I was fascinated to learn from your book that there are stepmothers throughout the world and throughout history. I loved what you wrote about the Bee Eater birds in Kenya. Thank you for always taking an angle on stepmothering I hadn’t considered, and for always making me feel normal. And for writing about stepmothering like it is an interesting topic. And as if stepmothers are smart. I was so sick of reading Hallmark-card sentiments about stepmothering. Thank you for a deep book and for your deep considerations about what it all means. Bless you, Wednesday.

Dear Beeg, don’t worry about getting back at your step-mom, she probably already knows that you don’t like her. She’s probably ready for any mean or cruel trick you are trying to concoct. Just leave her be, with a step-child like you I’m sure she’s in her own hell. Her only fault is being with love w/ your dad. Get on with your life, and try to be productive and nice to people, that’s all any of us can do. You know how you have been told to eat right cuz it does a body good?? Well, I’m here to tell you to start thinking positive thoughts cuz they do a mind good, k?? Life is hard enough without ‘getting back at people’ – you’re wasting a lot of energy thinking that way. Good Luck!!
