n junior year of high school, my dad got remarried to the woman he\u2019d cheated on my mom with several years prior. <\/p>\n
As an angsty teenager, I was none too thrilled with his new marriage and was honestly pretty cold towards her whenever we saw each other.
\nA year later, my dad was taking me to the airport on my way to college, and my stepmom took off work to meet us there and send me off with a care package. <\/p>\n
She hugged me and told me that she was proud of me, and when she stepped back, I saw that she had tears in her eyes.<\/p>\n
It was at that moment that I realized that she wasn\u2019t a bad person, even if she (and my dad) had done some bad things in the past. Our relationship improved dramatically after that, and now she\u2019s like a second mother to me.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
