“You see, Ron, I think I destroyed his dreams.”
A stepdad said, “When I married my stepson’s mother, I destroyed his dream of his parents getting back together.” Yes, because many kids of divorce do hold onto that dream it’s really hard when their parent marries. And that explains why the boy wasn’t welcoming to the stepdad. For a long time. The stepdad’s realization helped soften his heart toward his stepson and in time they found their way to each other. Dreams do die hard. And then sometimes, new dreams begin.
