Step siblings with same father

Shiori July 19, 2024 11:38 am

Can someone explain if in REALITY, a stepmom will really feel guarded around her out of wedlock son? Aren't her daughter and stepson considered siblings since they share the same father? I know this is fictional...just want to know if someone have the same experience with step sibling. I have step sibling but never meet her.

    I think it's more like she feels that he's living proof of her husband's infidelity so she transfers that disgust onto him because obviously she won't start a fight with the dad and willingly leave all that wealth

    They are half-siblings since they have the same dad, which makes me seriously side-eye his sister for blushing around him. I don't care if they didn't grow up together. It's called boundaries. Regarding step-siblings, it can get complicated, imo. If you didn't grow up with them and have no blood relation, you aren't really siblings. At least that's how I feel about my step-siblings, and I'm not close with them. If you are looking for family, though, you can find it anywhere, really (i.e., found family, foster family, etc.).

    I figured the stepmom was just a cold person who didn't want another person's kid around, but it's possible she was wary for her daughter's sake, thinking he might be the one to cross boundaries because he is ultimately a stranger to her. If the parents were good people, though, they would have been there for him the whole time, and they could have nurtured a sibling bond as they grew– before the weirdo sis started to catch feels.
