Both my parents remarried when I was 13, and they've been married to my step parents longer than they were to each other. I have three stepsisters and two step brothers (plus my own brother). I haven't seen my stepsisters since they all disowned their father as teens. I'm very close to one of my stepbrothers while the other is busy doing his own thing - we've always gotten along though.

The stepbrother I'm close to, well he dotes on DD, she adores him too. We hang out, do stuff together - the "step" doesn't really come into it. He's my brother, simple. I get along well with both step parents even though we all drive each other crazy at times. I guess we all just respect that this is how our family is and we all get along (mum and dad and step parents all get along too).
