So I've heard through the years moms talking about the nightmares they have - the dreams where something is happening to their child, and they wake up terrified and have to check on their kid.
I had one of those last night, and man it sucks. Loving a kid so much is a little scary when you consider all the ways in which they can get hurt.
I know I am not C's mom - I try to tread so carefully when talking about my parental feelings for him, because I really don't want to step on anyone's toes. But I do think my dream is part of the whole step-parent journey.
He laughed when I told him about it (it was a pretty dumb nightmare, really - sinkholes in our backyard and tie-ins from the latest book we're reading), but I think he likes being worried about.
