Then, in 1997, and my mom and step dad divorce. Still, I felt like I was missing something with him. Made my way through some awkward teenage years with him, and off to college. But hey, my mom really liked this guy, so I was in.
Couldn't ever really pin down what it was, but he was just off, if ever so slightly. With my soon to be step father, I always knew there was something a little off. So, living primarily with my mom, she would of course go out on dates, and eventually I would get the old boyfriend introduction which usually went well. My mom and dad had been divorced since my birth in the early 70s.
My mom married my stepfather in the mid 80s.
