who is a step-mother?
A woman who got married legally to an already married man who had children in his first marriage. The first wife could still be married to the man or not, alive or not, it all depends on the laws guiding the territory. What's more important here is the step-mother now has an obligation towards the children of the first wife.
Who is a real mother?
We can also call this woman a biological mother because she gave birth to the child from her womb.
Step-mother, real mother, is the love still the same?
Over time there have been many cases of mothers doing the unimaginable wickedness towards their children. Some may say it's because the biological mother was wicked at heart, or that because the step-mother did not directly give birth to the child hence no deep connection with the child. All these reasons are valid, but the question still remains the same. Can a biological mother and a step-mother love a child on the same level of love?
Myth
Overtime we have heard many stories of wicked step-mothers who maltreat their ward. And overtime we have come to believe that all step-mothers are the same, evil and uncaring at heart towards their step-children. But that's just what the media spreads, and trust me the media is a very powerful tool.
Truth be told
Whether the woman is the biological mother or the step-mother is almost irrelevant, because the ultimate answer we can find in the goodness of the heart of the woman.
