This is an I-Heart podcast.

Guaranteed human.

I found out my stepmom was cheating with my dad years before the divorce.

Now my stepbrother has something to tell me.

Is it?

I just got a no pack of Pokemon cards and I found a holographic Charzard and I want to share in the reward with you.

You know, Sam, I have to let you know.

That's exactly what it was.

No, I love holographic Charzard.

Bro, let's collect them all, baby.

All right.

Let's find out what it actually is.

Yeah, you're thinking instead of catching Pokemon.

We're catching cheaters. Uh-oh. Catching nuts. When I 22 male was four, my dad, 42 male, divorced my mom. About a year later, he introduced me to my stepmom, 42 female. And she now has two girls, N and D, that are both 22 as well. They married only a few months after dating and went on to have three more kids.

G, 16 male, L, 10 male, and S for female.

Okay.

My father adopted the twins N&D because their biological father was not involved.

I've always considered all five of them, my siblings, and we've never used step or half to refer to each other as siblings. When I was six shortly after G's birth, my mom passed

away in a car accident and because of it, I started to live with my dad full time. My relationship

with my stepmom improved from there. She never adopted me. However, she, along with my dad, kept my mom's memory alive by keeping in touch with my maternal grandparents and other relatives as well as visiting the grave with me on special days. Okay. So it sounds like things are going well. Yeah. That's, I think, a pretty good dynamic they have so far. If you can visit the grave of your real mom with your stepmom, then things are peachy.

It's pretty good.

Yeah.
