During the wedding, the stepfather took the chance to give a toast. He expressed his love and support for his stepdaughter over the past decade, saying, “I’ve been in your life for ten years, supporting you and loving you like my own.”
What hurt him most was how she treated him compared to her biological father, who had not been as dependable.
He acknowledged her love for her birth father, despite his lack of financial contribution, and reflected, “I understand her affection for her birth father and her desire to have him in her life, even though he never supported her financially.”
