Good job.
I want ot say. I was absent from my daughters' lives due to addiction for about a year. I wish thet had a step-mother like you. When I came back into thier lives(and have been present ever since)thier step-mother was jealous and angry. Even to go so far as to yell at my daughter's telling them that I was no mother because I was an addict. My girls told me aboutthis. I explained that just like Snow White ate a poison apple, I took pioson that made my brain sick and made it hard for me to take care of them. They were 4 and 5 at the time. They accepted that answer. Now they are 8 and 9. They knowwhat I've done and love me regardless. I think you are doing the bestthing for that little girl . Keep upthe good work. Let her guide you. When she asks questions, give her age appropriate answers. If she calls you mom, just accept it and relsih it. It's a good thing. No self-respecting mother would faukt you in what you've done.
