My mom lives with a man?

Question

My mom has lived with a man for 16 years since I was 5, they are not legally married just together. Well the point is I kinda got into an argument with his ex wife that was really closed to us she’s the mother of his son she said he’s not my step brother then what is he or what are you’re thoughts on it ? We got into various arguments because of dumb reasons example one because of a Facebook posts but she said he’s nothing to me but she used to take him to our house and my mom would treat him as of a family so what do you guys think? Is he actually not my stepbrother or is he?

Ivan · Accepted Answer

He is your stepfather in your minds and hearts, just not legally. He would have no standing in a legal proceeding. That does not mean he isn't family though.

Technically no, he's not a stepbrother since your parents aren't married. Why would it possibly matter to her??
