Lisa Edelstein Writes Moving Essay on How Her Role as a Stepmom Has Evolved: ‘I Was Dating a Family’
When Lisa Edelstein first started thinking about why stepparents have a negative connotation associated with them, she did what any post-millennium individual would do: turned to the internet.
“I tried to Google Why do stepmothers have such a bad rap? but by the time I typed ‘Why do stepm-,’ Google excitedly anticipated my needs, showing me Why do stepmothers hate stepchildren? Why? Why?” the Girlfriends’ Guide to Divorce star writes in a new essay for Redbook.
“Is it so impossible to imagine loving a child you didn’t give birth to?” writes Edelstein, 50, who is stepmom to husband Robert Russell‘s two sons.
