I'm so glad that my stepfather stepped up and took the "father" role that my sperm donor was too chicken-shitted to take. I wouldn't have it any other way.

Of course. There is room for as many INVOLVED and POSITIVE parenting figures in a kids' life as there are people willing to fill the role. A kid cannot have too many loving positive role models in their lives. I would welcome a step-mother into my kids' lives as long as she wasn't a dysfunctional mess. I am secure enough in my role as their mother to be completely fine with my ex remarrying and bringing a woman into their lives. I suspect she and I would become friends too.
