My stepdad's interview was both, the most complicated to conduct, as well as the most enlightening. His personal story is what made it difficult, he is both, a non-custodial parent to his kids as well as a stepfather so my siblings and I. Trying to separate the two roles was the hardest part for me, the part I enjoyed about it was how much I learned. I feel as if I am now closer with my stepdad. He opened up and shared vulnerable parts of his life with me on aspects we have have never discussed before. I have gained an greater love for him when he opened my eyes to how much thought he has really put toward my family and I, I could genuinely feel his care and passion coming through the phone.
