Hi Emily. I think it's great that your son can change himself, I wish I could say the same about my girls.

I can understand that you find it a little strange that your step-daughter changes your son, but I wouldn't read to much into it. It's great they bonded in that way. A lot of girls start to develop motherly instincts at that age. My older daughter also loves taking care of her little sister.

As Jasmine has already suggested, its also possible that your son is missing something. 13 is a difficult age. They aren't really children anymore, but also not grown ups. My daughter is the same age and some days she is still my little girl that plays with her dolls for hours and want's to sleep in mommies bed because she id afraid of the dark. Other days she talks about boys with her girlfriends and is embarrassed to be seen with me. It's important to meet them where are from moment to moment.
