Parents of step children, do you really love them as much as your own children?

I know what answer is 'expected' but hoping for some honest and reflective answers. I'm a parent to two children and I love them equally, however if I were to become a step parent I cannot imagine how I would love them in the same way and to the same intensity. I feel as awful as it is I would always prefer my children (though try my very hardest not to show it). Can anyone enlighten me with their own experiences? via /r/Parenting https://ift.tt/2GJ15Ia
