I've been "dad" to Lydia since she was four. Her biological dad was always in/out of prison, sleeping with younger age girls, getting married, divorced, having multiple wives ... all in all, just wasn't ever there for Lydia. We bonded very early on and I had hoped he would wake up and step up, but it never happened. At age 14, she asked to have her last name changed to mine because "your my dad, and tradition says I have your last name". So, we changed her name.
