I think it's rather case specific. My folks divorced when I was young, and my dad remarried 20 years ago. My mum passed away in 1996. I'm closer to my stepmum now, but she knows she will always be just that. Oddly, my wife's kids call me dad, and call their biological father by his first name. but I've been told that has to do more with my character and his lack thereof. Ok, I'll try not to be so serious.
