Anonymous shares his dilemma with The Best T in the City with Tbose

Anonymous shared that after his divorce, he remarried. His current wife has two children from a previous relationship, and he also has two children of his own.
He says he loves his stepchildren as though they were his own and is now considering including them in his life policies.
However, he finds himself at a crossroads. A voice within tells him not to take this step since their biological father is still alive and present in their lives. He also worries that doing so might, in some way, be a disservice to his own children.
Reaching out to The Best T in the City with Tbose, Anonymous wants to know if there are any blind spots he may be overlooking.
“I’m a father of two amazing kids from my first marriage. After my divorce, I eventually found love again and remarried. My wife also has two children from her previous relationship.
“Now we’re raising four kids under one roof – and to me, they’re all just ours. I love them equally. I show up at school events, help with homework, make their lunches – the same way I do for my biological children. But there’s one dilemma that’s been weighing on me: life policies.
“Currently, my two biological kids are listed as beneficiaries. My heart tells me I should add my stepkids too, because I see no difference between them. But another voice in my head reminds me – their father is still alive, present, and providing for them.
“Would I be overstepping by including them? My wife says it would mean the world to her because it would show I see all four as one family. At the same time, I feel a duty to protect my own children’s future. And if their biological father also leaves them something, that could tilt the scales and create tensions later. What blind spot am I missing here?”
