Loving Relationship
While some kids found it hard accepting their step-parents, with Kate, it was different. He accepted Kurt as her stepfather with an open arm. The two were actually very close to each other. Kate treated Kurt like he was her birth father.
Real Dad
Kate said that her relationship with her birth father has become uneasy since she felt like her biological father wasn’t interested in knowing her. Considering that Kurt has always been there since she was 18 months old, it is not surprising that Kate sees him as a father figure.
