Melania Trump has made a series of revelations in her latest memoir.
“Stepping into a marriage with Donald, I found myself navigating the intricate dynamics of his big family,” she explained.
“My approach to building relationships with Donald’s children has always been grounded in love and respect,” Melania said, adding that Donald's older children were already "more independent" and Tiffany Trump was in her "formative years" at the time.
“I recognize their individuality, understanding that, as their stepmother, my role is not to replace their mothers but to nurture a supportive and amicable connection. This perspective has enabled me to cultivate meaningful relationships with each child in a unique way," she wrote.
“While I may not agree with every opinion or choice expressed by Donald’s grown children, nor do I align with all of Donald’s decisions, I acknowledge that different viewpoints are a natural aspect of human relationships,” she confessed.
Melania continued; “I have focused on creating an environment where everyone feels free to express themselves authentically. Rather than impose my views or critiquing others, I have aimed to be a steady presence, someone they can rely on.”
“I understand that being possessive is not conducive to a healthy family dynamic. Each member requires their own space, and I have made it a priority to respect that need," she concluded, admitting that she prefers to "communicate" instead of being "controlling."
