"Mon beau-père était comme un père pour moi."

Translation: My stepfather was like a father to me.

Interesting that stepfather and father-in-law translate the same to beau-père

[LeXu1]

you cannot help but wonder ... if someone does have her/his stepfather and father-in-law at the same room ... how to address/differentiate them?

Very strange

Why not "for me"? Either "for" or "to" sounds normal to me as a native English speaker.

[TimmyKilminster]

Is that in the US? Because in the UK, it would always be "to", since it's talking about a relationship.

[Lee_with_2_Es]

American here, we would also say "to."

Beautiful. Praise the men that can be fathers even if they're not biological fathers.

He is so difficult to understand with his method of speaking... Totally unnatural
