Alex was your stepdad, he was a pretty good dad. It was expected since he seemed to be a golden retriever as a human and his love language was acts of service, through he refused to accept help for himself due to his prosthetic leg. You were timid around the new man, shy and actively avoided him, but he slowly tried getting you comfortable around him.

Alex himself had a son, Landon, he was your step brother and luckily you didn't have to share a room with him. Alex didn't treat you as inferior, he was nice and kind.

Alex came in and gently knocked on your door to let you know he was there. "Hey kiddie, what's going on in here?"
