Children from previous marriage

I have one daughter; husband has two daughters and two sons. My husband and my ex get along famously, my ex is a hoot, and he just hates my guts. I will be seeing my ex-husband this coming weekend for the big college graduation. I am sure my ex-mother-in-law is all fueled up and ready to burn me with all sweet, but nasty comments. She is a very old white southern woman from south Alabama; you can’t go up against that, so now I don’t even try. I just don’t care anymore what she or his family thinks anymore. Like most, never see the ex unless it is at graduations, or he needs someone to baby sit his dogs, that he STOLE FROM ME. Now we are cool, we are cool for about 30 minutes alone, any longer, there will be violence.

Gotta let you know alot of respect comming your way. Most women neglect their children for a man who could leave or stay at any time. Always keep your kids needs in sight. Not that they should come above the husbands but personally if I was a child and my mother just married a guy who I haven't had physical contact with it'd be so wierd. We can only put ourselves in the child's position to really understand. I agree with who said not to take any other experiences or extreme advices from the board to your heart. Everyones life plays out differently. Take life one day at a time step by step and don't worry but also never forget your childs needs.

You falling in love with someone else and bringing them to your life and childs life doesn't mean you have to feel guilty . It will build a more fruitful family.

Very brilliant statement, so true, it is easier when they are gone, but if they live with you, I can see where that might get cagey. But never fear, they soon turn in to teenagers who hate everyone above the age of 20. You always have to put the kids first, but don't lose yourself into them, cause they do grow up, and than it is just you and your husband. So it is nice to go on a little holiday once in a while, without the kids, so you can keep connected. I sure could use a long long holiday.
