Problems with step children..yes!!! Am in the middle of all that now. My step child is 11 almost 12 yrs old. My hubby..well, I divorced him a few years ago..after many many years of trying,fumbling, thinking and loving. I have man that I live with now..who is quite a few years younger than me. Oyes, and I have 5 children and 4 grandchildren.

This is the place to talk and get advice..or just talk. I am pretty new to this forum myself, but have all ready got alot of help and support along the way... and don´t forget the laughs..they are here too.

So..whatcha waitin´for???

Dottie55, you'll be amazed how many of us suffer from the same problems. I use to think I was the only one with one problem or another, then found this forum and was taken back by all the support and advice so freely and lovingly given. No guilt, no fingers pointed, just love and understanding...

Update on the above issue...Step son is okay now...we email (he's in Japan on assignment with the Navy). The other problem (my step-DIL) and I no longer communicate...and I just don't worry about it. Life goes on...with or without certain people in our lives...we just have to make the most of what we get dealt and appreciate those who love us back.

Dee, I like your attitude. It's healthy. You have two boys, right? How many step-children?

Thanks Dotsie.
Yes, 2 sons...Ray 36 and John 30. Three step-children...Danielle 30 (never see her), Grady 26 (rarely see him), and Larry Wayne Jr. (in Japan with the Navy till Christmas).

Dotsie, it's the only way I can be and be okay with it all.
He doesn't reach out to me like he used to but that's okay, too. I don't let it bother me anymore.

Dee, I thought I saw my son last night at a car dealership, and made a u-turn on the highway to check, but no one was there by the time I was able to turn around. I was sick to my stomach all night...
