I think this boy's needs should be top priority. You and your dear hubby might have something very important he needs. Hubby needs to know you're a bit nervous about the meeting so he can help you feel at ease... maybe a little extra affection--touches while he's there, so the teen has a clear message how in love you are--that's what you need. Seventeen--an important year for a boy. He needs positive role models, and he will see what a wonderful woman his ex-step-dad is married to. :wink:
