He went to visit his mothers family that first christmas and his mothers mom told him "She is your mom now and you need to treat her like it". Anyway, he got his mothers mom's permission to love me and they have all been mine since. The family is great and has welcomed me and my kids (I have 4 and now 7) with open arms.

I won't tell you about my eX...

Thanks for all the encouragement

I´ve been there too with a kid that just hated me, spoiled rotten she was, thankfully her Dad and I broke up before we got to the marriage stage.

Good luck :D Elle
