You are quite the role model for this site. Keep doing whatever you are doing. I think you should relish the fact that OM is hurting and floundering. He deserves it.
So I take it that you and SD8 get along great. I like that your C is on the ball with the problems your D14 is having with SD8 and W. I dont know what you can do - this is so tough with your D14 living so far away. I am actually hopefull to find and marry someone that has kids that are the same age as mine, but I realize that there can be some problems in blending. My kids have expressed their desire that they want me to meet someone with kids their age. I dont think they realize the problems that can occur.
