I should have added what you were thinking as I wrote that post......."What are you suppose to do about all of this she is going through"? As long as you love her and want to make the M work, then be there on the sidelines so she knows where to find you. Be a big part of the children's lives. If she turns to you where her mom is concerned, be as much comfort as she will allow you to be, however, expect almost any type of reaction or emotion to come from her. All you can do is be close by if she choses to turn to you. It will be hard not to cave in to your feelings during those times...."if" she does turn to you, but try to remain strong and rational b/c she probably won't be. She is so young to have all this on her. I could not have handled what she has at 23. I would have been a basket case with three kids, much less all the other stuff. I pray that things will take a positive turn soon.

It is not about what you feel should work in your M. It is about doing the work that gets the right results. Do what works!
