Yes there is a chance. Get yer behind to a bookstore and begin reading!!! There is lots for you to understand. Read up on blended families and how you (as the step-parent) need to understand your role in this new family. Read up on the differences between male-female communication, such as the Mars/Venus books. Read up on how to show her your love, such as The 5 Love Languages. Read everything you can about controlling your own controlling nature, how to be softer and how you will certainly lose a woman's love if you don't figure it out. Women just can't handle the stiff, mean, or controlling/combative nature of men...the men must learn to soften it. Men have no problen with each other when the combative thing comes up between them, but to a woman it is a poison to her and to her love for you. Learn this quickly!
