there was once this young girl who was in a very bad relationship, and she had two kids with this man. this man was physically as well as emotionally abusive
finally, some sense got into this girl and she got far away from this guy (even tho she claimed she loved him) got a restraining order and judgement about only supervised visits with the kids
she ends up meeting this JEWEL of a man at a bowling alley, with three kids of his own. he has divorced because his wife is a LUNATIC. he has cutody of the three kids
so they meet and fall in love. low and behold, she finds out that two of this three children are not his biologically - he has chosen to raise these two as his own. and he has done a damn good job of it.
they have a child of there own now (can you say brady bunch)
why the story? it just shows you this type of man is few and far between and it takes a SPECIAL man to raise non bio children as thier own. i do believe that you are that sort of man
the time now is needed for patience, understanding and UNCONDITIONAL love. she MUST know that mike, she has to have CONFIDENCE in that fact.
and please don't be surprised if there is a bit of backsliding along the way, that is to be expected, so again, be patient
btw - this story is my niece - they are now living happily ever after
