Very good points Saffie. They are step children, but I've been their other mom for 11 years, since the youngest were four. I know where their loyalties will lie. They love me very much and I love them very much. Of course he's their dad and they will ultimately go with him, but especially DSS20 and DSD16 will side with me initially. I know that in an intervention they would definitely side with me. They'd help me fight for our M, in other words.
