What just happened? Kramer's journey continues

[Kramer]

I also want to share something with the group, which was unexpected and made me feel good inside.

As most of you know, my bio kids have long ago left the nest, and we were living with my wife's bio children and niece. Since the affair, all of her kids except her 17 year old son have been angry with her for her behavior. Her niece lives with me. I have remained in contact with my stepchildren, and have them over regularly for dinner. We were a family for 17 years, and I did not abandom them when their mother left me.

The kids (young adults) and I HAVE had friction over the past few years because of their behavior (drugs, defiance, and problems with authority). I tried to provide a stable and structured home life, but they were not happy with my authority (or so I thought).

During my recent talk with my wife, she told me that the kids have been arguing with her and blaming her for breaking the family up. One of the twins asked her if she even missed me, and one of them put up pictures of their mother and I all over the house. Point is, they actually did appreciate me, and are pushing their mother into getting back together with me.

This came as a huge surprise to me. Things sure work in mysterious ways.
