Dawn… I was that step mom for my SD as well so I completely get where you are coming from. Overall, I do not have any issue whatsoever with how OW treats my kids. I know she is good to them and they are extremely loveable so I have no doubt that she loves them too. But…the fact that she met them while he was still married to me (her idea or his, doesn’t really matter) shows such disregard for them that I won’t ever forget that. That is a decision that tells me all I need to know about both of them and whose interests come first. It’s definitely not my kids’.
BTW… I also agree with Don. I do think that kids benefit from having many people love them. Doesn’t mean I have to be completely happy with who those people are.
