first of all, you have to look at his children as if they were your own and love them like they are your own. it's not always easy and sometimes it will be thrown in your face that your not their mother, but in reality you are because he has full custody of them and they are there with the two of you all the time and you help take care of them. you can't look at them as if they weren't yours because you will never adjust to them being there if you do that. my husband has a 10 year old little girl and i love her as if she were my own and we don't even get to see her. children are so special and each one has to be loved and feel that love coming not only from their father but from you as well. God bless
