Re-Married with Children

No, not really. We're actually my dad's second family. So I guess I could still feel your pain. Sometimes my step-brothers and sisters are jealous of us.

I had the experience before,I can get along with them very well .We all know that we can't always stay with our parents ,so,they need a partner to care each other!!!

Oh well I think you just have to accept her and understand her. She does have her own emotional needs that need to be filled with. I guess its also hard to live all by herself especially when all of you are already living separately from her.

My parents divorced when I was 5 and both of my parents remarried...my Mom remarried twice. Growing up I didn't like any of my step parents much but I think in the case of my Stepmom it was more my fault than hers b/c I wanted my Mom there and not her. In the case of my first stepfather...well lets just say the flames of Hell for eternity is too good of a punishment for him. My Stepdad now is a pretty good guy...he's really good to my brothers and myself. He can be ornery now and then but so can we. He also treats my Mom good which is a big plus in my book. I also get along a little better with my Stepmom since I'm older. I don't see us being best friends or anything but we talk sometimes and we don't fight so that's good. It's really hard on kids when their parents get remarried b/c their already dealing with alot of stress from the breakup and now they have to deal with a new person. It's also hard to get close to someone new when you miss your mom or dad so much. The best advice I can give parents in this situation is try not to force a relationship and listen to your kids when they have problems with your new partner...sometimes there's reasons for the problems.

I sort of had to deal with this. My parents just got divorced and I am 25 years old. It was hard for me to deal with that even at my age. It wasn't difficult because of any emotional sadness I felt, but because they both kept playing me off of each other and interviewing me about each other. It was a rough time. My mom was supposed to get remarried after she had barely been divorced and we knew it was a bad idea. She ended up calling off the wedding because she realized that she didn't love him.

Glords i had to deal with it as a young child and trust me its not easy, especially in africa where the old-skul people have some cultures that are not friendly to children generally. but on the other hand as painful as it is, i think you ought to think of your moms hapiness and just let it be. am sure you dont want to see her depressed and in bad shape
