Haven't been around ... no news is good news. Things are stressful as always, but Westley and I are very happy.
cool

Becoming instant/unexpected full-time parent/step-parent to his teenage daughter has been a challenge for us all to rise to, but I think we're doing pretty well. Big change to the family dynamic.
crazy

The younger kids' grief support group only meets a few times in the summer, so they don't have that resource again until after school starts in September. I don't like that much. The anniversary of their father's death will arrive before the groups reconvene.
frown

But, for the most part, we're all good and hangin' in there. Hope there aren't TOO many new faces in these parts ... it's a club none of us expected to join.

Ex,
Glad to hear things are well with you and Westley.

Blending families is always hard, I am told.

But kids in general you just got to love them and keep loving them, don't give up on them!!!

Have a great day and summer!!

Over the weekend the Princess Bride was on, so I had to watch it just because of your story. True Love Triumphs.

Your children will make it through the stress and trauma with your help - even as the anniversary looms.


It was a marriage that never really started.
