I know that as I step parent I tried really really hard to keep the peace. After a few initial bumps, things went smoothly. I was just wondering how many here are on amicable terms with the spouses ex, or even not necessarily amicable terms....even just peaceful.

FSD is now 18, her dad and I split up almost 5 years ago. But Steph and I have always remained close. Since dad and I split...Being FSD's sm was easy. Her dad wasn't horrible- we just didn't work out. Her mom wasn't horrible, she just had her own issues that she somtimes struggled with. Her mom was actually quite friendly after she realized I was not interested in taking her place.

I think I now understand the unofficial rules of this site- the biggest obviously being I should never make any assumptions about any of you based on your own words and your own descriptions of your behavior, but that everyone is free to make assumptions about me no matter how petty or unfounded only because they don't like the content of what I have to say, even when your comrades agree with some of what I have to say.
