I started dating this guy because I saw how much his kids mean to Jim. He is a truly awesome man. We moved in together. At the time my D was 4years old and his s 8/9 & D 4y. A year later or Daughter was born. I understood his situation with his ex wife & tried to support him in his parenting efforts. I helped him raise those kids as if they were my own. My D went to live my parents cause she wanted to be close to her dad. 12years later I moved out, I needed to find myself. I felt so lost. We have always been in a R.
