Yup that is us, positively odd. Today my former stepson 16 came over and hung out with his brother so I could go with new husband to a Dr. Appointment. New husband gave him 40.00 to fill his gas tank for doing so. Afterwards we took him and bs9 out for lunch and mini golf and go carts. Bs has not seen hi's brother since mid July as he was away working at camp and ss16 had a big blow out with ex over his crazy behavior. Any ways it was a great time hearing about his exprience as a camp councilor and upcoming school stuff.he is

Oops on my phone. I was saying what a good kid he is. We talked about all his activities and his job.

It was so heart warming to see how much fun the three guys had. My husband really has a nice friendship with him. Stepson says I will always be his step mom and he referred to husband as his step step dad. Family is not always who you think it is going to be.

I have maintained relationships with my brother's two ex wives, their children and his lovely current wife - and her child. Not all relationships with exes are toxic.

When my brother married his current wife his ex SD, her daughter and the daughter of an ex GF were the attendants. They all love each other. Which is nice. A little different - but I will never criticize people who are kind and loving.

Must be kind of weird, but it seems like it's the awesome kind. Especially since exSS is old enough to really make his own choice on who he can see/doesn't see.

This past Sunday, we had DH's first ex-wife over (BM1) and her husband, plus the daughter they had together (SD32) and her son. It was a great time with lots of fun and laughter.

It is so much easier to be like that instead of the b.s. that BM2 dishes out. I would prefer to get along with her too but that just isn't going to happen.

Wow its nice to read some sweet stories on here.

I feel sad because the way things are so divided over here, if dh and i split up, i dont see ss and i having much of a relationship.

Or maybe we would since i would not be competition or a rule backer anymore?

My ex hates me and has told the boys not to have anything to do with me. I am friends with their mom after all we have been thought with the ex. The kids were in the house and know the truth about what went on.

I am so thankful to still have that relationship.
