Some of you may know that my partner hasn't seen his children for fourteen
years - a long story about parental alienation.   He turns 50 this year and
has been reviewing things.  He's found a PI and the PI has found an address
for one of them.  He's excited to try and afraid to be ...

Hi..I'll try to make this story as short as possible, but I am desparate
for some advice. I've been in a relationship with my partner for three
years now. She left her husband around four years ago. She has two
children. (B) aged 10 and (G)aged 14. For about the first 6 months of ...

Sorry, folks. Sent a message to the newsgroup by mistake.
Hope my SIL never finds out I put her email address on the net.
[sigh] Some days nothing goes right.

Yeah, Jimmy, don't forget that some of your thirty- and
forty-something fans take their kids to the show.
So don't be playing that song "let's get drunk and screw".  
On second hand, go ahead.  Mommy and poppa know what they are doing

My DH and I have been married for 9 months and I have inherited a 10yr old
SS.
He, in himself is not a problem - his behaviour is generally acceptable
and he has made a lot of adjustments to dealing with step - life.

I seem to recall a conversation quite a while ago about a SM in here who was
adamant that she was not going to  submit any income tax information to the
BM in relation to any CS issues.
Does anyone remember who this was, what the argument against submitting the

Long story short, I've been married to my husband for 9 years, and
we've had custody of my SS the entire time.  Now have two biological
kids of my own as well with my husband.
SS tolerated me when we first married, and now, at 15, completely

Lost that other message, about Lee. What's she doing, swearing at you?
That doesn't mean she doesn't know you're right. It means she knows
you're right and hates you. Think of yourself at Monet, unappreciated
in your own time but we'll all be standing over your coffin going,

I am new to this group, would love some support... I just got married a few
months ago. My husband and I have a wonderful relationship. He has a
daughter from a previous relationship. She's beautiful, and funny... I've
known her most of her young life, and we get along great. We ...

I never wanted kids and now zI have 2. Does it get better and does one
change their mind after awhile?

I met my new wife 4 years ago. She has 2 daughters.One who is now 18
and the other who is just 16 past in February.My wife was widowed

It seems strange now but both my wife, her oldest daughter and other

Well? Does it? It seems I can't open my mouth without my SS having Something
to say back about it. How do you handle that kinda thing? I just want to
...well, I don't really know what I want to do. Hide maybe?

My stepson is almost 20 years old and lives with us full-time.  He is a full
time college student and works part-time.  I married his Dad 16 months ago.  I
did not cause his parent's breakup.  I met my DH 2 years after she left him.  I
have been trying to get my SS to "put down the ...

I’ve had a tough week this week and stumbled across this site while
searching for some sort of help.  I know this post is long, but if you can
suffer through I’d really appreciate some advice and support.
I am currently engaged to someone who I’ve been dating for almost three

This is just to say that I'm a step-mom and also a BM.
Before I became a BM, I only had experience as a SM. (Of course.) I only saw
one way of looking at the BM until I saw from this board that there were
some really good, caring, BM's out there. When you get hooked up with a bad
