Dealing With Step Children.

Tweet

My husband and I have been married for seven years. He brings to this union two children from a previous marriage. His children live with their mother and when my husband and I first started going out together they all seemed happy about it. We all did things together, I was invited to their house for different events. Things seemed to be working very well. My husband and his first wife had been divorced for many years before I entered the scene. I believed that his children were happy for both of us. After we got married his children suddenly did an about face. His daughter started lying about me, his son stopped calling him. It was a big mess for years. I tried very hard to make sure that my husband could spend time with his children, but I soon started to regret this. His children and his ex-wife made sure on those visits to run me down. His ex-wife at one time even told him he had to make a choice between her, the kids, or me. I am at a loss as to how to handle anything with them now. I try to be supportive of my husband and his relationship with his children, but I end up feeling guilty about what has happened to this relationship. So I need some input as to how to deal with this situation. I am not sure how much more of this I can take. I never intended to come between my husband and his children, I have a daughter from a previous relationship and if she ever treated my husband this way I would just be devastated.
