I met a man 7 years ago after my 27 year marriage ended. We were good together. I fell so much in love with him. He had 3 children from a previous marriage, ages 6,8,& 14, at that time. They lived with there mom. The first summer we had them (3 months) was very hard on me as they didn't seem to like me from the start. I knew it was going to be rough on them, because they saw their dad with someone other then MOM. So I was very careful on how I handle having them in my home. The first week the 8 year old (boy) carved his name in my antique table that has been in the family forever.
