I am teacher, and a mother of my own 6 year old daughter. My boyfriend whom I've been dating for a year, is wrapping up a lenghty drawn out divorce. He has 3 boys. They are 14, 9, and 7. Their mother struggles with a heroin addiction and the boys have been living solely with their father for the last 2 years, but really the last 3 years as that is how long this has been going on (to his knowledge).
