After helping my husband raise his kids for 8 years in our home, the courts sent them to live with their mother. Im not going to lie, the last few years have been peaceful with only my 4 and 6 year old to focus on. Now two of his kids (15 and 16) are staying with us again. 1 was court ordered and the other was left by the BM. This "transition" has been hard as one is on a tether and the other, well honestly hes an asshole.
