Hello everyone! I've been lurking on this site for a number of years now and I have a feeling I'm going to be coming on here more often if my situation doesn't get better. I apologise for the long post.

I have been with my DH for over 10 years, married for 8 years and he is the love of my life. He came with a SD12 (now 22),SS10 (now 20) and SD6 (now 16) while I came with a BS4 (now 14) and a DD3 (now 13 ). DH adopted them 5 years ago.

DH was divorced from BM for over 2 years before I came along and I had just left an abusive marriage and was in the process of a divorce.
