I met my other half about four years ago.. we were madly in love.. We both had kids, his lived out of state and mine well.. I have raised alone most of their lives. So blending two families was something I was really excited about. Having help around the house with the kids was fantastic. Mom can only be so many people rolled up into one and being a parent to four boys and one girl.. Well guys need guys to talk to about some things. I got to meet my other halfs kids, they came to my home during a bad time..
