First of all, I just wanted to say, I'm so glad I found this site! Reading some of the posts have made me cry, laugh, and fighting mad at times. I, like a lot of you really have no one to talk to, or no one that would understand, anyway. So, here's my story... DH and I have been married for 6 yrs. I have 2 children of my own, he has 2 of his own, and we have one together. Coming into the relationship, I thought it was wonderful we NEVER had to deal with BM. Needless to say my in-laws told me that " they didn't like BM, she never took care of the kids, cheated on DH...." blah, blah, blah.
