Hello various step parents. I'm new here, just need to vent,maybe get some opinions and positive feed back. It all started nearly 10 years ago. I met my then boyfriend,who is now my husband. We met during a very fresh separation from his first wife. He gained custody of his two small children( girl who was 8 and boy who was 5). Mean while,I was a single mother of two girls,ages 15 and 18. I enjoyed this man like no tomorrow!!! He was so loving,kind and caring. He was so excepting of my children. All of a sudden,3 weeks after we met, I found myself raising 5 children instead of 2. WTF????
