Another good day with step kids! Wow it feels a million times better than the past four years. Amazing what some rules, follow through & straight forward expectations will do for the lil hell raisers. I'm so proud of my DH for stepping out of his comfort zone & seeing the kids needed this... & staying consistent. I hope it lasts. Things tend to go in waves. 2 steps forward, 1 back, 3 steps forward, 1 back... This has been pretty immediate results tho. I hope my child with autism will come around & be able to bond with SS13. It makes blended families that much harder when you throw in specials needs.
