:sick: I just want to know if this has ever happened to any of you. I raised my stepkids from the time they were 5 and 7. Their BM dropped them off at my home 3 months after DH and I were married. She was with her new boyfriend and they were moving 2,000 miles away. For 15 years she had almost no interaction with them other than a once a week phone call. No money ever given to help them be raised. SD got married and the minute BM found out she was pregnant, she moved in for the kill. She told SD she should not having anything to do with me.
