It took me 35 yrs. to find the man of my dreams and 40 to marry him. My wonderful husband has a daughter, separated when she was 2yrs and divorced when she was about 4. When we started out the step daughter was 12 and my husband "shared 50/50 custody". A year later i move in and find that her mother does not take her half the week but 1 night every other week and MAYBE 2 nights every other. Before moving in the date nights where she was to be with her mother & mom did show up did not seem like much. Come to find out the time he did have her his mother or sister watched her.
