I've been in my skids life for just under 10 years. They were 9 and 11 when I met their mother. Bio-dad was there but never did much. I did the running, school activities, paying, you all know the deal. The kids are now 19 and 21 and they were home for the summer. The boy (21) came home from the Air Force and just took over the house. Laid around all day, wouldn't pick up a dish to save his life and "took" his mom. It was like I didn't excist for those few weeks.
