So I met this terrific guy about 8 years ago, we got married. My then 10 year old son and 12 and 13 year old daughters loved him, he was terrific to them. His girls were already grown... we moved to the state they were in around June of 2009... they treat him like a bank and me like the nanny... what can I do besides disengaging? I have tried to be friendly with them, but I end up getting used. I was not there for their growing up years and he was driving a truck, but he always sent child support.
The oldest one has 4 kids, he adores them, but we are limited on contact with grandkids. I tried being friendly with the BM also, that did not work when I would not bad mouth my DH with her. I told her that we married 2 different men because my DH was not the man she was describing. It is basically BM's show though, what she says goes... any advice?
