First, I would like to Thank everyone for allowing me to be part of this wonderful group. I look forward to tapping into all the vast knowledge and experiences that are available and learning from each and everone of them.

I thought being a step mom to grown children would be easier. they are 19, 20, and 24.. we can talk right? well, no. they are passive aggressive. I am constantly left out of events, pictures. there is not a single picture of me on their facebook pages and their dad and I have been together for 10 yrs. I had organized a father's day dinner for them and their significant others. All I asked for was their phone numbers so I could contact them and invite them myself. No one sent me their numbers. I was once again ignored. I cancelled the dinner. they were pissed. But you know what?

They're awful. I am 15 years younger than husband. I am 33 he is 48. We are both divorced. I have 7 & 8 year old girls. Now, DH (dear husband) and I have 2 year old son. His daughters are close with their mother except for two of them. She is bitter and angry. I am certain she probably has justification, but enough time has passed that I kind of feel like MOVE ON from your anger. 

Hello everyone....I am in desperate need of advice. 

I have been with my partner for a few years now. I have a daughter that is 14 and is very comfortable with the blended family. He has 2 x adult children in their late twenties (28) and (29) who dont live with us and who are apparently not so comfortable.
