[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What is the current status and relationship with the Mother of your husband's out-of-wedlock child?
Romantic?
Civil?
Drama-filled?
Over?

If the latter, you could legally adopt the child, lay down the law in your house, and move on. 
Otherwise, divorce and move on. 
Lastly, do nothing and buckle up for decades of issues with the other mom, child, your husband, finance, and your actual two children.

What to tell the children?  Nothing. This is too big of a shitty situation, there is nothing good to say whatsoever.  If you or your husband are saying something good, it is spin and a lie. It will bite you in your ass for years to come as your children develop their sense of truth, morals and right from wrong. [/quote]

Not OP. I honestly can't imagine preparing my child for adulthood, for handling a plethora of shitty situations that will come his way, for dealing respectfully with his relationships in his future, for handling his emotions and mitigate their great potential for destruction...

...by telling him there's nothing he can do. THAT would bite me in the ass for years to come and set him up for tragic failure.

If nothing else, this thread provides good example of how damaging a mother's response can be in this situation. [/quote]
