[quote=Anonymous]My kids love their step-mom, but they're young. Given how hard the teenage years can be, it has to be the worst time to try to enter a family. I think it's much easier to form that relationship when the kids are younger. (They also have no idea that their Dad cheated on me with her, if they ever figure it out when they're older I'm not sure how that will go.) I think it's been much harder for the step-mom to adjust than it was for my kids though (based on comments she has made to people I know.)

I do have friends that have a close relationship with their step-parent, but in almost all cases its because the original parent was out of the picture for some reason (absentee, deceased, or just minimal custody).

Oh, and as for interactions with the mom--it likely won't ever be an issue. I've met my ex's wife once at an event and we basically just ignored each other. She likely isn't as crazy or difficult as he portrays her to be, and most people aren't going to make a big scene in front of their kids (which is primarily when you're ever going to see her.)
