[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am a second wife.  My DH left his ex-wife for me.  We didn't start seeing each other until after he had moved out of their home and the marriage was rocky at that point.  However, he ultimately left her for me.

I hate to break it to some of you bitter ex-wives, but life turned out just fine for us.  We got custody of both of my stepchildren when they were 4 and 7. They are adults now.  I have a great relationship with both of them.  They consider this "home".   Their mother wasn't abusive.  She wasn't a drug user or an alcoholic.  We were just able to show the judge that it would be in best interest of the kids to live with us.  The [i]Guardian ad Litem[/i] assigned to our case recommended we get custody and that pretty much won the case for us.  She got every other weekend and four weeks during the summer.

So...contrary to what many of you might want to believe, life is pretty damn good.  Money is not an issue.  We are not paying any child support at all.  We did pay child support for two years ($2,700 a month in Georgia), but that gravy train stopped when we got custody of the kids.  We were able to successfully blend our families - I had two, he had two, we have one together.   They are all very close and consider each other brothers and sisters in every way because they were raised together.  And we've been married over 20 years.

My advise as an ex-wife who was royally screwed by an ex-husband.  Let go of the anger and bitterness.  Life goes on.  You don't have to forgive.  But holding onto anger only hurts you and your children.  [/quote]

You are the person that gives many of us second wives a bad reputation.  you still had an affair with him as when you started dating while he was married.  And, what kind of person takes a persons husband and children.  The decent thing to do would have been to let her have the kids.   She has every right to be bitter.  As a kid, I would completely resent you for breaking up my parents marriage and taking us from our mom.  [/quote]
