My ex husband and I have almost been divorced 8 years. My two oldest children are with him. We have a 11 year old daughter and an 8 year old son. We started our divorce when I was pregnant with our 8 year old. He was a partier and I was stuck working two jobs to support us. I finally had enough and left. I got with my husband only 6 months after we separated. ( don't judge we have known each other since we were 14. We were good friends that finally realized we loved each other.) my ex husband had dated a lot of girls since we separated. I wanted to meet each one when he would pick the kids up. Not one would meet me. Until his new wife now she was happy to meet me. We actually talk on a regular basis. We have since they have been together.

She has always been good to my children and even pays his child support. I have never pushed it but she has always paid it. She helps with school supplies, even meets up with me when they are at their house for two weeks in the summer so I can see them. She is amazing in my eyes and my children our blessed to have her as a second mom.

It's so nice to be able to get along with my children's step mom. My ex and I don't always see eye to eye and it's easier to talk to her so I do. I'm guess I'm happy we are able to work together and make it easier in my babies. They are all that matter
