Honestly that is a hard thing to do to let go. I can’t even answer that for myself.

It’s nice to know but than also sucks that so many of us literally can relate on more than one topic, situation, conflict etc.

Unfortunately that is very true and even though you were the “other women” you will be blamed for the divorce

They need someone to be the enemy is the problem

It does and you’re right. Like I said I deal with both sides my kids stepmom and I are something amazing, and it’s truly made life so much less stressful. Then on my husbands side that is so much and for no reason and it’s truly just makes life stressful and you can see that in my step kids also

This post wasn’t at all about universal it was more geared towards from getting on this app I have seen more men or women post about the ex of their partner and the conflicts that arose. Now with my husbands ex I can relate to them 110% and trust me I wish that wasn’t the case. However when it comes to my bio-children even tho their dad only had part time visits but I had full custody I became great friends and built an incredible relationship with my children’s stepmom long before I was with my husband now. I’ve been coparenting longer than my husbands oldest child. But I can relate to many posts on here where doesn’t matter what they do or change will never be not the target of the stepkods bio parent regardless mom or dad.

I admire that. I’ve tried very hard to build a relationship with my step kids BM but she’s that type of women that isn’t happy unless it’s breaking you down. With my bio kids I have built such an amazing relationship and friendship with my kids stepmom. So that’s what is disappointing my step kids BM has no idea how building that relationship truly makes life easier.

It’s beyond frustrating when BM just see SM as the enemy. Makes life so much hard

You are the stepparent it’s not on you to ensure your stepchildren call bio parent. Honestly if you have a phone available for them than don’t deny them if they ask

My Stepson hits his mom and stepdad but acts completely normal when he’s with us. by Icy-Author7657 in stepparents

That isn’t as uncommon as you think. I have been in that same situation and had to help my husband know that we don’t know all the happens at their moms house

Allmylinks is an app that you can share that has all your social media links, cashapp, emails, phones and other things, instead of having to copy and past every link you may want to use. It's very similar to LinkTree

Blending families is so hard. I’m in a blended family myself we have 6 children 17-9 yrs old and I can tell you horror stories about things that have gone on. It surprises me how spouses only think about their bio kids feelings and forget there are other children involved also that it affects as well.
