Well well well Teamboyd2012 I hope you know how to pray! We have similar situation only the ages are different. I'm serious about the prayer but I sometimes wonder if I would have came in my SK lives when they were a little younger if that would have made it better. I will say this I've been in the picture for going on 8 years now the oldest is 18(girl) and we have the best relationship of them all. The 16 and 13 year old both boys are in there teenage phase of life so those are the issues I'm dealing with. The youngest is 7(boy), their mother was pregnant when we first met, they all have the same mother, I don't have any relationship with him. I have grown a lot, some things don't bother me the same as they use to. I have set boundaries for myself and the dynamics of our situation. I will not be unhappy, stressed, or disrespected PERIOD, when those things come into play we all have a problem. So what I do is try my best and do what I can to not have any of those emotions come into play. It probably sounds easier said than done and it may not come over night but have faith and love and you'll be fine.
