Hi ! This is my first post here. Hoping someone here has some insight on my situation.
I've been divorced for 8 years and for the most part get along fine with my ex. My kids are 14 and 16.

You are so right. Because of the kids , the relationship is going along slowly and cautiously....which is the smart way. I am glad about that.
With maturity comes acceptance, I think....and hope. This age is very self centered. It can be so ugly!
1st, I commend you on keeping men out of your kids lives until you are sure.
The fact that their dad is an addict
Hi.
Hey - Priscilla brings up a GREAT point!
Yes , Pricilla does bring up a great point and its so true of teenagers....they have their own busy social lives and don't want you around except when they want you around...I should have no life except for them.I should be there at their beck and call. My world should revolve around them.
And I totally relate with your sister. My DD is acting the selfish brat and I won't be surprised if thats how she'll always be when it comes to this. Maybe one day a friend will say something to her , like your DD said, and it'll sink in or knock it into perspective....or maybe not!
Either way, I've finally found a wonderful guy and I'm not letting him go because of my kids acting unreasonable. I am just going to stress the respect issue.
I have to thank everyone who took the time to comment on my situation. I really feel better after reading your wisdom. I even feel empowered now to have my guy over for dinner when the kids are home....imagine that!
It's really in their best interest for you to be happy... how does it go: ain't no one happy if momma ain't happy?
LOL!
