[QUOTE="DDD, post: 593505, member: 35"] been there done that, although via marriage. When there is a child with problems that have not been solved prior to "blending" the chances of a solution are pretty darn remote once in the midst of a pseudo Brady Bunch gang. Teenage boys are not open to a man playing house with their Mom. In fact most teenage boys fondest wish is to remain Mom's "favorite" for life. in my humble opinion your and your girlfriend jumped too fast into the living together option and as much as I ccompletely know and understand what it is to have a difficult child plus siblings, mental health issues invading your daily life and the financial strain of trying to parent alone...sigh...I think she needs to "man up" and seek solutions for her bio family before trying to supplement yours. There are no "quick" solutions. Time will tell if you actually love her and her kids or if you are lonely...same will be true from her side. If it is a good match a few years won't turn it into a bad one. Good luck. DDD [/QUOTE]
