[QUOTE="AnnieO, post: 266094, member: 6705"] It depends on who it is. As I am a stepmom, I have to be really careful with this. Of course the schools know. And my parents as they see the kids as their own grandchildren. husband's parents don't know the whole story, their behavior in their divorce and even now is so like the kids' biomother's behavior that they just say either 1) it's BM's fault or 2) the kids need to "grow up". Now my friends... One of them knows [I]almost [/I]everything - she's my best friend though. No one else knows much at all. Except here, because everyone here gets it. And, well, I'm mostly anonymous. One of husband's friends knows a lot because he lived with us for almost 5 months. But still not everything. Others - like the parents at football, for instance - know that there are issues with BM. [B]She[/B] will tell them anything she thinks will help her. But they see how she treats the kids and us at practices & games. So they chalk the problems up to conflict. Not the whole story. But if it's someone who [I]needs[/I] to know, yes. Otherwise - no. [/QUOTE]
