[QUOTE="DDD, post: 601339, member: 35"] Perhaps this will make you feel a bit better, lol. I remained single for six years and carefully chose my second husband because he was gentle, a great Dad to his kids and not in the least confrontational. Combined we had six teens but they did not all live with us..his kids primarily lived with their Mom and stepdad. My son was totally devoted to me and gave me NO problems...he was the easiest of my three bio's. SO...when I shared with my children that I had decided to marry my son "turned" into a PIA. For EIGHTEEN MONTHS he referred to my husband as "Mr. X". He not only didn't choose a name for him...he acknowledged him as if he was a visitor who just happened to live with us. They ended up being friends. For a number of years they were tight as ticks. That much loved only son of mine caused a heck of a lot of grief for almost two years. Introducing a new spouse ain't for the faint hearted. I did my best. You did your best.....but, alas....you messed up big time by pretending he was a contemporary. Fall back and regroup. Show your true love for each of them and don't "turn" on your wife. It isn't necessary and can be fatal. Good luck. DDD [/QUOTE]
