[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 650890, member: 1550"] I didn't talk much about my kids at first either, especially Difficult Child. I wanted to see if it would even be worth my time...if WE had something good going on. Without even bringing up Difficult Child, I met so many people who would have never worked for me, even if I had no kids. It is really hard to divorce date and I'll bet it's worse now with all this new technology...causing ADHD for those who are in the dating world and like the idea that they can connect in a frivolous way to new people every day. Heck, every minute. Difficult Child was seventeen when I married my husband. It was a shock to him to see that my teenage son literally lived in his room, never coming out, it was such a pigsty that there was no way to clean it without ServiceMaster and that he would lie, cheat, steal and be as rude as a kid can be. His sibs, Goneboy and Princess, both avoided him. And Goneboy and Bart had this little competition thing going on..."I'll go out my window to the roof and get into your room through your window and steal something and let's see who can do it best. Ha ha ha!" It was scary and when we were at work, we couldn't stop it.They hated each other, but Goneboy was smarter and got away with more stuff because he acted like an angel. Into this ruckus came my husband. He also had a very needy, yet hostile eight year old girl, still reeling from the divorce who wanted mom to herself. It was a miracle he didn't run screaming. Things eventually settled down, especially when, during a time we seperated because I became unsure and scared, I had to throw Bart out of the house. When my, at the time just a boyfriend, came back at my urging, things were more settled without Bart stirring the pot. But still...my now husband did a lot for Goneboy and Goneboy did not appreciate all he did anymore than Bart did. In fact, Goneboy, who thinks he is the smartest person in the world and is probably way up there (so he is sort of right about his smartness) thought that my husband didn't make the intellectual cut, even though he is well spoken and bright.
