He is a good man but his children still never acknowlege my birthday or my son's. I have went out of my way to be good to these well they are adults now not children. Ever since we have been together I have tried hard to be patient. when we married my son was 14, his son and daughter were 19 and 20. I can handle myself but it was my son i worried about. He was already having issues due to my job relocation. When my husband and I got married we moved to his home. This is when it seemed his kids really took charge. They were used to getting their way.
