I married my wife 11 years ago and suffice to say, much like a few of the other stories I've read here it has been challenging as far as relationships go. I think I've only made it this far due to some empowerment training work that she and I did but there have been days...WHEW!!!

 So I have a rant coupled with a few questions and maybe someone here has the answer. I don't expect a ton of responses because I believe that most folk here are venting and much like me, "Have never been a step parent before" so we're all still learning.
