Eavesdropping

So DH and I were out to breakfast this morning. The couple at the adjoining table was having an intense conversation. I couldn't help but overhear that the woman, a SM, was under attack from the man's kids (her SKs). The man was talking about how they would have to just define a new normal, and they were strategizing together about how to bring this about.
IMAGINE!!!

Yup. We talked a lot too early on. He told me his ex was emotionally and physically unavailable, and when i asked what he could have done differently that might have improved things, he said "communicate." *facepalm* *headdesk* There was my sign.
I forgot to ask if our relationship would dissolve when his kids decided it was time for me to go, even if that took a decade to happen. He also neglected to mention that his relationships existed at the discretion of his kids and anyone they brought home.

As I am an older adult (70) I do not give a *&^^*$#% about what any other person says or thinks about me. Including my DH. I know what I will or not will accept in my life.
I will not accept aholes - DNA be damned. I do not care if the disgusting POS person is related to me or to DH.
I have a limited amount of years left in my life. I WILL NOT waste one minute with aholes who want to do me harm.

Unicorn Help Desk, pls.
Honestly, I'd love to get some tips from a well-blended family. I think it's too late to have a normal relationship with SD9, but there's two other SD's hanging around that I could attempt to work with!
