Hi Everyone,

I just found this place and I'm so glad I did! I've been reading a bit and this site is a haven!!

I'm married and have a toddler with my husband. His two children (SS17 and SD12) primarily live with us. Their mother has them about 4 days a month. My SS has cognitive issues and I'm not sure sure what will happen to him after high school.

Of course, I wish my step kids were with their mom more so I could have more time alone with my baby.

I knew what I was getting into when I got married... but didn't know what I was getting into. I'm sure many here understand.

I hope to meet some great people, offer what assistance and input I can, and vent a little (ok, a lot!).

Cheers!

Thank you for your thoughtful suggestions about my SS. His cognitive issues are not severe enough that he would qualify to live in a group home or receive SS benefits. He is a senior in high school and working at a fast food place. We hope that he will be able to go to and finish trade school. It seems like a stretch for him, but we'll see.
