Healing to heal - my experience with my step mom
And he was typically right there in the room as well, but I would just brief him over what I had done and what preparations were finalized and everything. And then I dressed my mom. So I went to the funeral home and I put on her clothes and got her ready for her funeral. So my grieving process was pushed back because I had business to take care of

Because her great grandchildren not her grandchildren, but her great grandchildren were at my dad's house every day, and she was babysitting them. And then her grandsons had to move in with my dad and her because their mom died and their father was in prison, so they had to move in. And then, like I said, she babysat her great grandchildren, all three of them, all the time, for her granddaughter to go to work because her daughter worked too

But she stuck right by his side. She was there till the end, and so I always appreciated her for that. But then when my father passed away, my sister really kicked it up a notch as far as being mean to her and disrespectful. And she ended up moving out of my father's house, and she got her own place, and she never told me where she was. And so for a year and a half, I had no contact with her

And as well as your father, I'm really sorry about the experience with your mother, your stepmom, rather. It seems like you guys were off to a good start and then life just happened. It isn't your fault, and I'm sure you know that. But sharing this information today will help someone. Because if you pray and you ask God to help you to like someone or get to know someone, they will. And let me tell you how it blessed me

I wouldn't be comfortable hearing this conversation, and if I was dating or getting ready to marry a man who had children, I wouldn't be having this conversation with his children. I understand her concerns are valid. You haven't had sex in a long time. You don't know if it's going to be pleasurable for either of you because it's been a long time. Her concerns are valid. However, I just don't believe that you were the right audience for that particular conversation

I appreciate that I went through that because I believe it can help me when I have stepchildren. And that's how we do. Every experience that we have, we learn from it. We take the good and we keep the good with us, and the bad, we throw it away. And so that's what I did with that experience. My children still talk to her. My daughter still talks to her. Both of my daughters actually still talk to her
