Writer's Block: The right fight
Nov. 20th, 2009 09:59 am[Error: unknown template qotd]
At nineteen I married and became the step mother of two boys. The older was five and the youngest was two and half.
I love both of the boys, but the younger is very special to me. We bonded and that bond has lasted beyond the twenty
year marriage that ended in divorce. My step son and I chose to be part of each others life after the divorce. That was
seventeen years ago.
As an adult, he has seen his parents go through three marriages each. He had a short marriage himself.
He once told me he didn't want to fall in love with any one who had children because he saw all the painful things
I had to deal with in ex-wives, ex-in-laws and all the cheating from his dad. He is afraid he would fall in love with the kids
and lose them after the relationship ended. I asked him how his life would have been if I had felt that way.
He looked very serious and said, "I would be dead now. Both my parents were not there for me and you always
were." I still cry when I think remember that moment. Our bond is my most important and proudest accomplishment in my life.
