Hi everyone,
DP and I have been together for 9 months and have got to the stage where we are thinking of introducing each other to our children. He has a 6 year old son and I have a 1 year old son. I am very worried about this prospect because all I ever seem to hear are horror stories, how the children hate their prospective step parents, how it causes friction and stress.
I think it is easier for my DP because my son is only 1 so he won't really understand and if the relationship continues for a long time (which I hope it will), he will have always known DP to be in his life. I am worried more about my relationship with his son as he is older, can remember a time his parents were a couple, has more understanding etc. I am an extremely caring woman and would never treat his son differently from my own. I have very little experience of blended families.
I know I can't live in our own bubble forever if I want to continue the relationship but I am hoping I can hear some positive stories that will quell my fears
