I moved in with DP a number of years ago, after a relatively short and blissful time together. I'll admit I didn't have any experience of stepchildren and in my ignorance didn't have any idea of how hard it would be.
After years of trying to bond with the children I eventually took a step back and tried to disengage in order to save my sanity and my relationship. It's not easy and disengaging is not my natural choice.
If I had my time again I would no way have given up my own home. Are there any stepmums who have tried this and made a success of living with a partner and his kids? I don't have children of my own.
