wouldn't this create an enormous amount of tension between our kids and her kids? i suppose i would need to love her loads to get in smth like this, but then again i would need to love her loads anyways. maybe i just need to listen to other people's opinions on the subject.
Hi Tin , The answer is ' May be , May be not ' . Going into a relationship with a single mum and a young child needs a lot of care . You will need to be able to leave space for ' Mum and child , Mum and her X , child and the other parent , the child and the other parent ' . Your question tells me that you may need a longer time to familiarise yourself with all of these issues before thinking of any thing serious . Keep in mind that both the mum and child have already gone through a bad experience , a little thinking may prevent a second . Speak to your partner and ask her about her emotional needs . Wish you luck .
