I'm praying our relationship will continue to grow as he heals and realizes I'm not trying to take her place, but only be another maternal figure who loves and cares for him.<br />It's wise for you to be patient as your husband's ex finds a place in her heart for you. Sometimes it takes longer than we want, but if you're seeing some changes from this past year, it sounds like you're on the right track. My ex-husband never re-married so I haven't experienced another parent loving my children, but I agree with your position - there's plenty of love to go around.Step Parenting with Gracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17887365028028935903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3724816576562328580.post-58596366889594187462010-10-09T20:08:08.342-05:002010-10-09T20:08:08.342-05:00What a touching story.

I am still new, but I am trying to remain strong and loving as I wait for my husband's ex to accept me. I have seen very little, but (some) change this past year and I remain hopeful. <br />It is strange to me that so many women act this way when it comes to their spouse getting remarried. I would consider it a blessing that someone else is willing to love and care for my child when I am not around. I pray that when my ex marries it is with a woman that treats her well and loves her like I do. <br />It's very sad about your stepsons mother passing. Hopefully, someday your love will reach his heart. <br />I am happy that you have your little boy though. :) Great post.MFEO2009https://www.blogger.com/profile/04204650566306925124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3724816576562328580.post-23652107397141257182010-10-08T15:34:02.334-05:002010-10-08T15:34:02.334-05:00Thank you Sue.
