I am going to try to articulate my thoughts here.Would it be safe to say that if a man can not deal with his woman's grown children, tho he never sees them, just hears about them on occasion via the woman, would never be expected to live with them as with younger children, and he just "cant deal" with normal issues of teens and young adults, that the man has not real love for the woman in the first place?
My self included and a two other ladies I know have had men whose grown children, exactly like I stated, have no real presence in the life of the men, but because of issues the (single) moms have with some of the young adults involved the men just bail out...."cant deal...."
In two situations the men are in the mid 40's never been married and no kids, in another situation, been married, had grown kids, but still chooses to judge the woman's parenting style, in all 3 situations, we are just doing the best we can...but the men have bailed.
I have known far greater men and women who have stayed, even engaging in a step parent situation because the love they had for their partner was greater than their inability to "deal."
Comments and life experiences welcome!!!
