my ex-wife's daughter was 2 when I met them. Mother (26) was in the process of divorcing hubby (he cheated with a 18-year old). We dated for 7 years and then married. The child was delightful and called me "daddy" (called the father "father"-very much in the picture, everybody was very friendly). She was completely broken-hearted when Mommy left me for a fellow amature tenor 15-years her junior 3 years later.
I'm not bitter... :p
If it wasn't for that, would have never met my current wife and my son would have never been born
So, the kid was fine, it was the mother, who... etc etc. Oh, have I mentioned that everybody in this story was Catholic??
We rule...
