hello, I have not posted in awhile. I have been reading and wish I could take all this pain, misunderstanding and make it go away for everyone. I wish there could be peace in this blended family life.

I just wanted to write and find out if anyone ever feels like I do, right now. This is the first time in 7 years it has been like this. It has been very peaceful lately. No adult stepkids causing conflict. I really don't know why, but I am enjoying it. But I kept feeling like something is going to happen, because in the past every two to three days something did. Has or does anyone ever experience this? In the past there is always something. These last 2 weeks no turmoil or SKs causing problems. What gives? The SKs were with their bio mom/DH X this last weekend and I know problems always happen after they have been with bio mom. Does anyone have any idea why this long time inbetween the SKs causing conflict in our life? I wish I knew what it was, because I would make sure we continue doing whatever it is.

Could it be SKs have not had much contact with bio mom, maybe bio mom is finally happy? Could it be DH has changed his ways and is not allowing the SKs (his kids) disrespectful behavior? Are the SKs too busy to cause problems? Are the SKs finally growing up and excepting their father's wife and happy current life? I wish I knew and hope it continues forever.

I am just going to enjoy it and I wish everyone the same peace I am experiencing right now. God bless.
