A New Daddy

When parents split up, this can be very devastating for children. Ending my marriage had to be one of the hardest decisions I’ve had to make in my life, but deep down I knew it was for the best.

I often wondered if I would ever find “Mr. Right”?  I eventually did meet someone. I’m not gonna lie, in the beginning, it was tough. Not only did we have to get to know one another, there were 4 little girls (my 2 and his 2) who now had to share their parent and their “stuff” with these new people in our lives. Not to mention the other mom and dad who we had to deal with. There were days when I thought to myself “what did I get myself into”?

But, the day Bruce and I got married, and I saw how excited and happy my girls were and when Caitlin said with a smile on her face that went from ear to ear “I have another daddy now so does that mean I can call him daddy now”, that’s the day I knew for sure I had made the right choice and that he was “Mr. Right”. When you can find someone who treats your kids like their own and is good to them and they feel comfortable enough to want to call him dad, it’s a great feeling. It will be 12 years in April that we have been married and the girls and I still feel very lucky to have Bruce in our lives.
