The Divorce Surge Is Over, but the Myth Lives On (Published 2014)

The high divorce rate of the late 1970s and early 1980s is starting to look like a historical anomaly, not a trend.

'Just because our marriage was broken didn’t mean that our family had to be' nyti.ms/1vKis1A via @NYTimes
Our Marriage Ended. Our Family Did Not.

Our Marriage Ended. Our Family Did Not.

My husband had more than one woman introduced him to her kids right away. And two told kids to call him "Daddy." Flag. On. The. Play. Ma'am.
My kids were aware that I was dating. "Aware" and "meeting the dates" are two totally different animals.
Don't use an introduction to yr kids to "prove" that u're committed. That shld be apparent for while--and mutual--THEN kids are introduced.
