‘They have so many feelings. They’re teens. But it’s going really well so far,’ the mom-of-two reflected.
‘What I hope to cultivate with our family is that his kids have a new ally in me and my kids have a new ally in him, someone who really loves and cares about them but can have a different perspective and help me see things that I can’t see with my kids because I’m so emotionally tied up.’
