Oh my...first of all - I am so sorry you are going through this. You didn't mess up hun...you answered questions and gave your opinion...it is your step mother that is having trouble with it not you ok?

My sons are not old enough yet but to compare it the best way I can...I can offer advice you can share with your step mother....my former mother in law and I still have a good relationship...we talk quite often and I visit her every few days...I always felt that I divorced her son but not her. She still thinks a lot of me and myself of her because of the way we handled things...not all inlaws are like that I know.

Your stepmother will go through a range of emotions and right now...you are her target as you expressed your feelings....it will smooth over with time. Try to sit down and talk to her letting her know that you are not going to take sides and hopefully she can see that too. Tell her that since divorce is not in the picture right now...it is important to think of their child they have and if and when they work things out....her son will respect her more.

Gosh I hope it works out for everyone. Keep us posted ok?
