Dear Queenie,
My husband was married and had grownup children when his wife had an affair and left him to be with the other man. I met him a couple of years after that and a year later we got married.
His children think the divorce was his fault, and they don’t like me because he married me so soon after we met, so they don’t have much to do with us, and my husband misses his children.
Queenie, is there any way I can make peace with them?—Second wife
Dear Second wife,
All you can do is be patient and hope your husband’s children will eventually come around enough to understand everything that has happened to their family.
Meanwhile, give your husband all the emotional support you can in dealing with his rather immature grownup children.
