As a woman of 40, now, I can look back and say that I had an appropriate childhood, with fun and chores and life skills taught. Friends who grew up running wild are not adults in that way-- they don't know how to care for themselves. End result trumps, I'd say.

Those kids are so fortunate to have you, and you're right - if they don't already know it, they will. Hell, tell 'em I wish you all lived down the road so that we could be friends just based on me reading your blogs! Jules, I too find this blog compelling and satisfying.

Kids need and want structure even if they don't think so. When they're older they will see everyone for exactly what/who they are, just as you said. You go girl, and keep taking the high road.

The ex is just a jealous manipulative bitch, keep doing what you're doing and they'll turn out just fine. 18 comes faster than you think. Good luck. Been there, done that.

It sounds like you're doing a damn fine job helping to raise those kids into successful adulthood. I applaud you. Jules, this is a great post.
