Dear Queenie,
My husband and I got married after he divorced his first wife because he fell in love with me. His children, who are all grown up with families of their own, resent me because of what they think I did to their mother, but it was him that did it, not me. I didn’t have anything to do with him until after his divorce.
Now his children are rude to me and they are telling him he should divorce me too, like he did their mother.
Queenie, shouldn’t he put our marriage first, before his grown-up children?—Fed-up second wife
Dear Fed-up,
Your husband should see his children alone, without you, and insist that even if they do not like you, at least they should treat you with respect.
A professional counsellor might be able to help the two of you work out a solution to your problem.
