I have been with my husband for over 13 years. His ex-wife turned his children against me, then, so sadly, 1 year ago she passed away. I am trying to build a relationship with them however, my husband thinks they think they’re going against their mom if they are close to me, even though I just want to be their friend, not their mom. Also, his Italian family has still not accepted me. It’s so difficult because with my previous marriage, I was so close with his entire family, closer to when he was. Now, now I have to wait until they accept me and I don’t know if it will ever happen. I just don’t know what to do anymore. When I first met him, I was hoping I would have children for the first time, not real children, and not to call me mom but children, they would never allow that because of their mom. They put her on a huge pedestal. Lastly, when I try to address it with my husband, he gets angry with me. Any suggestions would be helpful! 🙏😰
