Just be the best step-mom you can be, be loving and affectionate!. They may feel as you are trying to "take over" as the mother role, just let them know you'll never be able to replace their mother!.!.!.!.!.!.but you'll be there for them shall they need anything!. Unfortunately they may never realize what a great step-mother you are until they are grown!?!Www@Enter-QA@Com
You will have to take them to do things that they enjoy!. Think about it!. When you suffer a broken heart, whether it be death or love, what do you do!? You go out and find things to do that help take your mind off of things!. It's the same thing they need!. Doing these things will occupy their minds and, at the same time, help them to establish a bond with you!. This is a different bond though!. You have to realize that even though the bond between you and the boys might grow into something very special, it will never replace the bond they had with their mother!.Www@Enter-QA@Com
