My wife and I have been together almost 7 yrs, married almost 6...She was an internet bride...I never met her two kids (a son and daughter both adults) til after we were married...I don't think they knew about me til after we were living together - before we wed.
My problem is I want to be more involved with her side of the family, but I can't get close...I mentioned this desire to my wife, but she kind of shrugged it off, saying that they still had issues with their dad, who has since died.
It is frustrating to be almost a non-entity with her family...I feel almost like a stranger - with her son and daughter anyway - on the few occasions when we've gotten together...We're in CA, they're on the E. coast...Anyone have any ideas or suggestions on how to let these kids know that I would like to be a part of their lives - even a little bit more than it is now.
Thank you.
