First off, you wont be mother- dont try to be
I think it will be fine because you are concerned enough to be asking questions!

I married my wife a few years ago and he had two daughters from a previous relationship. It definitely took some time I was afraid they wouldn't like me, and yeah it was a struggle sometimes, I felt pretty left out. But we all got some counseling and I made sure her kids felt like I loved them too and things ended up great. That was one almost bad experience that turned into a positive one. A year ago, I ended up adopting the girls and now they are my legal kids (with rapidadoption.com) and we couldn't be happier. My advice is to treat all the kids fairly and equally and to give them time to develop their own relationships with each other. A counselor wouldn't hurt either.
