All of my kids are grown, my fiance has 4 kids- 10, 13, 16 and 18. After we are married, is it better to buy a 'new' home or live in the one that the kids are accustomed to?

Answered by: Dr. Kevin Skinner
My boyfriend's daughter who is out of the home refuses to even get to know me. I know its not about me personally, yet how do I handle it? And should we wait to marry before she "comes around"?

My first wife died and I have remarried. I love my new wife, but my children don't like her. They have stopped coming around because they say I have changed. They want me to divorce my new wife, but I don't want to. I feel torn between losing my children and my new wife. Is there a way I can get my children to accept my new wife?
