Its made even more difficult in the fact that she can be very jealous and has had issues with sharing daddy with me. even though we have been together for over 4 years.
Her mother is also very difficult and we have endure years with solicitors to get access to her and even now she doesn't follow court order.
We are mainly concerned that we wont see her again because of how her mother can be.

We have told the rest of the family but only did that at 14 weeks as my SIL had miscarried last year and my younger siblings (youngest is 9) took this quite badly.

Sorry to hear about your dilemmas! I feel lucky that my situation feels a lot less complicated.

Hope all works out for you. xx

I want to wait both until after the 12 week scan and until all these hormones have settled a bit before I tell the step-kids... two of them will be fine but one will be absolutely

... and I'm not sure I could handle that right now, especially knowing that I'm well, still so early (I think 7wks tomorrow...)
