Is it ok?

[troubled heart]

Is it ok to continue a relationship with my stepdaughter after my divorce? I still pray for my husband but have come to accept that he no longer believes in our marriage. It's been almost 6 months since he left and has never attempted to contact me. Anyway, is it right for me to keep in contact with her and even speak to his ex wife. They have always been kind to me and has always respected me. My husband told me a few days after he left that our relationship and the relationships we have with everyone is "water under the bridge. " I also have a very good relationship with his brother. He has always been a brother to me and continues to treat me like his sister. I don't ask him about my husband and he does not talk about my husband. But wonder if it's right for me to continue these relationships.

I can't imagine why you should end such good relationships! I would check with the ex wife to see if she is comfortable with you having an ongoing relationship with your step-daughter, but I think it would be far more damaging to her if you cut her off just becasue her father left you. She needs to know tht your interest in her and love for her did not end when the marriage did. All the rest of them are adults and they will let you know if it's uncomofortable.

We are to love people for who they are. If you and your stepdaughter still want to relate, that's great.
