I Ann Landers and yes Guys a woman has the right to change her mind. Dear Ann Landers your advice to a reconsidering in Tulsa was right on. She a the Divorcee with two Small children dating a Man who has told her that he s not crazy about Little kids. Before our marriage my husband admitted that my kids 5 and 7, made him nervous. He had custody of his children who were in their teens. A a done was such a Loving patient and generous father to his own two children that i assumed he would treat mine the same Way. I was wrong. Because we both wanted to save our marriage we sought family counselling. I can to honestly say we became a the Brady Bunch a but counselling did help us live together More peacefully. All the kids Are grown now but they will always carry the scars of those awful Battles with their stepparents.
