Congratulations. Put aside what you think others are thinking and just stay focused on what's important. Your family. No one can fault a family for trying to make it work. Stay working for as long as possible to help financially, and try some different things than last time you were together. Go out of your way to put yourself fin his shoes, be good to his other kids and let some things go rather than reacting (my advice for myself, if I take a pause rather than react, things blow over much more quickly). good luck hon
