The same thing can happen if the MAN is divorced, with children, whether they live with him or with his ex-wife. Here again, I personally had a very good experience. My second husband had three kids, who spent their summers with us, and the rest of the year with their mom. Maybe at first they hoped their dad and their mom would get back together again. I don't know. What I can say is that I had -- and continue to have -- a great relationship with all three. (And they loved "V" -- didn't consider him a "rival" at all.) It helped that the ex-wife wasn't the least bit jealous of the children's relationship with me; she even encouraged it. She too remarried, to a divorced man with children.
