I hope all goes well for you all. Life is to short... as we all know. Maybe they realize since you and Andre have been together it is a good thing for you. My sister and I didn't talk for quite a few years.. we made up and although 3,000 miles apart. We talk and exchange photos.. it is so nice to have her in my life again.

Wishing the very best for you and your family.

MC,

My thoughts and prayers are with you for family peace and love. Life is so short to be separated from our loved ones.

Many of us have experienced situations where a relative or close friend has opted to be obstinate. The older we become, the more we realize how temporary our time is here on earth. I truly hope all works out for you this time around and that your sons and family opt to come back into your life and also accept Andre.

Please keep us posted on how things go. My very best to you.

Thank you all for your replies and wishes. I am so ready for this reunion. I will keep you posted. I really hope they are as ready as I am and its not just curiosity on their part. I will keep you posted.

Being married for the fourth time myself, I feel whom ever you choose to spend your life with it's your choice and should be accepted by whoever comes into your home. Of course I don't know your whole story of family acceptance of your loved one versus family members especially your mom but my take on the matter is "take it or leave it."

Them being your family members won't change so you got to keep the one you are with happy in my opinion. Again that's how I've lived my life, satisfy yourself and the one you are with.

I had a good friend that lost the one she loved because her kids didn't like him.
