Hang in there. I know it's tough when they think you are the devil incarnate, out to make their lives a living hell. Lot's of times my stepson didn't like me, thought I was being mean, etc, but I did what was right to the best of my ability and now that he's grown and has kids of his own he understands. We have each other's mutual love and respect and when his kids call me grandpa I kind of choke up a little.
