One great thing about the boyfriend is that he is a wonderful father to his 10 year-old son. That child is his life. He would (and does) do just about anything for that kid. I don't know the son very well, and I doubt that he even knows that we're together.
The ex-wife knows that we're exprecting a baby ... apparently she's not very happy ... I'm trying not to think about that because it just infuritates me. He hasn't told the son yet, and I'm terrified of his reaction. Normally I wouldn't give a second thought to the opinion of a 10 year-old ... but this is a little different. He's an only-child and although his parents are separated, it's clear that the lives of his mother and father revolve around him. How will he react to that changing? Is he going to hate me? Is he going to hate his little brother or sister? Is it going to be safe to have the baby near this kid when he can't even hold our cat properly? How am I supposed to act?
And the one HUGE nagging thought that is boiling underneath but I'm too chicken to bring up to the boyfriend ... is our baby going to take a back-seat to his son? Because I can deal with a lot of things, but not that...
