He said something like “ people think it might be easy to be in a step parent situation after divorce.”

My daughter is about to be 29 and she’s still not forgiven me for divorcing her father who was unfaithful to me for many years. She’s about to have my first grandchild and she still is distant. I need a lot of prayers.
