    Do they know how long you and J have been together then?

    Kids always love presents and a book is a great idea. Stop second guessing what is a lovely gesture!
    The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well.

    How old are they? I'd always advocate something that engages everyone in conversation - something simple like Where's Wally or Captain Underpants
    Do a little of something that makes you happy every day!

    You will be amazing with them. Why? Because you are amazing here, kind, thoughtful, warm. You can't help it! You're not going to be any different with them. You're going to be nervous, the kids will be nervous, but if everyone is in the same boat, then things will ease after a few minutes.
    The books are a beautiful thoughtful idea.

    Thomas is 10 on Christmas Day and Abbie is 5 in February. I was wondering about "The Witches" and "The Twits" for Thomas, and something like "I need a new bum" for Abbie

    Then why are you worried about T’s reaction to how long it’s taken to introduce you all?

    He's waited a long time to introduce me to everyone. It's not pleasant feeling like a secret for so long. It makes me wonder what's wrong with me. He says I'm a huge part of his life but how can I be when he's kept me so separate from everything and everyone else? Feeling like a dirty little secret for so long won't disappear overnight
