You and the wife must be well respected by your wifes friend. As you know you have just assumed a lot of responsibility. Just raise them the way you know is right and they will respect you and be grateful forever. BUT TWO THINGS PLEASE... 1. Dont ever talk bad about their father in these kids presence. No matter how bad he is for what he has done, if you bad mouth family, the kids will resent you, even if under their breath.. The younger ones will come to the realization on their own on why he is a bad person. 2. Dont ever try to "replace" their dad. Your name is Rob, your wifes name is ???, or Mr and Mrs. ???? or pick names all five of you are comfortable. Just dont force them to call you mom and dad, the older boy wont anyway because of his age. You sound very smart so you probably think that what I say is common sense or maybe just babble, but I had to deal with the two topics above raising a nephew and I am still trying to guide him at 26+ years old. It screwed him up bad as a young child. Your situation makes me well up with a tear, reminding of nephew. I WILL pray that your situation has a good outcome. Good luck, Rick
