I married a man 2 years ago. We had lived together for 4 years prior to that. He has 2 daughters. There mother has not been in the area for several years. Twice a year she will see the children for a few hours. The girls were raised by their great grandmother in the projects. When I came into my husbands life, we brought the girls (now 11 and 13) to live with us. Their lives blossomed since we were awarded custody of them. 7 months ago, my husband left me and the girls for another woman. I was fired from my job from harassment from his girlfriend. I get no support from him for his children. I am the only one who has ever cared about these little girls. Not legally mine, but I feel like they are. What can I do? Can I get assitance or any help at all? They want to be with me. They call me mom, and are afraid of losing me as their only parent. Please help.
