Can I talk about my girlfriend and her adorable children again? Because I really do love CM, and I’m glad she and her kids have chosen to share their lives with me

I wish my children were in a position to have the same friends all their childhood - I'm still in touch with mothers from my first ante/post natal group and I know that a lot of their children are all really good friends. Flip side of that is that if they were, it means that we wouldn't have done everything we have to provide them with a better childhood and broaden their horizons. It's all swings and roundabouts.
Kids have an amazing resiliency, especially if they've otherwise been brought up in nurturing households. My own kids were -- and to some extent, still are -- like this.
My Boy is currently DMing a D&D game with two of his best friends. He's known them since he was 12 [he's 31 now], and they've been together through about 30 houses [mostly his, some theirs], countless schools, the deaths of parents, our wedding, their weddings, and the births of our children.
It does happen! Not always, but sometimes friendships can stand the test of time and other hardships.
[Uh, I on the other hand, have practically zero friends in real life as it is. For an extrovert, I somehow can't keep friends. It's sad.]
I try to think back and wonder what I felt at that time, and the only thing I can really remember is how I hoped that everything would change. Funny how different things can be.
