The new love

A few weeks after the separation, Chuck’s dad (Chuck) got himself hooked w/ the online chat. Even coming in to work late several times. He started chatting w/ a female (Maggie) staying in NY.

Maggie has 2 kids and her ex living in NY, and was helping her son and daughter-in-law w/ their 3 young children at this time. She was staying w/ her son at this time but had a house in Ohio, also another online interest...as was written in her profile.

She and the dad chatted online for a few months...although Sharon swears the dad’s been cheating w/ her for years...and, on her way to OH from NY, stopped in to meet the dad face-to-face in late Feb. Guess this meeting went well, she ended up moving in that March and broke it off w/ her other Internet bf.

Chuck was never really fond of Maggie. He thinks she had this other interest as a standby incase this meeting w/ the dad fell thru. Now even Ken doesn't like her, but my sister-in-law and I do. We figure the boys don’t like her because she's not their mom. However, they still treat her w/ respect and are nice to her, which is good. The best thing about this relationship? Not only does the dad seem happier, but she is also the same age as the dad. I’d rather have her around than Sharon anyways!
