I am a bmom about 2 years into a reunion with my 33 year old son. During our "get acquainted honeymoon" phase my husband was very jealous of how absorbed I was with my son. I forget who said it, but they described their feelings as "get on board or get out of the way". That was my attitude too. I waited 31 years to hear my son's voice and no one (not even my husband of 28 years) was going to discourage me.

It didn't seem as "real" to my husband until my son came to visit us. Now we all get on great and just came back from a family camping trip together.

It just takes time. Spouses feel left out of the loop at first. Kids are usually estatic to find they have a new sibling and get along very well.

Good Luck
Trish
