I was only 20 when I married my stepkids' dad. My oldest stepchild is only 9 years younger than me. I made a lot of mistakes, I acted stupid and immature. The kids weren't very nice to me, but I should've acted like a responsible adult. I've grown and learned a lot and I want to repair my relationship with my stepkids. I want them to be a part of my children's ( their siblings) lives. I apologized to them numerous times, they say they are not upset with me, but they don't seem to want to be around me at all. They are teenagers and have a lot of personal issues and I would like to be there for them as a friend. What can I do? I feel so guilty....I know they were very disrespectful to me too, but they were just frustrated because of their parents' divorce, etc.
