Other People's Kids

By Troy Anthony

Other People's Kids is an amazing and hilarious adventure in single-parent dating and can be a guidebook for those in that dating scene. Based on a true story, Other People's Kids gives many examples of the games played after a divorce and the vigilance required in dating a single-parent. Erica - a devoted mother of two early teens - falls for a younger man and their lives become a roller coaster ride. The new relationship is terrible news for her two children and ex-husband, who have plotted to keep her single in the years since the divorce. Wayne - the ex-husband - weaseled his way into a marriage with the much more attractive Erica, by getting her drunk and doctoring a condom. Two children and over a decade later, she gathered the courage to leave him and his abusive treatment. In the years since the divorce, Wayne defined the word 'deadbeat.' His full-time job was using the children as pawns, trying to maintain control of Erica's life. The kids - Kevin and Lauren - are more than willing to help their father with his schemes. Despite their mother providing them with everything, the kids treat her like a villain. The kids want either their parents back together, or for her to remain single to play the roles of maid and chauffer. The ex-husband and kids managed to wreck her two attempts at dating since the divorce, but they hadn't met anyone like the new guy. Erica's new man is a brash and outspoken individual who doesn't want to make nice with his girlfriend's kids and ex-husband; he'd rather beat them at their own games. The new couple creates a list of rules they hope will be a winning game plan to a long-term relationship. The unbelievable stories that arise are a combination of hilarious and amazing, leading to one of the most shocking endings in relationship history.
