The only problem that I forsee is when D and her SO have a child.
The dynamic will change, but I can tell that's expected in your mind and RB's. However, the part that I think will get tricky is the rearing of the child. Parents are notoriously protective and selfish with their children. I see this daily in "step" relationships. There is a very thin, but very palpable line in "ownership" of the parenting. Not that you'll try to take any measure of control, but mothers aren't the most rational of people. If you help too much, you're invading, too little then you're apathetic.
If everything else works out, I can gaurantee that this will throw a rather large and obtrusive monkey wrench in the mix!
In any regards, good luck and God bless!
