Is it worth continuing in this relationship?

I have been dating this woman for nearly 2 years. She has two girls from a previous marriage (we have both been married and divorced twice). She says she loves me and I know that I am very much in love with her, have been since I first saw her.

The problem has several aspects: 1- While her ex (the father of both girls) had partial custody he abused them. Both girls show all the classical signs but only the youngest, 6 years old, admits that he did. The courts do not believe the girls and so custody battles continue. 2- because of the abuse the youngest girl is very stand offish with me, even though I spoil all of them and try everything I can to win her over. The oldest daughter 9, loves me. 3- She and the girls live with her parents and have ever since she left him 3 years ago. 4- There is never a lot of time for me because she works long hours and feels guilty about not spending time with the girls so she devotes most of her time to them. 5- Because both ex's turned out to be real ******* she has put me in that category if we were to get married so she says she will never get married again to anyone. HELP! Do I stay and keep trying or do I move on? I really do love her and want to spend my life with her and I do believe that she loves me. I see it and I feel it when we do have some time together.

    Stay with her and support her dont spoil the youngest too much just be yourself and they will probably come round to you. She just feels insecure about long term relationships it isn't your fault.
