I was so upset after the whole ordeal yesterday. Barely slept while DH slept like a baby. So I broached the topic again this morning about SD18 and the shit talking and also her hitting my DD6 in the back of the head. I told him how I am tired of her shit and refuse to even be subjected to her b.s. DH said that there's not much he can do and that I should let it go. And then said that he doesnt care when BM and SD18 talk shit about him and I should just deal. I said hell no! I told him that I have and always will defend him and I excpect the same. He then said that he knows that SD18 is exactly like BM and that he knows she will never changen He also said that she has chosen her life and he will not bail her out. I told him that I still refuse to be around her and that he needs to deal with it. I then brought up SD18 hitting my DF6. He said he has not talked to SD18 about it because he wants to do it to her face. So we will see I how he will handle this. Either way next time cops will be involved. I told my kids they need to tell me right away when anyone hits them because its not ok. I think the fact that he finally said that he realizes his daughter is a lying drama starting thief.

Thanks for all who have been reading and commenting on my situation. It really is comforting to know that im not alone. In one way or another we are comrades in this way of life called step parenting.
