62 yr old. I'm writing because I am shocked that someone else is going through all this pain (like me) with such a similar story. I am sorry for your pain and know what it's like for I, too, have been there. I married a man who's ex wife lives in this town. She's remarried but that hasn't kept her from making certain he doesn't have a wonderful life with me. She, along with their kids, are just full of hate - at it's directed at me. I've been married five years now The daughter (now 30) has yet to sit down and have a nice conversation with me.

So I am new here and am SO glad that I found a website where I can hopefully vent and receive some good advice about my current situation. So from the beginning.. I met my husband in January of 2008. We dated for about four months before he proposed to me. For these four months, and on to the following February my life was absolutely blissful. I had never been happier in my life and TRULY felt that I had found my soulmate. He introduced me to his just turned 3 year old son in March of 2008, and I thought he was just adorable.

Had enough and dont know who to turn to

I feel so lonely today. My partners daughter is coming to stay with us in 3 days time and she's staying for 4 nights. I'm dreading it and keep getting tearful. She's recently been caught out at playing me, her dad and her mum off against each other and blames me. She hits me, kicks me under the table so her dad can't see, stamps on my feet when her dads out of sight, glares at me all the time, won't do as she's asked and lies about me.

Not even 9am and I am sick of SD9

I swear, she knows the exact things to say to make me cringe. So far this morning she has told her 4 year old sister to shut up for no reason because she was trying to watch a movie, talked about how her maternal grandparents cook soooo much more bacon for them for breakfast than we do (don't worry SD, it's quite obvious you've been hitting the bacon hard), proclaimed to me that DH is HER daddy when I sat down next to him and immediately ran over and sat in his lap, and whined that she did not want to go to church because she had a self-made play date with the neighbor.

Proud of my son (Skid) but my heart breaks for him too.

Recently my son (SS-19) called my parents to tell them that he would like to spend his ThanksGiving (7 days) and Christmas leave (10 days) with them at their house. They were thrilled and they told him he is always welcome. Dad asked him if he was going to Oregon (SpermLand) for part of either holiday. He said "No Deepa, I am not ready to go back there yet. I want to relax with family." I was proud of my son for making his decision based on what he wanted and not in response to a toxic guilt trip, and I hurt for him at the same time.

so sorry you dont want to be a part of our family

I'm tired of trying to incorporate children into my family that don't want to be. Ss is now 15 not sure I have 3 more years of trying in my bones. They are tired from the last 12 years.

Bm you win. You want our house to be the bad house, you say you want the kids to have a good relationship with their far-reaching but your actions speak different. They scream of PAS.

Keep your kid. Let us go on with our life. Calm boring and in-fun
