On the verge of divorce
so we recently had to move 3 of the 4 skids in with us because of their mothers drug use/ prostitution, older ones are teens 15,13 and a 9 yr. I have 1 bio with their dad. And 4 of my own. Life has been turned upside down. Husband didn't have a job for about 6 weeks. My exhusband has been giving us extra money to help with food and gas. My savings ( I say my savings because this was money I had set aside for my kids from their child support) went on having to bring the kids here from 2000 miles round trips x2. Plus having to build new room for the older girls to share. That didn't work out at all. Sd15 has a serious attitude problem. She treats my dd14 like a lower class citizen because she's older. And don't allow her to watch what she likes. She's lazy, don't clean up and makes faces and sighs when she has to wash clothes for her sister and brother. My daughter keeps breaking down at school and the nurse calls me cause of the added stress. Breaks down at dinner and all because when she comes home from a long day of school and practice for track and tennis all she wants to do is relax and watch the shows she's used to watching regularly. Well the first couple weeks sd15 wouldn't even let her have the remote. And after that when her dad told her to share it as soon as my dd14 would leave the room for anything like to get water she would come back and the channel would be changed. I know it seems like little things but the sd15 makes my daughter faces if she disagrees with what she wants to watch and no one likes being confined in a room with someone that dislikes every little thing they do. I finally had it out with my husband and tried to leave. Had my kids pack our SUV but he wouldn't let me take our son. So we stayed but I made changes. I had him move his daughter to the other room with her sister. While we wait and see what to do next. I'm in college and my kids are established in their schools. School ends in about 2 months so I can't just pull them out like that. So I'm having to be patient as I can be to try and tolerate the faces and attitude that girl has. She's ready to go home. And I'm glad. But obviously she can't. Hopefully I can get a job so that I can get us a place of our own this summer. I'm tired of dealing with all the drama already.

There is a lot more. My
There is a lot more. My husband is verbal towards my daughter there's a lot more that just tops it all off. And no my daughter isn't stuck on tv all the time. She has perfect grades, she son the teak team and the tennis team. We haven't had a problem with anyone fighting over the tv in this household until they came. My kids have been pretty peaceful. That's why it's so difficult for me to cope. As is messy, my dd is clean, instead of me being able to get my kids their things with their hold support I'm having to support a household so money is a stressor right now.
