SD13 is sucking the life out of me

I recently realized the last time I was even remotely happy was just before SD came to live with us.

I have been trying really hard to have a positive attitude and keep peace in our home but what has ended up happening is that SD13 is an emotional vampire that just sucks the energy right out of me. She is one of those chronically negative people, and everything has to be about her. I spend the majority of my time in conversations with HER, about HER and any problem about HER that she can come up with. My DD21 has already realized this and bowed out. Both my DD and I are nervous wrecks on the verge of mental breakdowns.

I am not angry. I don't dislike her. I just can't do this anymore.

I feel for you,I too have a miniwife sd8. She is moody and unpredictable. Once in a while she will trick me and act pleasant,only to go right back to being her sulking,pouting,overindulged self. It is so gross to look over at her pouting face. Dh wants the world to revolve around her and for me to cater and dote on her. No way am I doing that. It is draining to be around her,so I mostly avoid it.

I don't think I could handle living with Ss7 full-time, so I can relate to you. So sorry you are feeling like that...
