Where do I start? Ive been with dh for 8 years, I have two girls and he has a boy and a girl. The kids were young sd being the youngest at 3. I poured myself into sm position, I did everything , everything... we had sd ss often n I became a mom of four ( so I thought) sd and ss were at nightmare at times, yell n cry for hours, meanwhile I would explain to my kids to try to be understanding and that ss n sd were just having a hard time....... fast foward to 5 years later, I was a depressed, confused mess and dh
Wasnt helpful at all everything was my fault. Not to mention bm was evil n teaching sd to be evil too.i left him , I didnt feel I had a choice. We were apart for a year which I have to say was pretty nice but i loved him and back together we went, along with a bunch of promises from him about things being different. Present time: im back to being a depressed, confused mess. Sd is now 11 and expressing how much she hates me, she get suspended regularly from school for hitting, does what ever she wants , nothing is her fault. Sd Told school bm choked her n being an adult I agreed to have her with us full time. She wrote me a letter in which she called me every bad name in the book and had the balls to call refer to herself as cinderella lol. Im so unhappy and about to call it quits, ill write more details later but I come here once again broken and not knowing where to turn.....none if my friend are step parents and they just dont get it. I need to vent before I exploded

If you want to maintain a relationship with your dh, I strongly suggest that you disengage.

Don't have anything to do with her. Let your husband be responsible for all of her needs, and you just care for your relationship with your du and your children.

It sounds to me like she has an issue with women. That is not your problem, and prob has more to do with her bio mom. I would set strong boundaries, as all children need rules and boundaries. but I would have your du implement all rules and boundaries. If she breaks a rule, let her dad know and he punishes her immediately.

I am so sorry for your situation and hope you can work this out, as it sounds like you love your dh.

Thank you, just being able to say this without ppl gasping as if I was the evil witch of the east , west, south , and north lol is a relieve. I have disengaged but dad is still letting her get away with murder, tells me he has handled, but im not sure what that means.

Ty, honestly this is starting to sound like the best option unless he will suddenly wake up n see reality
