I want my damn life back. It was given to my BF and his son since I was 18 now 30!! I feel like I've cheated myself out of the life I should of had. Enjoying my teen years, and early 20's, instead of playing stepmom to a messed up kid. Too late to complain now, must move on!! I have 2 kids of my own, and planning on moving out very soon to start a new life, and never look back. Of course, my BF and SS will still be in my life, but not the center of it anymore!!

Yes you need to do things that make you happy. Find hobbies that you enjoy. I can relate to this. I was in a relationship from 16-20 and then met my DH at 21 and I'm married now at almost 27. It is easy to lose your own sense of happiness when you start a family young. My DH and I broke up a few times in the beginning so I did go out and have my fun. And for a few years there I got wrapped up in the bubble of our home life. But now I go out with my girlfriends once in a while, read my book on the back patio, paint my nails...things for ME and me alone.
