This life Stinks!

Oh how I think ending this whole thing would be easier than having to spend another holiday with skids that want nothing to do with me. I have been portrade as such a piece of crap that at times I actually stop and think .. did I do something wrong. The answer is yes ... I loved these kids, wipped their asses, gone to school plays, helped with homework, made their BIO mom mother's day gifts with them, showed them that there is more to life than just finishing High School. Many other things but I will not go on an on. Now I sit and find myself down and out. They come in my home and ignore me, they make their 1/2 siblings feel like they are not worth playing with. I AM DONE! I wish I could blink my eyes and the holidays would be over. Then at least for every visit after their mom can do the same thing she always does, call us to tell us the kids are sick and can't make it up. Just want to vent. Thanks for listening!

Oh, yes...the happy

Oh, yes...the happy holidays. I'm not spending Christmas day with people who hate me, so my son and I are going to my relative's house.

HOW?

How does your spouse feel about that? Won't that cause even more of a problem. I have thought about that but I keep seeing the whole thing blowing up in my face.

Thanks!

He's not my spouse. We're

He's not my spouse. We're dating. I've spent the last two Christmases with his family...every time I had to sit somewhere at the end of the table and his princess daughter (16) sits next to him like she's his flipping wife. Everything is what she wants...all I hear from him is "that's what she wanted..." So, when I told him, he was mildly upset, I simply told him, "That's what I want." Besides, he knows why I'm not going...his kids hate me and I hate them, and he won't pursue it further because he doesn't want to get into a fight. I discuss nothing regarding his children. If he starts to say something about them, I pretend I don't hear.

Sounds good but will if fly

Sounds good but will if fly when you are married. I am sitting here trying to figure out exactly how much time the kids will go to my husbands side of the family for functions. That way I can be with just my kids. The only reason they come is for a gift and lets be real...it is never enough. Why bother with the whole thing. If I could turn back the clock and be gauranteed my bio kids again I would have never gotton into this mess with a crazy ex wife and crazier skids!

Vent Away

Here are a few statements that I hope will help.

The truth always comes out.
It's none of my business what other people think about me.
As long as you can rest knowing you've been the best person you can be you can sleep in peace.

All this nonsense we put up with. I feel so sad for all of us who, during one of the funnest holidays, suffer more than any other time of year.

Hang in there. This too will pass.

Thanks

Those are very helpful words. For a brief second I smiled. Thank you.
