I feel like every time I say something emotional to my husband or ask for emotional support, he attacks me and blames me. I cant even tell him through a text while I am out of town on business that I need emotional reassurance without him sending me 14, yes, 14 nasty text messages back about how I give him no credit for all the good he does, how Im never happy and all I do is put him down. All I said was I need emotional support and I wish it was two years ago when we used to talk on the phone for hours when I was away.

How to Handle the feeling of Obligation?

Every time I do or buy something for my bio son, my step daughter expects the same or more. I am tired of buying double, paying for double lessons etc. How do i overcome this without really hurting her feelings? I want to spoil my son without feeling obligated to spoil her too, bc lets face it, my son is mine and she is not. She has a bio mom who can do these things for her.

Any advice is appreciated. Other than just scheduling time to be with my son on days SD is not there...?

What Did I Get Myself Into?

I need a friend. I need someone unbiased to tell me what I should do here. So Here is MY story...brace yourselves.

Let me preface this by saying that I divorced my husband a little over 3 years ago. He was a cheater and abusive to me. However, He was and remains a good father, so I gave him 50/50 custody and never asked for child support. WE maintain a good relationship for our son and I just stupidly expected any rational woman to act the same as I did.
