I wished i had listened to my mother when she told me that child was trouble. i wish id payed attention to all the fits and the cry and the disobedience. but the love i felt for my dh was so great it didn't matter? where did all that love go? I feel sick all the time. I don't want to go home. we sit down for a family dinner and i don't want to be there becuase i don't want to be around her. i bite my tounge i do it. mainly for my sons sake. Then the bomb hits im upset and going for a drive and take my 5 year old with me and he says "why don't you pack your bags and go away for a really long time so that way my sissy will be happy" i cried and said son that won't make sissy happy every one has choices to make good or bad. and as long as bad choices are made someone will be in trouble. i don't make your sissys choices. she does." he says "i think you should at least go for a couple of days" my family is falling apart. and i love dh but im not sure love will be enough for another 5 years of this. Damn u BM for leaving your child and only looking back 2x to cause trouble. How can i love someone so much and feel so much hatred for their child? am i really that shallow? is this love even enough?

(((hugs)))) I'm sorry you are going through this. Any chance you and your DH can live separately for a bit? There's no law that says married people (or people in love, for that matter) have to live together. Sometimes you have to think outside the box.

Oh sweety I'm so sorry. I'm even more sorry that your DH allows this from her. Another step is right, who is filling your five year old's head with the nonsense that you need to leave? Would he be ok if mommy left and didn't come back? You are not shallow, I too can't stand to be around two of my step kids. The very sound of their voice puts me in a bad mood. When they are over I do what ever I can to stay gone as long as I can. Since yours is living with you something has to be done about her behavior, and there is always living apart from your DH. It doesn't mean you don't love him or that you're leaving him it just means you realize your sanity and mental well being are just as important as his bitch of a daughter. Don't even think about sissy, what would make mommy happy?

Well, for a while he didn't he made excuses and in the past two years he has really stepped up to the plate even sent her to a theraputic girls home for a while sent her to her aunts and she got kicked out of both places, she has went to dhs multiple times on me. 2 days before christmas she was trying to tell my 5 year old santa wasn't real and I popped her behind the head. not hard. guess what she said.... " its not fair for you to lay a hand on me but i can't lay a hand on you.!" DH is at a loss we have nowhere for her to go. hes sick of it to. hes more tolerant than me too. but when all that was said dh did get really mad about it.

he screwed up and felt bad for bm leaving her and let her have everything as a kid and didn't make her do chores or school work and now we are paying for it. so in return hes to hard on the boys.
