Relational aggression and your experience: is this you?
Recently I wrote a response on one of my blog posts (called "my grandson" on the Adult Stepchildren forum) about Relational Aggression. On that blog someone suggested that I post my response to the main site because it may be helpful to many of you.
The original post is here:
If you have ever been told you are too sensitive or you need to "just get over it,"read this article.

I loved this article. It expressed what I have been unable to express for a long, long time. I felt a lot better after reading it so I thought it might help many of you here too.
Hugs.
35-year-old SD called today for money--AGAIN.
I won't go ino the whole history, but this kid has been asking for and getting money for a looooooooong time. She's alway's got a sob story. Today I just reached my limit, and told H that this has to end. When H saw I was perturbed, he said, "Kids!" to which I replied "She's not a kid. She's an adult." I also told him that this child has never had to live out the consequences for her poor choices, and therefore she will never stop asking for money. This upset him H. Now I feel llike a mean old witch. BTW, I had no role in raising this SD (Thank god).

spoiled, grown step children; an annoying ex-wife; and a rejecting sister-in-law: ring any bells?
Hi. I'm new to this site and this is my first post. I was just wondering if anyone else shares my experience. My struggles can be put into three categories. (1) grown step children who are spoiled and compete with me; (2) ex-wife who lives in the same town and can't let go of what she believes is her hold on my husband and his family; and (3) a sister-in-law who has made it clear she prefers the ex-wife to me.
