Back story....i married a man who has 4 kids i had one of my own. Great father sweet husband. On the other hand His mother has blamed me for evrything in his life from the kids behaviour to the relatioship they share to the divorce. Any time anything went wrong it was me. If we left a party early it had to be beacuse i wanted to leave. Has talked ish about me in the same room. Has called me Lilith (from the bible) just down right horrible to me from before i was pregnant, through my pragnanacy and after the birth. She asked to speak to DH and myself.
Step mom to 4 SK (3 SD 14 11 9 SS 7) with a HCBM. I hope someone can relate but i am loosing it. They are little spys for thier mom. They secretly will be on Facetime with her for hours while me and DH are clueless cuz we are busy doing house hold things. Its strange to me. The kids will stand outside of my bedroom door to listen to our private conversations. They record things around the home. The will shush each other if they start to speak about things in moms home. They also take things out my BS (4) bedroom such as underhwear, clothes, socks etc for thiere little brother.
Been disengaged from SD13 for about 3 years now. Sometimes DH makes snide comments like "I know you guys (me and SD) don't talk." or "I know you don't have much of a relationship." etc. So I think sometimes it definitely bothers DH that I am staying disengaged.
Well, SD13 was here all weekend with no plans so DH had the wonderful idea of making us all go grocery shopping and do a CostCo run together Sunday morning... to feed his "one big happy family" fantasy. Literally, the ENTIRE time SD13 has something negative to say.
SD: "_____ doesn't like me" referring to DS3.

I was so embarrassed by my SD’s(12) behavior last night. I’m super nervous because lately her attitude has been getting bad.
We attended a local benefit dinner for a family friend with Stage 4 Colon Cancer after we went to my nephew’s basketball game.
We even let her stay the night at a friends house for the night and we picked her up from there to head to the game so she could have her fun with her friend.
My SS has been living with us since he was 12. It has always been difficult and I believe he is a narcissist. He doesn't respect me... That als how it feels but I want to know if I am overreacting...... He does not eat vegetables so I always seperate his food for him. Last night as many other nights as he is never consistent... He had his food and didn't come say thank you. I made dessert and he took without asking.... He never asks... He just takes...
So basically I just had a conversation with SO about how his kids (8,10 and 11 all boys) feel about me (we've been together 3 years) , he asked them how they find me and they basically just said "she is ok". He asked more questions so they could open up and they said I cook for them and I sometimes ask them few questions about their day and that's it.
Don't even know where to start. Does anyone have any advice when adult children reenter their father's lives? We've been estranged for more than 8 years. It's a horrible story. Need some encourgement before I can divulge more, I'm so disgusted.

Hi everyone I'm new here and have a relationship/children question. So very long story. I'm in a relationship with a man who had left his wife but not officially separated via proper procedures. We have been friends for a very long time. It became romantic. His soon to be ex has told his children he cheated. She has given the 9 and 12 year old a complete run down of what he did. And yes he was absolutely wrong. He has gone back a few times because he was guilt ridden about leaving the kids. He was trying to maintain this relationship with me and fix things w his kids.
Woo hoo!
Knock on wood the written offer, CBC, and on boarding all go well. They should. Unless some unrecognized alter ego surfaces. Which might be interesting.
Not great from a base (~30% low)... but incredible variable comp and more than doubles our current marital income. It also lets us stay where we are and continue to keep the focus on DW's career.
