This is just a curious question as it is something that DH and I have semi argued about. Has anyone started taking medication, i.e., anti-depressants, anti-anxiety medication since becoming a step-mom?

I just sent this to XBF who wants to talk now. What do you think? I feel like he needs to educate himself a bit even if it doesn't turn out to be for me, maybe I can save the next one. Or maybe a miracle happens and the love of my life pulls his head out. Who knows? Can't hurt, might help!
Over the 13 yrs I have been with my husband, there have been many incidents where I have to be around his psycho bi-polar EX wife and each time, she goes out of her way to cause problems. I try to ignore them but it's no use. Everyone agrees the EX behavior is inappropriate, crazy and plain wrong, but no one will EVER call her on it for fear of creating a "scene". Case in point: 11 yrs ago my husband's grandmother passed away. He wanted me to attend the funeral with him. Of course I did even though I had only met his grandmother 2 times. The EX arrived with the step kids.
SD came home the next night. Should have seen the smirk on her face when she walked in the door. The reason she left....was because her dad and her had a conversation that morning before he left for work. She was telling him that she was going to have this guy come and pick her up and they were going to a hockey game....the rule always has been that we meet any friends before they do stuff with them. He told her no, because he had not met this "boy" yet, and he would be at work. That is why she got pissed and left.
Over a boy.
Yet again BM called the cops when we went to meet her and pick the kids up on New years eve day. She called the cops to inspect our carseats (the ones we've had for 6 months) because she doesn't think their "proper" and wanted to have our vehicle insepected and oh yea...because shes a psycho! This is the 6th time in one year that shes called the police on us for BS reasons. Im worried that SD5 and SS4 are learning that its okay to call and waste the police officers' time for any old reason.
When I marry my fiance in September, do I automatically become a legal guardian to his children? He has joint custody with the ex and she says I don't and never will have any legal rights when it comes to the kids. Im just trying to arm myself with correct information. Thanks to anyone who can answer 
OK this is for a couple reasons since I am new I thought I would give a little quick hi and a little background. I am a BM and SM I have 4 BD and one SS. Now we are not married yet but will be soon. I have to rewind a bit. I had bought and made plans to go a to local theme park over the summer all the kids were excited. Well SS BM started crap the day before, now mind you SS is 10 is on only child at his home and pretty much does whatever the hell he wants to with little correction from his mom and has a cell phone. OK so he calls his mom tells him he is hungry blah blah blah.
I just got nails as a gift and I am having a tough time with them! SOOO since skids have been here they have noticed and have been taking over for me. I will try to open something to try to do something and it really frustrates me. So before I get to that point if they are walking by and notice they will do it for me.
This is awesome! I could have used knowing about this site 1.5 years ago, when I moved in with my Fiance!!! We've been through so many ups and downs. The good news is, we haven't lost each other in the process. We have 4 daughters between us. Mine is the oldest, at 31 years old. He has a 21, 19 and 16 year old. I don't have to spend much time figuring out why they are angry with both of us.
I am so happy I found a place to let it out! You guys have step-kids that are little kids...my are 21 years old and 17 years and I dislike them sometimes. My husband and I have a six and one year together. I have three other kids that are not his. When it's just me and my kids we're happy. He's always getting calls from his ex and his mother(B@#%*)from hell. The kids are mad at you, because you don't make time for them only for your other family. We are very busy at times but when he calls them they never want to come over and they never answer his calls.
