The Step Daughter keeping first Grandson Away...

busyw3's picture

If you read my last blog you would have seen how many problems we are having with our kids.. We just received a letter from his daughter telling us how she is still hurt and angry... mind you this letter is to my husband and not to the two of us... She also put in this letter how she feels she must keep his grandson away from him for protection.. This is so sickening, I have been with my husband for 8 years and these two kids of his blame me for not having a relationship with their dad.. I have never stopped them.. I am not that kind of person.. they themselves have created the problems..

Hubby and Step Daughter Fight

Hey Guys,
This is my first time posting and I am glad there is a place like this for us.
I am 28 and hubby is 35. We got custody of his 14 year old daughter a year and a half ago. She's over all an ok kid and her and I get along good. She has her moments (like every teenager) but it's nothing a good talk won't fix.

I can't believe this site! :)

I have only registered with this site today, and I am so please that I have done. This morning (UK Time) I felt alone and was crying my heart out with dealing with a BF and SD12. I have literally read this site from this morning and now feel as though I am part of a bigger thing and that I am not alone at all, I am NORMAL for having the feelings that I do in my situation. I feel calmer than what I have done in the past couple of months and feel I can actually cope with seeing my BF and SD together tonight. Thank you so much for a wonderful site!

Long week already!

Since the the therapy on Monday, I am still festering. After DH going on about the decorating and my inability to allow him to have a say, which is bullsh... I have barely spoken to him. Also, since I get attacked anytime I point out anything about SD13, I have barely spoken to the kid. What is the point, if everything I do is seen as hostile to her. So I spend a lot of time in my office or my room. He however watches 3 hours of TV with her in the same Family room that he won't let me re-deocrate. Every night that they are here, it is all her.

Should you and your new husband put child support in your joint account

Hi. I have a question and hopefully someone out there has the same issue.

My ex-husband pays child support and my husband now says we should put it in our joint account.

Should we have a separate account just for the kids?

What do you do --- Stay or call it quits??

I don't have many people to talk to about this and sometimes you just need opinions from people who deal with the same issues. So here it goes.....This is our second marriage. I have been married for 7 years now and I have been seriously thinking about calling it quits due to 2 issues. The first issue is the stepdaughter and the second one is how needy my wife is. The wife has no friends that she goes out with and wants it to be just me all the time. It is like I am a substitute for her daughter. She is also bad with money. I save and have a plan to pay off bills, she just wings it.

Can never wait till the weekends are over!

Haven't been on in a WHILE! But it seems lately that everything that comes out of my SS7's mouth makes a wave of anger go through me on a daily basis. Now what I have noticed SS5 is now repeating what he says.

Tell me if I am crazy, but here are some examples of things this child has said that make me see red!

1.)I was watching discovery channel and a man had gotten bitten by a snake, SS7 is allowed to watch PG, which it was, but I was the one watching T.V. and he came and sat next to me.

Really desperately need to vent.

I just joined 2 minutes ago but I need to vent now. I'm at the end of my tether and my DH is too.
I've been an SM for 18 months, I have 2 SD's, 10 and 12 years old.

My SD's BM was remarried when I met my DH. She was instantly hostile when she first heard about me but the real problems began when she discovered that I was moving in. It's been 18 months of sheer hell. False accusations have been made to our friends and family, to lawyers, the police and child services. Although the problems began when to get worse when I moved in most of the hostility is directed at DH.

like watching ground hog day...
