I'm angry and resentful all the time....how can I change these feelings

angel77's picture

Hi,
I think I need some advice. My partner and I recently went away on a romantic holiday and it was wonderful and relaxing and we had a great time.
The past year has been very stressful, especially for me as my b/f son (14yrs) suddenly came to permanently live with us.It's been a massive adjustment so I thought a lovely holiday would be the perfect thing we needed in our relationship.And it was.Until we got home and reality began to kick in once again.
I feel the resentment and anger toward my ss14 and I constantly feel tense and anxious again.

My issue with my husband is he make around 30000 a year and we have 4000.00 in bills and month child care is 800.00 alone. I made around 80000 a year and I recently lost my job.

Hello, I'm 33 yrs old and have no kids of my own. I have been with my husband for 5 yrs (he is a really nice guy). He has 2 girls which we see every other weekend ages 9 and 11. The oldest seems not to like me. Actually she seems quite indifferent about my presence. Its been this way for a while. When she was around 8 yrs old she made it a point to bring me a an old pic of her mom and dad when they were still married and together. Needless to say, it was awkward for me.

SS and Half Sister - Here's a little more info to consider

Thanks for writing in. It helps to hear a variety of opinions from strangers even if some of them were a little tough to read. It helps to put things into perspective.
My DH was married for over 20 years and I was his only affair. I completely agree that only the two people in the marriage know why it ends - when it ends. I certainly don't know why he and I ended up together after knowing each other for many years (at work). Neither of us saw it coming before it happened.

So many issues...where does one start?

I just discovered this website today, and like many of you, just need a place to vent and get some advice from some people who are (maybe) going through the same thing that I am. Sometimes I feel like I am going through stuff that no one else is going through, and that the issues are never going to be resolved and are just endless.

I read the blog where the poster's two SSs refused to meet their half sister

and the commentary beneath it.

That blog really struck me because of my own situation. As you know, my dad cheated on my mom with my stepmother. My parents got divorced for several reasons, but my dad's affair was the icing on the cake, so to speak.

SMJen and Brandy, you both made commentary that really stuck with me.

My BF's daughter got a cell phone last week and all was good...until yesterday. Nothing was said to my BF that he would have to pay for half of the monthly bill so he thought that BM would be paying for it. Oh! Not so! This was yesterday...

BF, SD8 and myself are sitting at the dining table having dinner:
