I feel abandoned and 2nd rate (very long)

Chariste's picture

I have been losing my mind over my stepkids. But the real problem is my husband and his ex-wife. I married my husband 2 years ago but we have been togther 5. He suffers a lot of guilt over leaving his children behind when he divorced the crazy b**** but he couldn't take her insanity any longer. One of the children, the 12 yr old eldest, isn't even biologically his but he has raised him from the age of 18 months and considers him his, a fact that I deeply respect him for. His BS is now 8.

Just got to my new place.

Thank you very much for being so supportive. It means so much to me..
I'm a mess today. Well, I'm trying to fight my anger.
I was almost out of the door when he showed up with bunch of friends. Only thing he said, "So you are leaving?" I said, that I am.
He didn't even say anything and just went right inside of the house.
I can't believe him. Oh well, actually that reenforcing me to concentrate on myself even more.
I'm young, happy, educated and ambitious. I can't believe that this is all I've got for two years of accommodation of his lifestyle.

I cant begin to tell you how spoiled rotten this teenager is. Everything & anything he wants he gets including going to a big waterpark twice this week..even tho DH was working this whole week. I figured out why DH spoils him rotten. BM kept calling every hour wanting SS returned home. DH spoils him to make sure he will want to stay here instead of go back to BM. This way DH proves to BM he is not such a bad guy afterall. I kept up with my life doin all the things that I need to do for myself this week.

Just update

I told BF that I'm done, and tomorrow I'm moving out.
He said that I gave up on him and his kids.
OH, well. I let him think that way. My heart is broken. I love him so much. I really do. But I can't live this life any more. I can't live for his kids who don't even respect me. I'm tired of being stranger in my own house. It took me a year of living together to realize that I can't. I want my own family.

crazy things psycho BM does

bookgirl's picture

I thought it would be fun to list some crazy things BM has done...
1-right before DH & I met she took his truck (she was the primary loan holder & they'd only separated at that point). After we'd dated for a month she decided she couldn't make the truck payments so she gave it back & took her car back. She left a used pregnancy test in the truck (gross) & told DH she'd thought that maybe she was pregnant with his child (test was negative). So she'd moved her boyfriend she'd been sleeping with in the day after DH moved out...

CS and Joint Custody

YngStpMom24's picture

I have two step children a 8 SS and a 11 SD. We have the children every Wednesday and every other weekend. During the Summer we have them every other Week (she takes them one day on our week), and then on her week we take them Wednesday and Thursday. Bio Mom gets 200.00 per week, and we also carry medical and dental insurance. This was set up through their divorce. We pay for all sports, dance classes, etc. We also have a room for each of them toys, clothes, etc. We have been together for five years biomom never wants the kids on holidays not even Christmas it just blows my mind.

1 on 1 alone girl time but with lil bro wanting my attention too, what am I to do. I knw they both miss me being at home with them but we need the income.

I just can't stand when she becomes disruptive to our home environment via her tempermental tantrums.

I knw she also has hormonal issues to deal with but she is just really pushin her dads buttons today!
