....Borderline Personality Disorder, the more I think we both are afflicted with it. Could this be that same feeling I get whenever I look up a bump online or in a medical journal and come to the conclusion I have Cancer or AIDS?? (that always happens, haha)
Enter symptoms,(types: bump on right arm) = Many bumps on right arms are found to be, (enter large latin word), and the precursor to AIDS.
OK, Please tell me you get my drift and that I am not the only one that is diagnosed with terrible diseases when I search my symptoms.

I posted a comment to your blog, but the comment section was getting SO long, I thought I would just post a new blog with my thoughts for you. We can be an intense bunch, so I hope you can hang-in there until you find what you need.
Here is what I had to say in my comment to you:
what i mean when you marrie into a family do you take on the role of a mom or dad as well
My guilt ridden sense of duty has been shelved for the time being. Those around me have taken notice, especially my sons who have enjoyed my undivided attention that is usual focused in numerous directions. I've angered my blended family though as I've stomped my own feet a little bit and refused to be my usual go-to girl self.
My stepdaughters have missed out on a couple of sporting events and sleepovers because of it.
Saturday night i had a message on my myspace asking me if i was shellbell from spfld,il i went ahead and responded "yes". Then I decide to see who the person was all it had was the first name, no picture i figured it was a girl i went to high school with as i don't know many people with that name. I went to her page it wasn't private (mine is) and couldn't figure out who she was it listed her living in MO and her birth place KS.
I think I have your life. My dh and skids are great-love them very much. The exwives (2 of them) are beasts. They are system-working, manipulative, lying, controlfreaks. And that is what their families think of them. Some times my heart just hurts because I think I made a mistake getting married. But I also can't think of me without them. My husband is very passive-no gray hair-me, well, I went gray after I met him very quickly. I feel I have lost me. I am angry, edgy, anxious, not the me I once was. Any words of advice from the seasoned veterans would be great.
I've been married to my DH for 2 years. 2 weeks after we got married, the BM took my DH to court to raise CS. My DH came home with his son, whom the BM said in court, she didn't want custody anymore. So I became an instant, overnight, full-time SM without any discussion or heads up! My SS came to live with us with literally the clothes on his back. Most of his life have been spent with an autistic uncle, playing video games and watching TV. Major behavior issues that still have not been corrected.
It has been an overwhelming experience and I’m going crazy. Ugh! There…I said it. I’m guilty of joining this site to feel better reading some of your stories and realizing…damn, I don’t have it so bad. This high felt good for a while but a year has gone by since I’ve joined and I’m still feeling that funky feeling of being a stepmom. I have the responsibility of dealing with a child that I’m not sure I want half the time. I’m at the point where I’m feeling like the traditional “wicked stepdad” from a fairytale. It’s a yucky feeling that consumes me more than anything.
Me and my wife are a great couple, exept with my son like all step family's we have our problems.
My problem is that my wife says my son is not her resposibility, and that she will not watch him and i am not to sure if that is true or not just looking for some other peoples opinions. I am sometimes am afraid to ask her because it will start an argument. Now, i realize that is not her son and i am ok with having my son babysate by my mom but it sucks when your wife refuses to watch your blood it feels like your being rejected as well.AM I WRONG FOR BEING UPSET
I love my husband and I recognize that what he has brought to my life is more that I would have ever dreamed of. But I didn't think I would be having these issues with my stepson. When my husband and I were dating, my SS was so well behaved and polite and I really didn't see much that would signal future problems.
Now, we are married 2 years and I fear living my life being afraid of my husband's ex. I don't want to live the rest of my life walking on egg shells when my SS is around for fear of how my husband's ex will use this against him and control my husband even more.
