She calls my DH at 5:30 numerous times to say their daughter is unresponsive in the ER with a 103 fever. Me, the detective that I am noticed that she was online on the computer, so I (or should I say my alternate other...a guy profile I have) decided to chat with her. This whole time she is texting him that she is at the ER. So, I think ok, maybe the er was through and she's back at home. Called the hospital, they live in a small town, only one hospital around, and they haven't had anyone in the emergency room all morning.
Why would she lie?
I am at the point now where tension is so thick in this house. That's right, it's just a house that I live in, it is not my home. How sad. I am just so sick of everything that has to do with step-parenting and step-kids and bitchy ex-wife/bio-mom that doesn't really do anything for her own kids... I am upset, angry, bitter, and I feel like an angry old lady all the time, and I'm only 21!! Aren't I supposed to be enjoying my life, no matter what age I am, but especially now, as a newlywed and as a new mother?! It just drives me nuts!!! My husband does not have my happiness in mind at all.

Hello, this is my first entry. We have a daughter together that is 6, I have a daughter 16, and he has a daughter 16. No matter what happens it is always my fault. About a year ago, his daughter had made some comments about our 6 year old daughter, and me and her got into it. Well everything was my fault, I had to leave. I left for a few months then came back. Now here recently she moved back in with her mom and stayed there about 6 months and then came back here to live with us. A few nights ago, his daughter was mad at my daughter over a boy.
OKay so clearly I literally knew he had kids...but I am asking people to consider this...Has the relationship with the kids changed since you met your spouse....let me elaborate..
The tired and frustrated single mom places a classified ad. "Step Father wanted for my family."
She receives 800 pieces of mail the next day from Steps offering their DH (most with step kids included).

DH met with BM and her lawyer yesterday to work out the logistics of the custody modification.
Dearest boyfriend said to me last night that the other of his two sons have asked him what he is going to do about the alcoholic gambler... Like he can physically *make* him do anything.... Id like to know what their mother would say, in fact Id like for their mother to do anything other than call and say she wishes she could help but shes *so* far away she feels helpess... It was her choice to leave, nobody elses.
When I stepped into this chat room I had no idea what I was getting into, but I am definately glad I did. There is so much support that I know has helped me through a few tough times. I wish I would have found it sooner. I consider myself a strong person. Opinionated, tough and rough, but nothing has ever prepared my for the roll of stepmotherhood. I wanted to put my story out there cause I'm sure some of you are going WHAT?, WHO IS THIS? So here it goes. My DH and I dated since Oct. 2004 married since Feb. 2006. I was married before for 8 yrs to a turd whom I didn't love.
I don't pretend for a second that there is anything unique, special, categorical, etc. about my little tale of woe. I also don't imagine that, living in my beautiful two story house and driving my SUV, that I have it half as bad as say... a blind beggar in Bagdad.
BUT... for those of you out there who have survived the emotional upheaval and constant stress of living with ill-behaved, foul-tempered skids -- you will understand when I say, "The pain is REAL. The sense of grief is PROFOUND. The loss of control is OVERWHELMING. The dread of sitting down to dinner is POWERFUL."
