I have been a member of this site for a while now but it has been awhile since I have been on. I thought things would get better with my situation but they have not. I have been married to DH for a year and a half and we have been together 7years. He has 2 children to another woman and they were never married. in the beginning of our relationship things were good with this whole thng, but after a while got worse. I hate when they are around to the point it almost depresses me. I make plans with friends and family just so I don't have to be near them. Don't get me wrong- I have done thngs with them. And I have tried just even talking to them. SD is not so much a problem as SS is. She will talk whenever, where ever, which can get annoying at times. But SS and I have nothing in common and as I've said, I have tried even just talking. But they make no effort coming to me to even talk and I am over trying. DH asks every so often about the issue, but more or less leaves it alone, accepting that I have things to do when they come over. And to make matters worse, BM has began posting things about me on facebook about my "ignoring" my DH kids. As I said, i'm done trying because these are not small children we are talking about here. they can clearly live for themselves and come to me if they want, which they don't. I never want anythng to happen to DH and I, and we are even beginnng to try for our own child. I just look toward the day when they don't want to visit their dad as much anymore, which I also wonder at times why this hasn't happened yet since I didn't sleepover at my father's after turning 15 and gaining a new job and friends and other things to do. I am hoping that coming here will once again at least make me feel a little better about the whole situation. I hate feeling the way I do about them, even though it doesn't seem to affect anything about DH and my relationship. Please don't look down on me for feeling this way. It's just so hard!
