Im reading through "stepmonster". Trying to attain a shift so that the marriage will be less stressful, I will be less stressed and angry. Resulting in husband being less stressed and angry.

Things are shifting but slowly. I poke here and there, but more try to understand and make myself understood.

I dont know if this even makes much sense.

I'm starting to feel better about dealing with having a stepfamily. Between reading Stepmonster and recognizing alot of dynamics that are common to stepfamilies that I'm dealing with, venting and reading on this site, and semi disengaging I'm starting to feel happier. I'm so grateful to have found this site. Stepfamily information just isn't easy to find like parenting and relationship information is.
