I've haven't been here in a long time but I need to vent. Almost 2 years ago my mom was dying and in hospice. Dh choose to have EXTRA visitation with his kids instead of holding my hand and my kids hands while we dealt with momma. I did it on my own with my kids and we made it through. My momma died while we were there. I have tried to forgive dh but I can't seem to. Right after my mom passed he accepted a transfer to be closer to his kids. I did move with him and we have partial custody of his psycho children. My step daughter writes books with my son's name being a person who kills or is killed and her bm paid to have one of them made into a real book. Sd brought a copy to dh yesterday. Dh acted so proud of her and I am ready to rip his damn head off. I think it's time to end this. I can't do this anymore. I don't want to. I can't forgive him for not being there when I needed him and now this. I burned the book outside after they went to bed last night and I am not sorry I did it.

Whoa!! Her skid wrote a book about her stepbrother getting killed or killing someone, and you think she's jealous? I haven't read her past blogs so I don't know any backstory, but I would have burned the book too. Writing a book IS something to be proud of but writing it in a malicious way, nope.

I think you acted out, but I probably would've done the same...

The biggest issue you have is not forgiving DH, not being with you at your Mum's death bed, and honestly I would not blame my SO, it all depends on the relationship they had.... SO has no relationship what so ever with my parents...

Then for SD using your son's name... it's just a name... it's not your son.

Would have done the same. Passive aggressive to the max...with bm encouragement of negativity. Burn baby burn.

My sister once wrote a story that involved me running from a killer, only to be caught and killed by "having my head stomped on multiple times until it was deformed and unrecognizable"

So yeah... that happened... and we're still best friends to this day haha

Doesn't matter what you did to the book. You sound like you are done and are ready to move to a different chapter. I see no reason not to support that.

I understand your frustration and one reason I stopped coming to this site is because of some of the comments. This used to be a site where stepmoms could VENT. Now you have people jumping on your for expressing your opinion. That's not right. If you can't say anything supportive, please don't comment. Step mothers have enough bullshit to deal with and this is supposed to be a place to speak our minds and not be judged.
