Day 13

I do not know my place.I don't feel like I am part of the family. Is it wrong that I feel a sense of disgust when I have to hear or see him? I'm trying the whole not saying anything but it's so hard. I'm expecting results NOW and not later. I'm off work tomorrow. Maybe I can get a break!

has your husband recently received custody? i don't understand why you are the child's primary care-taker? is this something short-term? i guess i don't understand the numbering of the days. sorry.

No. He has had custody this whole time, he just lived with his parents who took care of SS. I recently moved into an apartment so that's the numbering of days! Sorry it's so confusing.

Welcome to what it is to be a stepmother, Amy. Damned if you do, damned if you don't...

Do something that makes you happy on your day off. Don't hang too much on ever getting results from DH and SS. Maybe you will someday, but you won't be disappointed if you don't. If you do, it will be a pleasant surprise.

Wish I could say there was peace, joy and happiness for you all as a 'blended family' at the end of this tunnel, but that wasn't the case for me. Two and a half years with very little in the way of results. When I finally gave up on them and focused on me, results were relatively instant if not miraculous. I had felt so ill and drained so much. Now at least I have my strength and health back. My days seem a bit empty and lonely sometimes, but not so much it's worth going back to being controlled by an uncaring (about anyone but his son), ungrateful man and his entitled tyrant of a son. I'm healthier and overall happier, though happiness is something I could work on a bit more diligently.

Take care of yourself. (huggs)
