Does it ever get any better?

The resentment I have built up against my step children is driving me insane! Please, will I always feel this way?

Only if you let yourself feel that way. We don't have the power to change our situations...but we have the power to change how we react to those situations!!

Ask yourself where the resentment came from. Dive into your feelings and really get to the roots. Is it really a resentment at the kids...is it a resentment at BM manifesting itself to the kids because they are there and are part of her?

Only you have the power to change your feelings. It can change. You don't always have to feel this way. You may be able to look into your feelings alone...you may need counseling for an unbiased observer opinion. (Dont use friends or family...they are biased!)

You may have to do some work. Catch them being good and compliment them. Resolve to tell each one of them one good thing about them every day. Whatever works for you and your family/situation. All this while really diving into why you are resentful. It can change!!
