I have been with SO for about 5 years. Have been living with SO for 4 years. We have had his teenage son and daughter full time for pretty much the entire time. Their mother lives a few hours away and only sees them a few times a year. She is a piece of work. In the past, have told SO that while I don't expect his kids to really do anything for mother's day (since they are older), that I would appreciate at least being acknowledged by my SO for taking care of his kids, cooking, cleaning and dealing with all of their teenage drama.

I got alot off of my chest here yesterday, and I think that helped me to calm down last night when I had the "come to Jesus" talk with SD18. I told DH beforehand that he'd better support me in whatever I would say to SD that night and he said he was on board. I was calm, but explained to SD 18 that she moved back into our house with no intention of going back to school (she never registered for the January session) and hid that from us. I said that our expectations are that she either went to school full time or worked full time (she wanted to drop out of school and work 2 days a week).

I haven't blogged in ages, as things were good for a while. SD (then 17) moved out in the summer after graduation (long story, involves lots of bad decisions, lying, drama, conspiring with BM to lie to us) to live with her nasty boyfriend. Since then, life with DH has been wonderful. We haven't fought at all, and for the first time in 4 years, I believed that we would spend the rest of our lives together in relative peace.

I'm new here and have been reading everyone's blogs for the past couple of weeks - it's so nice to know that there are other people out there that share these experiences. Honestly, if I had found this website when I first met my BF, I think I would have fun for the hills right then and there (and would never regret it).
