Whatever SD and H!!!
Wish I had found step talk 2 years ago. In the last week I have recovered my self esteem, realised I am not in need of a mental health team and read that my problems are are a worldwide step mum problem. I have now got myself a counsellor ( for me only) and am feling strong again. There are improvements in my marriage. But if they don't last I know I will be ok. Don't know yet what my future holds but whatever it is thank you, thank you for the advice, support and general ass kicking that you have all given me. Good luck to you all and I will still be blogging and reading so I don't lose my will again.

I have a lot of trouble asserting myself, and this site has helped me get the confidence to do that more Being assertive, not resentful and combative is so important.

In just a week I feel a little like my old self. I've had to step back from my H a little but I feel as if wether I stay or go now it is my choice either way. I am losing the aggressive resentful me. I can't change him but I can change me and they may well be enough.
