I just wanted to wish you all a very happy Thanksgiving with your loved ones (or "live'in"s, whether you love them or not!)

Thank you all for your recent support and help with my situations, and I hope that you all each get at least a peaceful day out of your Thanksgiving.

I am thankful for....all of you!

I feel stabbed in the back by DH and SD...what do I do about it?

For the past 3 years, we took my SD skiing for the weekend each winter. It is an expensive trip between the top price seasonal lodging, travel costs, $65-70/day per ticket, eating out, etc. My SD was so mean and rude. She complained the whole day, yelled at DH and myself, threw a fit at the restaurant for no reason, refused to go to bed at night, kicked the door of our hotel over and over, etc. It was a nightmare. So, finally, after three straight years of this crap, DH and I told my SD that she lost the privilege to go this year on our annual weekend trip.

I'm ready to leave..how to file?

I think its finally rolling up in to a tragic ending for my husband and I. My heart is broken, but I can't do this forever. I don't know what to do or how to work through this horribly painful process.
We own a business together...wow, what to do about that?
Legal advice?
How can I get through this?
I don't know if I can take this stress. Personal advice for strength?

HOW DO YOU FIND THE STRENGTH-TO STAY OR GO?

Hi everyone. This is a lengthy message. Thanks for listening. I wrote once before about my situation. I'm 28, first marriage, no kids of my own, my husband's second marriage, one SD - 10yrs. I love my husband more than anything in the world, but I'm so scared of the future. I really want kids and he wants more too. But, I'm afraid to have children with him because his ex is such a stress in our lives and his daughter is like a "mini me" of her mother so often. They are both very untruthful people, and there are court orders against the BM.

Looking for guidance, please!

When do you leave or stay? Can this work?

My name is Christina. I am brand new to this site, or really any site about being a step mom for that matter. I'm starting a bit late....I'm ready to leave somedays, and your words seem pretty smart, like you truly understand. I've been lost, depressed, empty, and this has been building for a while. I'm only 28 and have no bio children of my own, so it's hard to deal with someone else's very untruthful daughter and ex-wife, and a husband who refuses to see things clearly. I love him so much, but need so much help. I'm so hurt and confused.
