Hi I found this place when I was in search of some sanity. Really I was trying to find out if my unwanted dislike of my step daughter was normal. My story? It's crazy. I got pregnant with my boyfriends kid about 7 months after we met. When I was 8 months pregnant we found out he had an 11 month old from some random girl he went home from a bar with. We did paternity test and she is his. We accepted her into our family. Only my bf has loads of guilt for not being involved in this childs life sooner. The childs mother is beyond bizarre. Asking me to share my bf with her. My boyfriend clearly favors this other child now. But she annoys me. She severely lacks intelligence. It's like shes blank void of thought and personality. Meanwhile my daughter thrives. Full of life and personality but my bf is to conncentraited trying to make up for lost time with this other kid to notice. She can't seem to do anything. It's like her weird mother has done nothing with her. I can't hide my feelings anymore. Its eating me up. These strangers came and stole my family. This child follows him everywhere and cries about everything. She's 2 now and can't speak a word. I just wish this didn't happen. I'm glad to see there's other step parents facing the same difficulties and I'm not alone
