Feeling like I'm drowning! VENT
I feel like I'm fighting a battle that no one understands! I am so tired of being told I'm not being a good enough "mom", tired of being told just because she's not your bio doesn't mean you can't be her mom (um yes, your sentence just contradicted itself!) and you just don't seem like you care enough about SD. OR my favorite, "your not going to treat SD differently then your bios are you?!
I'm so frustrated and lost on who to talk to or what I am even doing anymore. I want to be my own person still, not SD's step mom or constantly having conversations revolve around SD. I don't know if I should go to counseling, never talk to anyone, or just start drinking very heavily... mostly kidding. BLAH.
I am beyond frustrated, I really don't know what to do.
Im with ya...Im at a point
Im with ya...Im at a point right now that I feel that I can NEVER do enough to let the steps know how much you love them!! My SD is at the hospital giving birth to our first grandbaby..and where am I ..at home, of coarse!! WHY!! She DOES NOT want her bio mom to be there, and does not want to hurt her bio moms feelings by letting me be there (even though she wants me there). SO..her sister adn her friend are there with her. Why is being a step parent who cares SOO HARD!!!!
Right I completely
Right I completely understand! Like we are already doing twice the effort of the BM, yet are constantly criticized. What do you mean you need a day off from Skid?! don't you just love being around them 7 days a week?! AHHH!
I have raised her 4
I have raised her 4 children...and added 3 more in the last 10 years, and yet she sits in her apartment, not working, not paying cs, not bothering to come to the kids activities, I could go on forever. She is a complete martyr!!! I used to try to get along with her...for the good of the kids...NOW, I just deal with her as I HAVE TO!!! Never mind the fact that she TRIES to poison the kids against me, but who is she kidding...they are not stupid....they see!!! they know who is there for them!!! GGRRR!!! NOW IM KINDA MAD AT HER!!! Guess I better calm down!!
BTW..I quit my teacing career
BTW..I quit my teacing career when I married my sweet hubby so that I could be a mom and raise the kids. I gave up my career because she chose to be a deadbeat mom!!! Im not complaining...just stating a fact!!
