Yes! This forum has helped me get back In touch with myself. We all want things to be happily ever after but then that front door opens and walks in a piece of your spouses past to remind us that they had another life and it failed. The step kids dont want us to be happy because they are not happy. They don't feel like princes and princesses and certainly don't want you to be king or queen. You're treated as a outsider in your own home and feel like they question you," why does she or he get a new latest invention, clothes, etc." you're a nuisance because before you they got all the attention. If you wasn't there they would get more money spent on them or maybe if you wasn't there there that their biological other parent would have a chance and they all could be happy. What a big test in life. We find someone we want to be with that makes us feel like their equal then they lay things on our lap to sort out for them out of love. Then if we do opposite we're made to feel quilty for not making their kid feel welcome so we don't love them. What a crock of bs being a step parent.
I couldn't agree more, I stumbled onto this site by goggling a not so nice search about being a step parent. It's a liberating feeling to know I wasn't the only one who felt the way I do. I was hurting inside so much about how I felt but now I feel so much better about my situation. I hope you do too!
