Miscarriage with stepchildren
Forums:
How have you guys managed to get through having a miscarriage with stepchildren about? I'm feeling very sad and having SD over is just starting to make me feel a lot of resentment and additional sadness, bitterness and regret.
I am so sorry.
I am so sorry. I did not miscarry when I had stepchildren but I had several miscarriages previously. I am very familiar with the feelings that come with raising another woman's children while having none of your own. There are several other members who are childless not by choice. You are among friends who will understand how you feel now. Sending you hugs and good wishes for healing.
My heartfelt condolences
I am also very sorry for your loss. Miscarriage is hard no matter what your circumstances.
I hope that you have support from your partner and others.
Have DH handle his visitation
Have DH handle his visitation away from home while you are grieving. He needs to be more considerate of your feelings.
I'm so sorry you're going through this.
I am so sorry for your loss.
I am so sorry for your loss.
I agree with visitation being out of the house primarily for a little while. It isn't forever but I can't imagine going through that and having to pretend like anything in the world is ok.
I am sorry for your loss.
I am sorry for your loss.
Take care of you.
I am so sorry you are going
I am so sorry you are going through this.
I had an ectopic pregnancy a little over a year ago. It was a very emotional time for me. I felt so many emotions. You need to do what you feel is right for you and will help you heal, and make those needs known.
I had a miscarriage about six
I had a miscarriage about six months ago, and have a step daughter. I'm sorry for your loss. I think journaling helps and letting yourself feel all your feelings and than letting them go.
Work on your feelings of resentment towards your step daughter. The loss isn't her fault. Trust and have faith you will have another, I am currently pregnant again. Take care of yourself and if you need time alone perfectly a okay
I'm sorry you're going
I'm sorry you're going through that, it's tough. I had to deal with 4 back-to-back miscarriages while dealing with the worst of the drama we've had with SD and BM. Do what you feel is right for you in getting through the grief, and make sure DH supports you in that. It gets better I promise x
I recently miscarried end of jan this year (so just 3 months ago
we had just moved into our new home in my country barely 2 days and my daughter was about to start kindergarten several days later.
I never got to cry it out and feel sad or mourn the loss, i felt like i had to suck it up. I don’t think my husband told skids we were expecting as he only tells them when i’m mid way through pregnancy.
whether skids know or not I couldn’t care less. I feel since my miscarriage and then coronavirus outbreak happened right after, i feel more firm with my husband of not tolerating crap skid behaviour and thats not a negotiable thing for me to suck it up and so-called give skids another chance to be better people when they’ve had plenty of chances...
Since my skids are overseas, i’m just worrying about me for now, when the time comes to fly back to hubbys country once flights open, i will evaluate then
I remember just before flights got cancelled from coronavirus, i was meant to fly back to hubby, i had told my husband I wasn’t in the mood to fly back an have his adult son treat me like shit anymore and since my husband has selective memory loss and turns a blind eye, that it was pointless flying back to my husbands country...
i felt there were more urgent things to deal with in my country
just remember, statistically 1 in 4 pregnancies result in a miscarriage, no explanation or medical complication to explain it but it just happens.
When my dad was told that i miscarried since he knew i was pregnant, he told me it was my fault i miscarried, because i was doing too many errands settling the usual documentation when you move house and buying furniture and appliances etc...i lost it with my dad how out of line he was and he continued to repeat his same bullshit with a more condescending tone.
about 2 months after my miscarriage it was a really bad day, while i was having a shower my daughter was playing roughly and banged into the glass window which cracked, my dad got so aggro at my kids because i was doing a flea treatment for the cats and he shouted at me and got to a real abusive kind of state with so much anger like he was gonna hit my kids. I just broke down that evening and cried for 2 hours...
i finally felt so alone dealing with this and since my husband works essential services and is stuck in his country due to no flights, i find my patience right now is not very high...
its ok to cry in private and talk it through with your husband, mine new i had alot of stresses and that i had to deal with so much on my own but he also admitted he didn’t know how to handle me being upset from the miscarriage because he’s upset hurting or upsetting me more so i vent what i need to
This sounds very scary and
This sounds very scary and would make me feel even sadder. I’m sorry for your loss too, I hope you can take your kids someplace you feel safe where you won’t get berated soon. I guess i appreciate the perspective, you’re dealing with the same things but in a much worse home environment. I hope you have people to talk to also and that things don’t get worse for you while this virus gets sorted out.
Yeah the pandemic has already screwed up 2 trips we had
booked for me and hubby to visit one another and by the time we expect flights to open up and no quarrantine in hotel restrictions it could be a few more months time.
that day i broke down and just cried in the dark corner of my bedroom, my 4 yr old daughter saw me and kept rubbing her hands on me because she knew i wasn’t in a really good place..
my dad has always been an inconsiderate and aggro kind of person and blows up for no reason other than he has a hot temper..that day was more than i could take and it suck that this will be the 2nd year that me, my kids with hubby and hubby don’t spend religious holidays together.
on the upside, my country has banned non essential family members from visiting meaning skids wouldn’t be allowed in my country, only hubby. So we are just waiting for flights to go back to normal. My state has had 3 days in a row no new cases of coronavirus
the pandemic has just made people put things into perspective more, i know my husband has been calling his almost 22 yr old son as being lazy, immature and disrespectful because hubby has really felt what i have dealt with all these years. Before hubby was at work when ss shunned me and made home environment so hostile... now hubby is feeling that and we are a 5.5 hour flight away overseas separated by an ocean...
I am so sorry to hear that

I Understand
I'm so sorry for your loss. I do understand what you are going through. I miscarried a year ago, in April. My stepson was oblivious to what a big deal that is and said some very inconsiderate things. One day, I can't even remember what led up to this comment, but he goes, "At least I didn't have a miscarriage." His dad did reprimand him for that, but he had no idea how wrong that was and what I was going through.
It helped me to talk about it with friends who had gone through the same thing. I did avoid my stepson quite a bit. Eventually, over time, I felt more like myself and could handle being in the company of my stepson.
My SO and I kept trying and we did get pregnant again in July and that sweet rainbow baby was born a month ago.
No baby can replace the one you lost. You will always have that hole in your heart, but it hurts less as time goes by. Keep trying. Don't lose faith.
I don't know if this helps at all, but just remember that you are not alone.
