I will try to keep this short and provide details. I really just need a place to vent. Let me start by saying I'm transgender. (Please no negatively on this). I met my wife 3 years ago and we moved along very fast. With in 6 months of dating we got engaged and married shortly after. I have a great relationship with my two younger kids. They both loved me from the start. My oldest step daughter is 21. Let me also state my wife and I have a 13 year age difference. She is 43 and I'm 30. At first K(oldest)  liked me. Loved that I make her mom happy and I'm there for her siblings.

I need respite. I need a break from all of the ugliness SD18, her Mother, and MIL.  I feel like it is impossible to get one.  Almost like they take turns having a go at me. 

SD18 moved out a couple months ago. Our home has been peaceful. My stress level has diminished. I quit feeling like a prisoner in my own home but something was still missing. Closure from the years of mental abuse that she has put me through or I should say that I allowed her to put me through. Couple days ago she came over to our home to do her laundry all while have a mental episode because her father wouldn't let her use his vehicle (long story short she has proven she is not responsible enough to drive).

I am so excited to have found this site.  It has been a long road for my husband and I and I appreciate all input.  I am at my wit's end with my SD and am scared it might be the end of my marriage.  In brief, we have been married for 4 years - together for 5. My husband moved into my home - I was single for 5 years and had my home and cars.
