First post here and maybe looking for a little push. I have been married for 7 years. My husband is 12 years older with (4) kids from previous marriage (19)sd, (17)sd, (12)ss, 10sd and we have (2) together (7)ds, (5)dd . He doesn't have a healthy relationship with alcohol and sometimes goes on binges maybe once every 2 months.

I've been married for a year and a half.  He has 4 kids and I have 3. From day one he has always been sneaking around behind my back talking to BM which I finally got him to stop. It still bugs me because I feel like I cannot trust him. And it is from more than just that. A lot of lies and him being sneaky. After so many lies, how do you trust someone? I cannot stand when his kids come over. I miss being just me and my kids. Does it get better? It is worth leaving? I am just not happy even though he has gotten better in many ways.

My husband and I have been married for 15 years and together for 18.  He has a 21 year old from a previous marriage and has only seen her twice since she as 2.  The BM is crazy and tried to cause too many legal issues, so it was better for him to just stay away from her.  In November, my SD21 was locked out of her mom and SD house.  She called my husbands mother, with whom she has had a relationship since she was around 13 or 14.   My husbands mom tired to hide this fact, but they live in a really small town.
