I've been home from work for the last two days, too sick to go to work but not sick enough to lie in bed. Spent most of my time reading on this site, pleased to see I'm not alone on a lot of our issues. Kinda discouraged that so many are finding step parenting this hard tho!
I'm in my second step parenting situation, the first one was so different that I'm flabbergasted at the vitriol I'm starting to feel towards my current SO's family and child. I never realized most step moms have it this hard. I guess the stars aligned for me the first time around. Yes there were problems but they were VERY minor compared to what I'm seeing this time. Maybe it's because the step child in my previous marriage was a boy? He was the same age as current SD when he moved in with us fulltime, and yes there were adjustment issues but nothing like this. I loved that boy like my own, and still do, though we grew apart after his dad left me. I didn't have a very good ending to the relationship with that spouse but for most of that marriage it felt like we were on the same page (well until he met his girlfriend, lol, that changed a few things!)
This time around I love my SO but starting to feel like we're just too different, maybe this just isn't do-able. That's why I'm here. I'm coming to realize my difficulties are probably less to do with my SD or SO's parents and more to do with the way SO's NOT handling things.
