Im so sad all of time and feel like I no longer matter to my husband.
I have posted on here before, and have taken everyone's advice and have tried to apply it to my situation. But sometimes I just feel like it is too late for me, the damage is already done in my relationship.
I feel like my SD has succeeded in driving a wedge between my husband and I, although I really don't think she means too. It is mostly my husbands behavior that causes this.
My husband and I have not been out together in 3 years. It's shocking for me to type this. I don't know how we have gotten to this bad place but it happened slowly and I take part of the blame.
"Daddy" is my SD's only friend---what is going on and how can I help her?
What do you do when your SD's only friend is your husband? She is in junior high now, so I thought by this time she would start to make some friends. I feel sorry for her and I am starting to get annoyed how clingy she is to my husband honestly. I always ask her if she wants to have friends over, but she doesn't seem interested at all.
Need advice-Grandpa's new Girlfriend
Mostly I come on here to vent about my SD, but this time I have a different issue. Last November, my beloved grandma passed away from cancer. My siblings and I were all very close with her, and will still all miss her very much. Over the summer, my grandpa started dating a woman that was a friend of my grandmas for a long time. Her husband had recently passed away too. I have actually known her since I've been a child, and actually remember going with my grandparents to her and her husbands farm on a few occasions.

Im on a role today--ever notice when Sk is gone that you and SO never fight? (or fight less)
It seems like the only time my DH and I fight or argue is when SD is over with her bad attitude that creates tension in the household. I have kept track, and seriously it is every time, and she is always sitting on the couch texting with her iphone and a little smirk of satisfation on her face. Im just really in a venting kind of mood today.........

Germy Stepkids!
I know, all kids are germy, but I thought at 12 years old my stepdaughter would start to get better with A) Keeping her hands out of her mouth and 
Handwashing, esp after using the bathroom. I have to CONSTANTLY remind her to wash her hands when she gets home from school. It's maddening.

What is your worst fear when it comes to SK's? Mine is that she will NEVER leave....
I know a lot of us look forward to the day when the stepkids will finally venture out on their own---and out of our house. Although I do feel guilty about this, I find myself dreaming of the day when SD goes away to college, or hoping that maybe BM will move far far away and take little miss drama with her. But, there is this nagging fear that she will never want to leave "Daddys" side, esp because she has this constant fear that he will love our daughter more than her if she lets him out of her sight.
We are ALL fed up with SD's behavior (myself, DH, BM and Stepdad) Advice needed.
It's me again with my 12 year old SD! If you are getting bored of me and my venting (LOL) please do not read on. I am somewhat relieved that everyone is starting to see my SD's poor attitude that I have been noticing now forever. Now, before you chalk it up to a 12 year old just being a 12 year old, I know this isn't true because her older sister did not act this way from my discussions with BM.
Help! I feel like Stepdaughter is a mean person, or is it really just "her age."
Right now, I am dealing with my 2 month old colicky daughter (who I love very much), and my very snotty 12 year old stepdaughter that I feel is highly manipulative and mean. I feel bad, although I do care for her in my own way, I don't "like" her right now.
SD 12 becoming increasingly clingy to her Dad
Ever since I have become pregnant, my SD's behavior has become increasingly unpredictable and annoying. At first, I felt sorry for her, but now I am just becoming increasingly annoyed. This may be mostly because I am eight months pregnant and my patience is a little thinner these days.

SD's attitude starting to make me extremely resentful and angry
If you have read my other blog entry, I am SM to a 12 year old girl who has become increasingly distant every since my pregnancy. Sometimes, it's almost like she pretends that Im not even there. Short summary, I have been in her life since she was 5. I thought that we had a good relationship. I am currently 20 weeks pregnant.
