7 years in and do NOT like my stepkids anymore

Between the constant trying to break us up,  bad behavior,  attitudes,  lack of any type of discipline or accountability by anyone other than ME (including BM and her NEW husband).... I'm over it.

I ceased wanting any sort of relationship with skids about late 2018 and that was a few months into meeting his daughters. Any weddings or engagements of family we went to, they'd dress in gothic black because me and my kids were around.

if we weren't around they dressed colourful, its their subtle way of telling dad they're mourning him marrying me and having 2 kids with me. Even my eldest sd guilted my husband with crocodile tears claiming he abandoned them to marry me and have 2 kids with me. That was when i ended and disengaged completely.

they were more than happy with bio mum marrying her affair hubby the week divorce was finalised in secret while skids were in school, they were more than happy to abandon contact with dad for 5 yrs then expect him to put his life on hold for them.

the fact their mum is a narc abusive cheating hoe and can never be in the same league as me and hubby despises bio mum is not my problem

i even had skids demand daddy take them on a fancy holiday during our 4th wedding anniversary weekend. Yes hubby was expected to ditch me at home with our 2 toddlers. Hubby actually messaged me from work, demand i book tickets and accommodations for all 3 skids to tag along our wedding anniversary celebration weekend when they have been nothing but rude or disrespectful.

i told hubby then and there i think we need to get divorced and i was booking a trip to Australia for a while on his credit card and he would likely be coming back from his trip with skids with divorce papers.

it was only then he realised how much deep shit he was in

I can so relate to the passive/aggressive SD shenanigans. DH begged, BEGGED, OSD to come to Thanksgiving Dinner at his families house with us. She said in her typical snotty tone "I'm not going if SHE's going." (meaning me) So ... DH was hurt but let her make her own decision to stay with BM. Fast forward ... DH's entire extended family is all sitting down together to T-giving dinner ... OSD calls in on her cell phone ... Aunt puts her on speaker phone so everyone can say "hello" to SD. SD starts bawling crocodile tears "I wish I was there but I WASN'T INVITED!" Holy bollucks!!! My jaw just about hit the floor .... I realized in that moment what a manipulative b*tch diabla she is. DH explained that she WAS invited and CHOSE not to come. Everyone was sympathetic to DH but didn't say anything to me (I assume didn't care) how sh*tty it was for me too! They also hemmed and hawed about how unfortunate it all was but no one seemed to have their blood boil about her lie the way I did. (On the inside) I kept my mouth shut and learned how sucky it often is to be a SM.

There was one time end of 2018 my sils were all sitting down and one says "its such a shame my husbands daughters how they turned out", then all 4 looked at me to elaborate. They knew full well how effed up these girls were, their behaviour.
 

It was religious holidays and hubby offered to pick them up to meet his family, they declined saying their stepdad wouldn't allow them (sd's were 14 & 24) and not living with stepdad or bio mum but in a home hubby bought for them. Hubbys sisters were furious why stepdad is calling the shots and refusing to allow sd's visit their dad, its not his right or authority. 

lets not forget, stepdad was having an affair with bio mum before my husband even separated from her. Turns out my sil who lived next door had known about a year prior from neighbours that hubbys exwife was having an affair with her current hubby who was married with 2 kids (her ex high school bf), it really hurt hubby his own sister didn't have the decency to tell him. Her excuse was I didn't wanna cause issues. 
people like that don't get to act like they're decent and should be shown respect now.

exwife, Skids and exwife's family are a total shitshow of drama i told hubby keep them away from me. I've been separated from my husband 2 yrs because of border closures from covid whilst i was finishing my university studies. End of this yr when i visit him with our 2 kids during summer school holidays, hubby has been told adult ss aged 24.5 needs to be out. There is no way we're spending 6 weeks with that idiot kidult in our marital home. He shuns us and makes the vibw so negative.

i've warned my husband if he wants us back end of this yr for those 6 weeks, make sure i don't cross paths with him and that adult is not in our marital home. I've been firm that i will not have any relationship with skids. 

my husband is flying in end of april for muslim new yr which is a big celebration, ss will be left alone in malaysia, where he belongs. Hubby made it very clear in 2018 that none of us wanted to be around him and hubby certainly couldn't bring ss along here to my country and make us feel so unwelcome in our own homes. That he destroyed any relationship with us for nothing. His own mum disowned him, his sisters are under bio mum and stepdads brainwashing and barely have a relationship with him, its so fake and awkward, so ss can spend holidays alone because hubby isn't letting him destroy our quality time together

ss did the usual oh I'll apologise to make it right. Well guess what, he hasn't had any contact with any of is in 4-5 yrs. the last time he apologised because hubby told him to, he mumbled as a 21 yr old "daddy told me to apologise" which made me lose it with hubby. I had 2 toddlers who wanted their sippy cups of milk and was wasting it listening to this loser i just walked away from him. My husband actually prevented him from returning to our home from university for several months to try repair our marriage.

when ss isn't here, its harmonious, the moment he sets foot in, its automatically a toxic negative vibe. Very hostile. Thats not the way home shoupd be and frankly if you're upsetting the healthy dynamics and positive environment in our home, you aren't welcome in it

when eldest sd called her dad 1 day when i was overseas with my 2 kids sitting my university exams, she had the audacity to lie to her dad and claim he abandoned her for me and our 2 kids and never made time for them. My husband did so many times only for every single time for them to cancel last minute or change plans. It just happened the week prior hubby had wanted to go visit his dad as it had been ages and thought he'd bring his daughters along, they cancelled 2 days before by calling their brother, couldn't even have the decency to call my husband.

the reason was stepdad wouldn't allow them to visit. We hadn't been with my husband for about 2.5 months at that point and hubby messages me saying if he had know all along, he would have flown to us for a long weekend holiday. I was honest and told hubby he was an idiot for not seeing this long ago because every single time it happened

Then and there i told him that when we made plans, they didn't change to accommodate his kids because his kids have no decency or courtesy and i refuse to adjust our plans to accommodate them like they're something special.

ss once demanded hubby leave our mini getaway to pick him up from home and take him to uni. Hubby said nocl, that we were on a mini holiday and he could arrange an uber. Took my husband 3 yrs to get to that point and realize this is ridiculous. Its all a game to skids to prove they are the ultimate real first family

Your a better woman than me. I didn't like my SD from the day I met her. Not sure what was more charming ... Her claiming that she is the smartest kid in her school or her saying that all the Mexican kids in her school are "stupid" or her posturing and disrespect towards her Father. I knew from the 1st day that we were gonna have a BIG problem ... I hoped it would be worth it because DH is amazing so I took the gamble ... It worked out but not without extreme growing pains. 9+ years in and I still can't stand her but she DID launch, thank-the-heavens above and is now living and working in another state.

When SS16 uses stupid excuses that sound just like hos mother's phonecalls to DH to ask for money. On more than one occasion I turned around all quicklile to smackaho only to have to pretend I wanted toilet bowl cleaner or something( you know to clean BM mouth- lol couldn't resist). Many eyerolls later SS16 has learned that certain things are not tolerated in my life. 

He's ageing out soon. So I have to push hard for him to fly the coop. Then FREEDOM.

With BM and her hubby tonight and apparently I'm the problem. Kids been stealing my panties sooo I stole his. He stays grounded, again, I keep him grounded too much and in his room...how about he's a double that can't stay out of trouble. Tuesday is a meeting at school for his "violence against a school" meeting and court date to be given, oh yes....hes being charged. Peace, I'm NOT attending and I'm not attending court. DH and BM can have fun. I'm the ONE person trying to hold him accountable and make him maybe NOT a POS human being but hey, I'm done. I'm not participating in this anymore. I will decide later just HOW DONE I am. Whether these little turds are worth the marriage or not. She's not been a mom for the 7 years I've been here and tonight had the nerve to ask to split time with us for him. she literally GAVE UP her boys at court but now sees fit to have time for split time. UGH!!!

Wait, WHAT??!

I'm assuming you have proof of this. So, not  only does he steal and lie big time but the perv also steals your underwear? And this is your fault HOW? Has anyone confronted him about this? If not, why not? Ask him straight up , preferably in public, if he's stealing your panties to wear, to sniff, to jerk off in, or to sell on ebay. Dammit, it's time his parents get him roped in and FAST!

Even made my DH go in with me while we looked foe them. He steals mine and my 10 year old granddaughters. And I'm the one in the wrong. I'm stepping back and as much as I love this man, considering stepping OUT of this whole psychotic mess.

Winterglow's picture

Has it occurred to him to think what might happen if your granddaughter told anyone at school that whatever-she-calls-him is stealing her underwear?

Apparently I'm the only one that thinks this is ABNORMAL

So school meeting went good for me. Principals both said he needs more severe consequences for his actions and that they (BM and DH) need to get a grip on thr fact that he doesn't learn from his punishment and is not maturing as he should be and needs counseling. ALL WHAT IVE BEEN SAYING FOR YEARS. He told them it's not that you don't see his behavior it's that you want to pretend it's not there and that's not helping him.   YES!!! EXACTLY.

It took me five years together, nearly three years married to reach that point, so congrats, you've made it longer than many of us.

So this approximately 12 times he's been caught. He never has a reason he does it, always " I don't know". Told my DH that this is an issue and by that I mean "outside help issue" becasue he has NO regard for consequences or boundaries and its getting old, fast! When our vacation is over, I'll be finding some help for him or me..or both!
