The mother of my husbands children was his high school sweet heart she has been out of the picture for about eight years, but I still feel in the way. His daughter wants them back together and he says he doesn't go back. But his daughter manipulates every situation to get his attention. Her and her brother had a spat approx 2 weeks ago, he is playing football, but she couldn't try out for volleyball because her foot (the one she walks on normally so long as daddy isn't around) hurts. The kids mother lives in another state but her family lives where we do and all of a sudden or when they feel like it just drop by. I have a problem with this cause they never acknowledge me even though I provide what their sister or daughter should. I get treated as if I don't exsist. My husband is no better because she mingles with them since they go back. Lately I have just been feeling like I am in the way and ready to give up so maybe he and his kids can have their old family back(even though they were broken up years before I came into the picture)
I feel like I would be happier out of this mix I love the boys with all of my heart it is just the manipulative daughter doing things constantly to be the center of attention.

Any thoughts or suggestions
