Wow! After reading a few of these stories, I can actually feel the stress roll of my back.
My step-daughter has only been here a week and will be here for the extended 42 days. My husband and I have already had our first major fight. We were at the point of separation. BUT he finally realized in the middle of our scream fest that his 5 year old was very happy to see us fighting. To the point that she was sitting at the table swinging her legs and smiling like she just got a pony!
It really hurt his feelings and he was ready to drive her 500 miles back home. I refused to let him we promised to stand together and work it out.
this small child has been tought to hate by her mother as young as the age of two. It is sad! I meet my husband after his terrible divorce and she used to be so sweet. I was her BFF, until BM started to put things in her head. My sd tells me a whole lot about her home life and it makes me sad for her. But then she turns around and make our lives a living hell. She wants what every step-child wants (mom & dad together) but doesn't care who she hurts. No compasion and no love comes from this litle person.
I don't understand because I tought my son to love and respect his father and his family. He has no complaints the sad thing is that his dad hasn't seen or called him in 4 years because of his new wife. My son is 12 and he knows that he is not wanted but still loves them because he is so big hearted.
