Hello fellow stepparents, I am a long time reader and this is my first blog.

It’s really sad how many of your stories hit home with mine and DH’s. That there are so many of us dealing with high conflict, alienating, gaslighting, narcissistic, abusive, controlling, deranged, psychopathic, pathological lying, money whoring, malicious BMs (did I miss any adjectives? Because all of those are our BM!), not to mention their alienated, entitled and generally messed up offspring.
