What happened to xmas?!!!!

faith's picture

For anyone who has not followed my blog, I met a wonderful man after being divorced 7 years - he has been widowed 5 years. We have lived together 8 months now, and my 3 children do not wamt to be living here.
His older son has moved into a flat with his girlfriend, so we are left in this new house with just his (nearly 17 yr old & my nearly 15 yr old) daughters.

Is this damage now irreparable?

Events of the past month are now hurting me so very much - each time I have had enough, he turns on just enough to keep me here. He seems to have no idea of the hurt he is causing me. It was his birthday yesterday - the previous evening he told me his son would be 'uncomfortable' if I came for a meal with them! Apparently, since his son moved out a month ago (yes, I'm blamed for that too!) nothing has been resolved. So, yet again, my fiance thinks I should bow out as his son is too important to upset! What about me?! I am so low down on his priority list.

SD has to come first ALL the time!

Okay, this week has got worse and worse. We have been sleeping separately for nearly 2 weeks now due to all the arguments - mostly over his attitude that SD can call me a f******* b***** etc and generally he makes excuses for her. He may not even be present when this happens, but he tells me she was saying something else! How would he know the truth - even when it smacks him in the face he still makes excuses for her - after all, she's just a kid (16)!
I had to take my BD(14) to a friend's house 2 nights ago because he started involving my daughter.

Widowed and fighting the world and me......

I think that is what I am realising is happening.

I never expected my mild mannered DH would be like this. But, 2 years after meeting, we only moved in together 6 months ago. I have been blaming mainly SD16 for all the black looks and outbursts, but it is now obvious to me that the fault lies at my DH's feet.

SHE can do no wrong!!

She can do no wrong, apparently, my SD (16). Not even when she is caught out lying, trying to get my BD (14) into trouble, usually trivial things, but her Dad just ignores it as just being her. Now my BD is practically living with her BF along with my older BD(16)who chose not to move in with us 6 months ago, although she does now visit. I find myself so angry that my fiance lets her away with so much, and now I am living here in a house we bought together 6 months ago, without my own girls, but with his daughter who is doing all she can to wreak havoc.

second best to his daughter

Well, this last episode is ringing in my ears - if this isn't a wake-up call what isn't?
Having the rare opportunity of the house to ourselves, we had a cosy evening in front of the tv, watched a good film, enjoyed a good bottle of wine, then he initiated making out there on the sofa! Great, felt fantastic, like it used to be .... then.... his daughter texted him and he just got up & read it and then texted back!! Like I was nothing! There I was, just lying there, thinking how could he be such a stupid, uncaring slob of a man!

Fiance too protective of his own kids

This week has probably been the worst for me. I tried to surprise my fiance by getting 2 tickets to a film I thought he'd enjoy (he never thinks to arrange anything himself!) Only he didn't want to leave his daughter alone in the house (she's 16!) - he was as slow as possible, so when I emerged from the bathroom, running late as usual, I found him sitting chatting with his daughter, still not having got changed and with no intention of leaving her! I went on my own.
