Hi everyone. It's almost refreshing to see I'm not on my own with my difficult step children. 
 

So I'm a mum of one son and have two skids. I've been with my husband for 8 years and we are so happy together. My son lives with us and his kids (ss14 and ss18) stay with us at weekends and in school holidays. I've put up with this for years even though I struggle. His kids are so awkward, not just around me, around everyone. You can feel the anxiety coming off then, especially the 18 year old, he is also autistic.
