During the weekend I had a big argument with my mother in law because of my step daughter. I am very disappoint that people can be ignorant to the victim role that my step- daughter was play. She has made so many lies about me and my kids. There are times that I wish I could walk out of this marriage and never see any of these people again. But I love me life and my husband. Sad

In laws often side with the BM, unfortunately. Being an SM can be a constant balancing act between wanting to get shot of the whole situation, and wanting to stay with the man you love.
Hope you can get some ideas and support here.

My Sd15 plays the victim to my inlaws. Poor me, I get nothing and DD10 and BD4 get everything. Meanwhile it is the exact opposite. She cries to everyone and ends up getting three times as much. She tells mil lies about me and the kids. I give up trying to out her. It gets me nowhere. Evil kid!

Now I feel so very blessed! My MIL is a wonderful lady, her first words were 'she's NOTHING like the other two'. I do not know if she knew I heard her or not? After meeting with her she tells me 'Welcome aboard'.
I can tell her absolutely anything and it will remain between us, she knows both our faults here and how much we have to deal with and NEVER takes sides. The reality is that no one person is to blame, circumstances occur and it's how we deal with them as individuals that makes the difference.
I have moments where all I can do is VENT!!! Then I get on with whatever is to be done.
