Hello everybody,

First of all I would like to thank those people who answered on my comment on another person's post last week. I have been trying to find the post but I was not able to find it, all I know is that you both people showed me a lot of empathy and made me re-think even more about my relationship with DH (which has been pretty unstable, and every day is getting worst). Thank you for your kind words, and I wish I could find that post because I don't remember your names.

Feeling suffocated

Hi everybody,

This was supposed to be short but turned into a whole vent/ midnight realization.

Since SS4 came to live with us full time, my feelings for DH have drastically changed. We were already having problems before SS came to live with us, and when he came in our house all our problems intensified. I'm 22 and DH is 24.

Honest conversation with DH

Hello everybody,

After I was sick a few weeks ago and DH acted like I was exaggerating everything, I decided to have a talk with him. I told him everything. That I am tired of this situation and that I want to disengage. That I don't want to be an unpaid nanny and maid. I told him that his behaviors pushed me away to the point where I'm not sure about my feelings for him. He told me he wants to make this work and he will take care of SS whenever he's home. 

So far, he's being pretty good at it, and I am spending more time by myself, away from DH and SS4. 

How do you deal with the anxiety of being a stepparent?

Hello everybody!

I wrote my first post a few days ago and I want to thank all the people that answered me. 

I wanted to know if anybody has some tips regarding self-care while being a stepparent. Since SS4 came to live with us full time about 4 months ago, my mental health has been declining, as well as the relationship with my DH. Me and DH were in a bad moment when SS came here, and having him here made the situation worst. After many discussions, we agreed that we would try to make our relationship work, starting a new page. 

I don't know what to do with 4 years old SS

Hello everybody! 

This is my first post so hopefully I can get some advice.

I have a 4 years old SS, living with us full time until June. BM is far away (we don't know where) and only calls once in a while. SS is a cute and affectionate kid, but the relationship between me and him is what "bothers" me: I don't know how to deal with it.
