losing our santiy...
Is it really worth it? I no longer think so. Anyone who says "well, just ignore it...it'll get better" Obviously has not dealt with the crap I have put up with. I talked to my 9yr old today and just mentioned about going back to Texas (he always wants to go back) and he just started crying...because his dad wouldn't go...AHOLE DH of course can't move anywhere for fear he'll lose his job and end up in jail instead...so we have sacrificed and sacrificed so that he can have a freaking family...meanwhile, we sacrifice and I've lost myself. I've lost all my savings. I've lost it all. The only thing keeping me here is my son. I am tired. I am worn out. He's a nice person, but his past choices and even current ones continue to sacrifice the well-being of my son and me. And I just can't do this anymore. I can't think. I am constantly on the computer trying to get a little money, whether through Zazzle, CafePress, Squidoo...whatever...anything to make some money...I can't think anymore...and I would never have been in this situation had I not married this person with this crappy ex and daughter...and crappy family...I hate them all. I can't stand the thought of any of them. If I die tomorrow, I am terrified my son might be anywhere near them. I cringe just at the thought of my son having any relationship with these losers.
I need peace. I will never have it while I stay. This is not worth it. It's just not worth it. What do I do? What about my son crying because he doesn't want to leave his dad? I hate myself so much for staying for so long. I hate myself so much for believing that everything would be ok. It's not. It is worse every single year I stay. It only got better once and the witch and his loser daughter ensured that it didn't last long.
The idiot doesn't even know if his pathetic daughter is attending school. The more she fails, the longer this will continue. To top it all off, where we live, he MUST leave 1/3 of his inheritance (that includes any property we purchase together) to that loser daughter of his. That means if I spend ANY money on the property, the witch will get some of it anyway...I won't allow it. I could end up on the streets because of it and nobody would care. The only ones who benefit are the idiots who have kids at 15yrs of age and at 22yrs of age that couldn't afford to have kids to begin with. I hate it.
I have to find a job. I have to get out. I can't do this anymore. I just want to cry. I just want to run away. I just want to get the hell away from this nightmare I have been living in for 12yrs.

I never get upset for others
I never get upset for others writing about themselves on my blog...this forum is a place for us all to vent and if what I write makes someone else think about their situation, and help them, then that's even better.
Yes, I do understand you. My DH is none of the things you mention above, but the nightmare that he brought along just is too much.
Thank you stepmum!
Thank you stepmum!
It truly is not worth it.
It truly is not worth it. Truth be told, I'd rather live ALONE than with any man who is a guilty daddy.
But for some of us, possibly caught in a financial trap, we have to cautiously deal with these whack jobs and slowly plan our exit plan.
I say if you can do an "ejection seat" by all means!!!
Auteur - I love your
Auteur - I love your "ejection seat" phrase! I'll keep it handy! And yes, I agree.
I left my first husband when
I left my first husband when I didn't have a job and my son was only 5 years old. I put myself through school and got a decent job. Now, 20 years later, I couldn't be happier with my choice! Like you, Stepmum, the last beating my son got was the last straw, especially at that young age. I was a step mother then, again in my second marriage (ss and sd) and now my BF has both of his teenaged boys living with him full time - Mom wants no visitation whatsoever. Of course she lives 1/4 of a mile away, his Mom and sister live 5 houses down and he lives in their 25 year marital home. And he wants me to move in with him!! I have actually shown him this site to show that I would NEVER move in with him under those circumstances - EVER!! And, with such eloquent writers on this site, he now understands why. He even told his cousin to lay off her daughter's new step mom and pointed her to this site so she could understand how she must appear to the new step mom. You CAN leave, and you won't believe how much better it is when you do. So much less stress, so much less drama, so much more me and baby time! I don't regret it at all, not one bit. It was hard at first, but I felt alive for the first time in over 10 years. I won't make that mistake again, but I wouldn't have known I was walking into a mine field now if I hadn't been through the first nightmare.
Good luck and I wish the best future for you and your kids. It doesn't ever get easier or better, it only grows more resentment between the two of you and it gets harder to get through the day without Valium. I hate to be so brutal, but that has just been my experiences. I have terrible taste in men.
Oh, and jenw, I also went to
Oh, and jenw, I also went to a counselor and it helped a lot. Of course my first husband wouldn't go - just like yours won't go - and that is a big red flag!
jenw - good luck! hope things
jenw - good luck! hope things get better for you too!
mlk1010 - thanks for the advice...I believe you are right that the resentment just builds up. The crazy kid gets worse, DH just sits around with his "there's nothing I can do against the courts, against the idiot BM, with my loser sluttly 16yr old" and I just feel like I gave up my life for a better future which I have yet to receive...My biggest concern is that I would move back to the US and not stay here where DH is...which would mean some major fighting to see our bio-son, as there is NO WAY IN HELL that I would allow him to take him to his family's house where we live as they treat him and me like dirt...no way...and I know that if we lived in the same state, it would be different...but he can't move, as always, it's about his crappy daughter and him not being able to lose a job to stay out of jail for not paying cs, even if that means that the rest of us can't eat...sigh
I'm working as hard as I can on trying to figure out what to do...trying to make some income...but I don't see how things will get better...
