I thought this was suppose to be the best time of my life, but it's turning out to be my worst! Two step-daughters that hate my guts! Posting pictures of the newly divorced "Mummy", as they call her, on their facebook pages. By the way, none of me or their "Daddy", as they call him.

You've made me feel better! It's just been a month into the "new" living situation and I am already at my wit's end! He has one daughter (25) who refuses to live on her own and is always here. We can't start a new life with her always in the way (intentionally, too). They, his daughters, play him like a fiddle and mine are being quiet and absent. It's NOT an ideal way to start off. I will take your suggestion and try to ignore their behavior. Thanks, again.

It said. Its none of your business what anyone else thinks of you.
I thought wow so true keeps me from worry about it nears as much. Smile

Thanks, Malley! I just need to sit back, relax and enjoy the "ride" for a bit. I don't have to like it, but I do have to be the adult. Showing by example? Maybe? LOL Smile

I agree with goforit take things slow, focus on you and hubbys relationship, find an outside hobby to fulfill you, go out with the girls more often....I dearly love my husband but would definately go crazy without my girlfiends!!!

jen-
It doesn't matter what "anyone" thinks or say's. You know your husband Loves you & that's all that should matter. God, knows too.

As for the adult child, can "daddy" afford to pay her rent for 3 months.( first, last security" set her UP in her own tiny apartment,And get her out of YOUR HOUSE...Tell her its a ONE time DEAL to get her started on her own. Every town has student housing, she could RENT a ROOM cheap...or get herself a room mate!!!!

Then have a wonderful Loving marriage..."ALONE"
