My DH is really getting on my nerves even though I'm 5 hours away!!

Hey StepTalk family. I am on vacation this week and my children and I went to Virginia to visit my mother and brother. My DH and his children stayed behind mainly because DH's mom has cancer and she's not expected to be here much longer. Well, since I've been gone DH doesn't want to keep his kids he drops them off at their relatives house. I knew that it would happen but it just bugs me that DH can't keep his own children unless I'm there. What's his deal.

Contemplating Ending My Marriage

Hey StepTalk family. It's been a while since I've posted but things are so tense in my house between my DH and SK's and I that you can cut it with a knife. I still barely speak to my SK's and my DH. My attitude is bad and I hate going home because I know that they'll be there. I'm at a cross roadsright now. I truly honestly don't know if I want to stay with DH. I'm just coming to the realization that I don't know if I want to be raise someone elses children. Especially because my DH and I have two different ways of parenting. Our home is divided and it always has been.

Honest Opinions

Well, I haven't spoken to my SKs in like 2 weeks and I don't want to speak to them. We all live in the same house together and I have 2 bio kids as well. This all started the eve of SS14's birthday party. My DH took all of the kids over to his brother's house and SS14 were mean to my kids BS8 and BS6, pushing them making them feel bad. During the party he didn't acknowledge them and even kept on hitting my BS8. In turn, since he's started this I guess in an effort to fit in my BS8 had starting hitting my BS6.

What to do?

Everyone give me some pointers here. over the course of the years and even longer than my DH and I have been together my DH has been questioning whether his oldest son is his. He has stated to me that BM was messing around on him around the time of conception and he sees the guy that she was rumored to be sleeping with a lot. SS14 is built more like this guy and has same skin complexion. Now I told DH that if SS14 is his child then no harm done, but if not what will he do then? He's had full custody of both of his kids for 5 years now.

Is anyone with me

I'm reading a lot of posts where sk's only come on the weekends or a couple of times during the week. Are there any step parents that actually live with their biological children and their sk's? That is my situation and I must say that it is hard. Number 1 because I'm so protective of my bk's and also because my dh and I don't really see eye to eye on parenting most times. I make a real effort to try to be nice to my sk's but this last situation with my ss14 hitting my bs8 really not only pissed me off but put a bad taste in mouth.

Two Different Pages

Let me just start from the beginning. When I met my husband I knew that he had children. They were living with their BM. My husband moved in with me and my two children. My oldest was 3 and my youngest was 1. About 6 to 7 months later, my husband's kids were taken from their mom, along with their 2 brothers that weren't my husband and they all came to live with us. A couple of months later, the 2 brothers were farmed out to their family members and it was just my husband's 2 kids, my 2 kids and my husband and I.
