Hi All

Sorry not been on for a while, been really busy over in the UK. I could really do with some advice, and can only feel I can turn here for it. I have been battling with feelings of jealousy for my SD12 soon to be SD13. My partner knows about it and we have discussed it. But lately ther have been subtle changes in SD12 behaviour.

Nice meal shame about the BM!

Whilst SD was at a party last night me and my bf went for a nice cosy meal at a pub. Half way through said meal BM rang to tell bf where to pick up SD, thought that would be end of conversation but as soon as she heard we were having dinner she into detail about the Cats she has and how one of them wet itself in the house. I thought it was going to last a good half hour and bf dinner would be cold, I could blood pressure rising and annoyance at her interupting our dinner together - one of the few time we can get together. bf saw look in my eye and cut the conversation short.

I would just like to thank Kidsaplenty for the advice - My SD12 is going to a party tonight that will finish at 11pm so I asked my BF if he would be up for a meal and then we can collect SD12 after - RESULT he said yes! I might be able to have a chat with him as well about stuff going on in my head in a neutral surrounding. THANK YOU xxx Biggrin

I can't believe this site! :)

I have only registered with this site today, and I am so please that I have done. This morning (UK Time) I felt alone and was crying my heart out with dealing with a BF and SD12. I have literally read this site from this morning and now feel as though I am part of a bigger thing and that I am not alone at all, I am NORMAL for having the feelings that I do in my situation. I feel calmer than what I have done in the past couple of months and feel I can actually cope with seeing my BF and SD together tonight. Thank you so much for a wonderful site!
