Just when I think there's hope...

Everytime I think we are going to have a little time without SD (and by a little - even a day or two helps) something goes wrong. For example, I was all excited because hubby arranged with BM to take my SD Friday night through Saturday til late evening. He was going to arrange then for his mom to take SD Saturday night...all for me and us so that we could have an enjoyable holiday weekend without fighting, so we could have family time with just our kids, and so I could have a very needed break from SD. I was so happy that he took the iniative to try to arrange it.

Does Time Heal All Wounds?

So the saying goes that "Time will heal all wounds." This question is directed to all of the step parents out there who have been dealing with it for a long time...Do things get better with time? Do the BM's stop treating us SM's like crap? Do the BM's stop acting like insane idiots? Do the BM's ever treat the BD's better? Do the skids ever learn to behave? Does it get easier dealing with skids? Do the skids ever become less of an issue in a marriage?

Is It Worth It?

I don't know how much more I can take. I can't stand the fighting with hubby, I can't stand SD's whining, lying, crying, bad behavior, or even presence any more. The kid is a problem and my husband constantly overcompensates, takes the blame for her, lets her get away with hurting our two small children, and I am literally at the end of my rope.
