so I have 2 step children/adults.. girl 24 and a boy 18.. they have just come back into our lives thanks to me.. and now Im sorry that i tried.. its a very long story but I have 2 boys of my own and I could see pain in my husbands eyes whenever we have family over or do something with my boys.. so I asked him to text his son on his 18th birthday again.. after 6 years of trying and he did and slowly both the kids have come back into his and mine life.. but now.. i get texts from his son everyday saying how unhappy he is living with his mom and her new husband.. the daughter whom i don't really like because of the past pain she has put my husband through.. lives there also.. but she doesn't talk to them she just lives there.. she doesn't want to leave her brother so he says until he graduates.. which will be in June.. my husband pays child support and was just diagnosed with bp and its a tough situation for me.. so i found this Christmas book i thought was his daughters and he kept saying it wasn't so i took a picture of it, sent it to Joey and asked him to ask his mom if it looked familiar.. I hate throwing other ppls stuff out and thought if it was hers she might want it back.. so i got back a text saying .. ITS CHRISTYS and mom wants to know how you got it.. WTH.. i said with all the other stuff your father put into my storage bin.. she then said well it was at the grandmoms house and it should have stayed there.. im like i give up.. i should have just thrown it out .. im tired of being the nice one in this disfunctional family of his.....
