Getting better?
Hi everyone! I don't know if I am going crazy but since I found this site and have been letting out my feelings things with the kids seem to be getting a lot better! Maybe I just feel better knowing that I am not alone - nor am I crazy for feeling the way I do. My 12yr old SS made me a pancake for dessert last night! And yes, the smoke alarm went off a few times and the pancake was a little on the charcoal side - but it was such a lovely gesture, I enjoyed every mouthful! I invited my 14yr SD to hop into bed with me the other morning when her dad left early for work - and we had a nice time together just chatting and watching a bit of morning tv - then she fell asleep. That made me feel good because she has told me in the past that she never got into bed with her mum for a cuddle when she was living with her! I remember I always used to have cuddles with my parents! So I am glad she feels comfortabe enough with me to do that too.

That's so great!
I'm glad to hear that things are getting better for you. Sometimes it can feel like a weight lifted off of your shoulders just to have people to talk to who know what you are going through!
That must have been the best pancake ever!!!

The drama is still there but knowing that I am not alone in all of this makes me feel so much better. Really just having people to share the stories with and hear theres makes me feel so not alone. Thanks to all of you.
PS. I am gald that things are getting better it gives me hope.
Good for you...sometimes the
Good for you...sometimes the good times w/stepkids feel a bit awkward cause you don't come to it often. So cherish on that and build more to spending time w/them. My stepson and I just recently this year (after 6 yrs together) are really connecting and share time together. It's good for him to think that stepmom is really not a wicked and scary person.
I'm less stressed
Since I come here to get it out I feel less tense about family issues. I'd almost go as far as that doing this is healing. I'm less angry when things go sideways.
