I hope someone can give me some advice on my problem. Seems as though I am always having a problem with my blended family. Step kids live with their Mum.
My H and I have been married for a few months (lived together for awhile) and I feel I am a pretty fair person. My adult stepchildren aged 26, 21 and 18 have been very disrespectful of me since the first time we met. As soon as they see me they look at each other then look up and roll their eyes, then totally ignore me!!! Did I say they are adult? Sounds like little children.
I have spoken on many occasions to my H about this and he will just say " they are quality kids and you hate them!!!) GRRRRR...
Anyway, his ex has become quite nasty since we married. She will yell and scream on the phone to my H about issues with the kids....One occasion was that Hubbie was working and 18yr SS had a high school function which H couldnt make. Well hell broke loose and she went on to say that he should have seen how the private education has made his son what he is. (pity the school didnt teach manners!!!!). Well since then the step children will call their dad asking him to meet them at their grandma's nursing home ( husb. mother) as Mum is going with them. He will tell them that they are old enough to go alone! Now the ex wife is calling saying that she is going to see her ex mother in law regularly from now on.I feel uncomfortable with the visits in case she turns up. With all the problems I have been having of late, I have been diagnosed with panic disorder. I like my motherinlaw but I do not want to be put in an uncomfortable position! Can anyone offer some advice please???
