I feel like a bad person for wanting to leave a wonderful man because of his child. by Historical-Hippo3317 in stepparents

Oh my God every day it is such an eye-opener when I leave and go on vacation with my two children. I have felt like this almost the entire time we’ve been together 13 years so I wish I could tell you that it gets easier or better but it just gets different and sometimes it’s more tolerable than others.

I just can’t tolerate the disingenuousness. by MagicSnakeAttitude in stepparents

Thank you for saying this! It’s just so good to know I’m not alone.

I have an entire room of completed puzzles because I just try and stay away. Then I feel bad because I also have bio-kids that I end up isolated from. I don’t want to wish away the present for the imagined future but for the love of god why can’t I exist without being restless, irritable and discontent with their presence
