Hurt feelings

Hey everyone...I haven't posted much, I'm still a newbie and haven't told my story yet, but will soon when I have the energy because it's long. Anyway, my DH was recently laid off and he has been having a hard time making his bills. After his CS is paid, there's not much money left over. So as you can imagine, it really put a damper on our Christmas. We had to tell SS10 that we couldn't give him the presents he wanted, that he wouldn't be getting anything. We had to borrow money from my mom to help make the bills this month.

Breaking out of my shell

Hi all, I've been lurking around here for the past year or so and haven't introduced myself. I belonged to another step-mom's board, but there was so much catfights and name calling that I never really posted and felt unwelcome. I love this board much better and have a lot of appreciation for the ladies here and all their support and encouragement and that they UNDERSTAND. Being a stepmom is the hardest thing I've ever done and it's a challenge that can break you down if you let it. I will start by saying that I've been with DH for 3 years, married for 1.
