My husband left for a business trip yesterday, it was the first time I had dropped him off at the airport in 5 years and I didn't cry because he was leaving. That made me sad.

With him being out of town, I was dreading going home because my stepdaughters might be there. They had a discussion with their dad the night before how about how we don't made them feel "comfortable" being at our home. I know my husband wants them there but I really feel it will be at the expense of our marriage. They will straight not abide to any rule and expect that we just accept that. I can't.
