My husband is a great parent to MY KIDS. to his he's an uncle, at best. It's very annoying. I know its bc of the history of parent alienation from bio mom.

In the past when he discussed their relationship, he describes her as a total bitch, that you couldn't say a word or the shit storm she would create was nuts & would go on for weeks or months.

Now he claims he just goes along with whatever she wants bc he's sick of legal battles, just wants peace & does whatever to make it easy on the kids.

So my husbands ex texts him "Happy Birthday!" His response, "Please have the kids call me." NO RESPONSE. NO PHONE CALL. What a skank! Seriously. If you are the world's nastiest ex... Don't bother sending a birthday greeting. & if you happen to have a moment of decent kind thinking... Have the damn kids call!!!

My ex just moved his current wife out at the end of January, within 3 days he was bringing around another woman, telling the kids they were just friends, of course. After a few odd comments were made about her & things just didn't seem right, I looked her up on social media, got her name & then looked her up on the repository. Her legal history is horrible. The worse being she is a felon & her parents took custody of her oldest child from her years before her felony charge.

In our custody order, it states we are not to have the children around anyone with a felony.

I feel like I'm not cut out for the step mom gig. I hate the exes. I hate blended family. I hate tiptoeing. I hate the in laws. I hate explaining how I have this many kids. He has that many. Oh & that's a 1/2 sibling from the ex. Blah. Blah. Blah. I love my husband. Dearly. There are days I can't stand the way my step kids chew or sneeze. Or anything. In the beginning I thought we could love through this. We were bigger than all the issues. I don't think that now. I feel like the boat capsized. We are drowning at sea. We have 7 years. Ugh. Can't wait to be done with all the crap.
