I had a breaking point last night when I was accused of ganging up on SD. So today I haven't spoken to her or DH. He and I usually stay in touch during the day. The only thing I text him about today was grabbing me something from the store on his way home. He HATES when I won't stay in touch with him...let him suffer.

I really like how the stepmoms here say "the hill I would die on" or "the hill I won't die on".

Breaking point with SD18stb19 was her trying to parent SD13, bossing her around, allowing DS2 to sit in a diaper for 9 hours which resulted in a bleeding rash and being extremely disrespectful to me. Worked a long shift until about 1am then at work again at 10am the next day, came home to that bull and just told her I was done. SO had been threatening to kick her out for 6 months prior, I was stopping him. She was gone 2 weeks later.

Breaking point for SD13 was her calling me a whore (been with 1 man my entire life), an alcoholic (had a wine cooler on July 4th 2014) a bad mom etc because SO was yelling at her. I'm just now speaking fo her more than just hi and bye after about 6 months. Funny thing is her mom is an alcoholic, has numerous sexual partners every month and barely even contacts her until a few weeks before court.

SO and SS16 are good, for now.

I did lose it over a bread tie once. I really lost it. It's so stupid but I couldn't deal with them not throwing it in the trash after telling them for years.

I've completely lost it at dinner twice. I stood up screamed at them, and left. I have never screamed anything truly damaging just about being fed up.
