PAS directed only at the SM?
Hello all - I'm sorry this is really long.
I'm having a rough time with this at the moment. I've read Divorce Poison, all the online resources, but they're not much of a comfort to me in current daily life.

"My wife" doesn't mean me :-(
Hi - I'm sorry if this is a bit rambly, but I'll try to make it short!
My DH and BM have been separated for 6 years, divorced for 4 and we've been married for nearly 2, but this still happens from time to time and cuts like a knife.
This is a woman he loathes, wanted to leave (and asked her several times for a divorce over the years before he finally left - not for me I might add, although she has retconned history that I was the OW).

Effects of ostracism in step families
Wow. Just listened to this radio programme on a study of the effects of ostracism. It's aimed at family estrangement / workplace bullying etc, but it has some powerful things to say about what we go through as step mothers.

How do you know if you're having a breakdown?
I'm genuinely asking...
Since Monday morning when I asked my FDH to remember that I exist at weekends when the children are here, he's treating me as though I am the very worst person in the world. He has totally withdrawn all physical and emotional affection. Really careful not to call me any pet names or tell me he loves me. Just a cursory "love you too" if I say it, no hugs, no proper kisses (just the quickest peck before going to work), no chatting, no conversation, nothing. Just the bare minimum of human interaction. Being really careful not to touch me or brush past me.

My first post
Hello all! I've been lurking for a long time - gathering lots of strength from women who've been through it all and making me feel less alone.
This is the first time I've blogged as I felt desperately like I needed to reach out...
