Thank you all so much for sharing your stories here. I've slowly been going insane, thinking I'm the worse person in the world for the struggles I've been having as a SM. I thought it was my own jealousy and insecurity that made me react badly to the actions of my SKs and even my DH, but I'm learning that these things are actually quite common for blended families. It nice to know that I'm not just overreacting to our situtation, and that it is totally OKAY for me to expect certain boundries and question things that make me feel so uncomfortable in my own home. 

Right now I really do feel like a stranger in my own home, and the impending arrival of the skids makes me feel sick, but I'm hoping to learn from you all and make some much needed changes that will benefit MYSELF... for the first time in years. So thank you <3
