So Depressed!

Well, it has been awhile since I last posted. Since the New Year, and our return from Disney World (which SD ruined) I've tried to just resign myself to the fact that SD is a raging little brat, take an ativan or have a glass of wine to calm my nerves and responses to her raging brattiness, and just grin and bear it -- and reveling in the times when she is not around.

This tacit, has blown up in my face. Easy to see that coming, huh? Not speaking up, drugging myself and hating on my life all of the time has rendered me totally depressed. I just don't know what to do anymore.

Yeah, Right!

Of all of the things that I have mentioned here, here is one that I left out -- BM doesn't drive. Nope, all of the driving is on us -- which usually falls on my husband. She is a grown woman who just has not bothered to get her drivers license. We live about 35 minutes away from her.

BM is Totally Delusional, Are They All This Way?

After much screaming, yelling and discussions with my husband we decided to stop arguing with each other and to tackle this problem with my step-daughter as a team. I was very honest with him and told him how I feel that this child is doing nothing but wreaking havoc in our household, how her behavior on our family vacation was mortifying along with letting him know my concerns with exposing my son to this situation any longer. We agreed that we would talk to BM about what is going on and try to come up with a reasonable resolve.

Does This Seem Wildly Unfair?

OK - So I told you all about Disney World and the way the little brat ruined my vacation. I told you a little bit about what happened afterwards too.

This has been ongoing for months now. Sometimes it seems better -- but that is because those are the times that she is not around.

I can not take this child anymore. My nerves are fried, and I still can not stomach to even look at her. Last night she colored with crayon and pen ALL OVER our walls. She knows better. I can't understand why she's behaving this way -- and frankly, I really don't care to.

I can't even stand to look at this kid right now

Someone please help me, I am losing my f'ing mind. My stepdaughter is an obnoxious, spoiled, manipulative, twisted little monster and I can't take it anymore. She's terrible. I don't know what to do about it.

I had been planning for two years to take my son to DisneyWorld for his birthday/Christmas. My parents bought tickets and reserved the time share before I married my husband. After we were married they added him and his daughter to the tickets -- I should have known better.
