I feel like I'm tired of being a stepmom. I love my sd, I really do. Sometimes I wish that she was just mine. People don't know how lucky they are to just have their own kids (does that make sense)? I feel guilty because I just want to be a newlywed, go on long weekends with my husband, go to one of those sandals places, you now...new married people stuff. We have sd about 50% of the time, but I feel like she only wants to come to our house because we have a computer, she has a cool room, cool clothes, there's always kids for her to play with, ect.

So I feel I need some help...a step parent support group, therapist, ect. However I'm from a rural area so those type of services are not available. I have been married for 2 years (my first) and I have no children of my own and a 10 year old step daughter. Her father and I have been together since she was 6 years old. She is a great child and I adore her. I would take care of her full time if I could. She goes through phases were all she wants is her mom (whom at times is gone for 7-8 days with boyfriend). Then sometimes she's fine staying here for weeks at a time.
