Light at the end of the tunnel
For those of you who have read my previous posts you would know that I moved out of BF house and back into my little unit to give us both some breathing space before we kill eachother.
Well when I moved out I thought that BF would throw discipline out the window but to my surprise BF has stuck with it.
Before I moved out there was a list of rules and chores that SS13 needs to do every night, which we had to keep on his back about and since I’ve been gone BF is still making sure SS13 sticks with it even though he left it up to me when I was living there. When I was over the other night SS13 was asking for dessert and BF said no way cause he didn’t eat all his dinner and SS knew that no dessert was the consequence of that.
In the past BF has always given in to the skids (he has 3 boys, only SS13 lives with him) especially when it comes to dessert so I was very proud of him for sticking with his punishment.
He is starting to act like a father should and treat me much better as well as show his appreciation for all I use to do for him and the skids before I moved out.
Ladies I think I may be starting to see light at the end of the tunnel and I couldn’t have done it without all your help and advice, you were all right I didn’t deserve this shit, so from the bottom of my heart THANK YOU for helping me pull through.

He is
scared that you will leave him.That is great to hear sometimes we have to show we mean business.
I am glad this is working for you
how long have you been gone now? I would stay apart for a good chunk of time--just dating-- just to be sure this new attitude does not leave him to quickly.
I think
it is so important for the kids, the parents and the step parent to allow the bioparents to do THEIR JOB. When the steps step in to rescue (no matter how well intentioned), the kids will resent them & the parent(s) will resent them too. You sound so resolved. Sounds like you stepped out of their circle and are finding it much much to your liking. Congratulations.
Dani-great to hear something positive

after all you've invested in this relationship, I hope things continue to improve and you've found your happily ever after.
You made a wise decision-and maybe he's seeing the error of his ways??
