I am so happy to have found this site ! I have no one to ever discuss "step" issues with as there was no support for me to end my 25 year marriage were I had three, well-adjusted educated children. I am paying the price now ! I have two skids ages 23 and 26 and dealing with them for the past 9 years has never gotten easier. They are rude, manipulative and just plain not nice... and, yes, I knew going into the marriage. Anyway, will write more later about specific issues. I do like my second husband but with all of this mess I wonder if it is worth it to continue....
