What does it actually take?

I've been going through a lot these last couple of weeks with my DH, the BM from the armpit of hell, and SD's 7&9. I've literally been scouring the net, talking to friends and family, and posting here on our site, desperate for help - or some magical words of wisdom that will bring me peace. 1. It's no picnic being someone's second wife. 2. It's worse when children are involved. 3. Even worse when those children are female. 4. Absolute dark deep and burning hell when the BM is a jealous head case.

Oh Sure, I'm the Bad Guy?!

Two weeks ago my SD's ages 7 & 9, went home after a weekend visit with DH & I, and our family. I thought we had a pretty decent weekend, I knocked myself out making sure we did lots of fun outdoor activities and despite my best efforts, the girls wound up with some sunburn on their backs, even though they did use sunscreen. BM had blasted me via text for the sunburn and said the girls claimed that I cursed at them and refused to lotion their backs because I was too busy with my bio sons, ages 3, 2 and 9m. This couldn't have been farther from the truth.

I am step-mom to 2 SD's, ages 7 & 9. I've been in their lives since they were 2 & 4. I also have 3 bio sons of my own with my husband - ages 3, 2 and 8m.

Their Mother is a true problem in our relationship and always has been. She creates all kinds of problems and turmoil, primarily due to her jealousy...and it's blatant.

I'm posting today for advice on how all of you would hand a situation that occurred over this past weekend, and also for your thoughts about a couple other issues that are causing havoc my life.
