I have been a step-parent for about 12 years. The older the kids get the worse my life gets. Every year our family goes camping for a week. This year I decided not to go because I did not want to deal with the kids and their mother. I just heard from one of our family members that he has been constantly making snide remarks to his kids about me. I am at a loss, I don't know what to do anymore. I thought it was the kids always causing the problems but now I am not too sure. Has anyone else experienced this or does anyone have advice on how I should approach this?
