I was married for 23 years and we didn't have kids,which was ok.I got divorced and started dating this guy with 2 daughters ,at the time they were 11 and 14.They have 50/50 custody, at the time was every other week with him.When the older turned 16 she decided to not leave with him, after that my relationship went down hill.He became depressed and sad, we barely had any relationship .The younger daughter decided also not to be on the every other week schedule.Once again the got depressed.Has been a damn roller coaster my life .They barely talk to him, they don't call or text.His mom passed and the younger daughter didn't even texted .The older barely there either.his mom pretty much raised them.Yeap! I realized that my happiness is in their hands.When they call or go to see him, he is happy.He is a human puppet.They do whatever they want with him.He asked me to marry him, I said Not right now! I can't stand them, right now I don't like them.Im turning into a bad person, I can't stop thinking about them, and I don't want to be like that.I need to break free from them, even tho I do love him.This is won't get better.I feel stuck , I need to go away from the 3 of them.He is just a fool.Never again I will never  date a man with younger kids, I realized I am not made for this.
