Well we got married he is a truck driver so he was gone all the time. Here lately I have really started to despise my step kids, we are always broke i can't do any thing with my girls and i hate that

Get a job. Put your daughter in day care or preschool.

When your husband isn't home, have the SKs go to their mom's or a family members house.

Do you work? If so, keep finances separate. If you don't, get a job. Pay for your kids that are not his also and he pays for his. You should not be his free sitter. If he couldn't see them as much when you weren't around, you should not be liable for having them with you now either. That's his issue, not yours.

When he is gone, his kids should be with their mother.

You have a child that isn't is his, you have a responsibility to provide for your child, hopefully the father is active, involved and paying CS. However you still have your own responsibility to provide for your child financially. Since your DH is not able to do it, you need to get a job, pay for your child, contribute to the costs of the child you have together and let the mother of stepkids take care of her kids when the father is not around.
