How Did YOU find StepTalk?

I know for me, I googled, "telling kids about new baby in blended family" or something like that. I kept getting links to the forum section.

After a while I started poking around. I was horrified by the ways people openly discussed their disdain for their skids.

Time went by.

I began to resent my SS13.

Now I post daily.

I googled SD from hell and found this site 5 years ago. Thankfully, since it stopped me from strangling her or DH....

I Googled "Step parenting forum". I was actually looking for a place to discuss issues with people in like situation as I was dying inside. No one seemed to understand me and I was starting to feel like a mean, lonely, sad woman. This place helped me immensely.

It had occured to me that there seemed to be forums for everything now. And a simple google serach of Blended Family Issues lead me to hundreds of thousands of hits making me realize how pervasive an issue this is. So I gave that a shot and here I am!

I googled the same thing

LOL. Yes, I now remember also googling something along these lines a few times as well and this site kept popping up.

Hehe, although after being on this site, I know that I'm dealing with a milder form of crazy...she is still a wack-a-doodle.

LOL - seeing a theme here

googled "I hate my stepson"...

To be fair, in the just over 12 months since that desperate search for help and understanging things with ss have improved vastly and he's on the whole (now) a good kid. Amazing what a bit of eye opening and discipline on OH's part can do.

Unfortunately it hasn't extended to sd, who has become a nightmare in the last 5 months (since we bought a house and she realised I am actually here to stay)

And OH himself is now one of the major issues, I guess I have learnt THAT from ST.

It is so OMG a relief to know that I am not a monster or in any way abnormal though, to have all of these people here going through the same or similar crap as well. It really HELPS!

someone on another site

someone on another site mentioned this step site, so i checked it out. i came here because there are a lot more people on this site and it is active. the other one was damn near dead. also, brutal honestly on this site is accepted by most posters. on the other one, i was a villain for not loving my sd. :? didn't matter what she did, i was supposed to tolerate it all and even other sm's told me i was evil for hating her. what the F ever. i offered to ship her to them since they felt so sorry for her, but none of them took me up on it! it's nice to be where i can say how i really feel without dealing with shit out of any more than the few resident bridge dwellers getting in an uproar about it.

I don't remember exactly what

I don't remember exactly what I googled. Five years ago, at age 20 and not even engaged yet , I found this site, right after dh got custody. Bm called his cell 5-10 times a day and would mostly just scream at him and never wanted to see ss. I thought I had lost my mind. I was sick all the time from being under so much stress. This site helped me a lot. I've been on an off over the years with different names. I do t remember what my first name was. I get on when I need support and then forget my username and have to create a new account after six months or a year of bm being absent and not needing the support of the site.
