Hello, and thank you for having this website. I started reading here early this morning and I already feel better.

I am going to try and explain my story....there is so many years worth of frustration now, but I am going to try.

My husband was married married from 2000-2005 to another woman that had two kids. I started dating him at the end of 2005. The kids from his former marriage were his step kids, not his biological children.....the boy was like 19 and the girl was around 16 years old.
I never seen much of the kids when I started dating my husband, I heard about them from my husbands mother mostly but I only seen them a few times. We were married in 2006 and trouble began.....
When I moved in the kids would stop by while I was gone and *borrow* things often and never return them. The ex step daughter borrowed a tent once and left it in a friends yard and we had to eventually go get it. Over time the mess got on my nerves and I told my husband that I would not put up with this kind of thing from my very own two children and sure dont want to put up with it from kids that are not even ours.

My mother n law has pressured my husband to spend time with these young adults now. She has pictures of them all over her house that was not there before.
Over the past few years the teenage girl went to work at the local grocery store and everytime someone that I know goes through her checkout line she runs me down. Last week my sister went through her line and she told my sister I was a mean person and that I took their step dad away from them.
I have listened to stuff like this for four years now so I called the girls boss and told him to tell this young lady to stop talking about me in the grocery store.
All hell has broke lose now and my mother n law is furious because I finally said something about what the girl was doing at the store.

I understand these young adults have spent 5 years of their life with my husband but its not my fault that things happen and he now stays home with his new family. IF my husband wanted to go see the ex step kids he would...I certainly dont say anything.

I am tired of my mother n laws actions and I am so tired of the ex step daughter. I know its not my husbands fault but I cant help but be a bit angry with him too.
I have even dealt with the ex step daughter stopping by and dancing for my husband and all his friends, they were in the yard when I pulled in that day and the girl was on a table showing the guys her routine for her stripper job she was wanting. :jawdrop: She was not nude but she was showing them her moves. She is a wild one to say the least.

I did not bust his marriage up. His ex wife was cheating on him with a man in another state and filed for a divorce in 2005.

I have two young children and I married for hopes of a peaceful life. My children dont have grandparents (my parents passed away), I wish my husbands mother would just accept what she has and stop causing all the trouble. I am about at my wits end with the entire family and I have half a mind to move away. Life is too short for all the drama that goes on nearly every week. I have not had a conversation with my mother n law in four years were she dont mention those kids at least once....

I cant explain everything that has taken place on these few lines..it would take a book for me to explain the load of crap over the past few years.

I am just tired of it all...so tired, and I needed someplace to vent, and I thank you all for allowing a place to do that.
