How would you feel if your stepchild doesn't come

Hello
I have made a thread before about the situation were in and that SD is so alienated that she doesn't want to come over anymore so DH decided to just see her on his time for 1-2 hours outside of our house. He's been doing this for a few weeks now and its been very peaceful for everyone.

My question is how would you feel if your partner does that? Do some of your parners see their kids like this and not bring them around? I feel that this is the best for both sides. Were more peaceful and SD probably too. Also by her not coming over the drama will be none because a lot of the times when shes here we end up the bad ones that "mistreat" her, make her follow rules and share with her siblings etc and according to her thats being mean to her. So right now her crazy mom is not being fed with BS and theres 0 drama.

Im sure DH will eventually want to bring SD around again because he's not spending much time with her right now and also its probably not good for siblings like this to be a part from each-other altho our kids are little (2y/o and almost 1y/o) and they don't really understand yet whats going on.

Well I would be glad if she causes problems at your house, and glad that they are still seeing each other. We have been through the not seeing and not speaking from my SD when she was about 15-18 really, then it got better, on the surface anyway.

I do remember being embarrassed about it and thinking that everyone would believe whatever crazy story SD and BM spread about DH, but people who know you, know the truth about you. It really showed more what kind of people SD and BM were, than it did us.

So take heart! and do support their relationship, just that she will not disrespect you or whatever it was that happened.

Yeah my husband says he has noticed me a lot more happy ever since he stopped bringing her around me and the kids. Hes planning on doing it for a long time. I guess its best for everyone. Less drama to deal with. Actually no drama at all! It always used to be something when she would come over. And always I was at fault. BM would have major erruptions and also involve my MIL and everybody. So now everyones happy..
