Calling it quits
Why is it that when the devil child (boyfriends) sd10 is not around life is peaceful?
I'm sorry but I can not handle even hearing her name. I just can't do this anymore. I love my bf but I don't want to be a step mom or ? I thought I could try and did try but not anymore. Between the devil and her mother I find myself doing and being this person I don't recognize.
I use to be so strong, so fun, I laughed all the time, I did anyway. Now its rare. I walk around with a frown. I don't even have the will to fight about all that is going on or gone on. I worry more about getting shot down and feeling even worse than I already do.
I have thought about going to a therapist, and that's just sad. I can not believe that I allowed someone to bring me so far down into the trenches I hate myself.
I just now need to find a way to tell him. A part of me wants to curse and scream and tell him what I really think and then the other just wants it to all just drive away.
But what I really want, is for him to see that I am deserving of love and he allowed his ex and sd10 to screw it up.
I'm broken hearted and don't want to be alone starting over again. But I know that I can use this as a lesson. Next time I will not make someone a priority when they only make me an option.
now what...
Oh sweetie I'm so sorry.
Oh sweetie I'm so sorry. Reading this and a lot of other posts on here I realize how lucky I really am. Please do not use this to measure other men and their kids- not all of them are this way. If you have tried to talk to him and things haven't changed and you think you need to leave to save your sanity then do so. While I'm sure you love your BF you need to take care of you first. I hope things get better for you.
What a powerful
What a powerful statement...next time I will not make someone a priority when they make me an option.
It's a great reminder for all of us who give and give to these relationships (SO, DH and Skids) and put our needs at the bottom. It only becomes worse for us when they put us at the bottom of their priority list too.
I think I would sit down with him and share exactly how you feel and use that statement. Maybe going to a therapist can help you become a priority on your own list. A therapist can help you figure out if you need to leave the situation to be able to nurture yourself and get healthy again.
HUGS to you
It really can suck your soul
