My question/thought is this.......
I had posted the other day about me making a "big girl" decision and just moving on with my children. That I would not allow SD to control my situation any longer. I then sat with DH and had a very serious talk about the reasons I am leaving. I did not place blame on SD but I also did not hide the fact that she has something to do with it.

He has since, begged, pleaded,cried and Yes even promised to change (things I am sure we have all heard.....correct?)

I then read another post yesterday about looking forward to when SKids (maybe even all kids.....LOL) leave the nest and it will then just be the two of you again.

While I have been with my family for 12 years; another four seems like something I could do at times. Other times I would leave with just the clothes on my back.

So my question is...
Do we do this to ourselves/ or rather - am I doing this to myself because I stay.
Do I have the right to Bit** and complain since I don't leave??

Knowing in four years I will have my life back; I am just not sure????
