My husband has two kids from previous common law marriage. His daughter is 32 has four kids by three different criminal fathers. The son is 29 and is a flamboyant gay. Actually not his bio son. Ex dropped the he's not your son bomb when child support ended. My problem? My step daughter was beaten up by "the love of her life" for the second time. The guy is a felon was charged with murder, robbery, assault with deadly weapon. She's indifferent to her kids. They lived here with us and my basement and bathrooms looked atrocious. What got her out of our house happened when had an issue with me in my house. I fussed my hubby for two solid hours. She walked around here like a priviledged hen. My hubby enables her. He gives her money, won't let her suffer and if I were a weaker person she would dump her kids like her half sister on her in laws. Back to the beating. Hubby took sd to ER for stitches and came home mad with me because his daughter needed him and she couldn't come here. Not true. His daughter won't help herself do anything to better her lot in life. She smokes marijuana and consort with criminals. Hubby feed her money and when batterer was in jail sd sent him money. Her 15 yo daughter is sexually active, kicked out of school for performing sex acts in school . We quit family vacations because she dumps her kids on hubby and stays home. This person has hit rock bottom and is dragging my marriage with it. I was a teen mother but I rose above that. I'm a professional with a college degree making a decent income. My daughters are everyday workers, living on their own terms. One daughter earns six fugures. They tired of being the village when the sd only continued to take. My hubby just won't practice tough love. We're not talking because all he wants to do is accuse and compare. My girls won't come over anymore to spare me from the insanity of comparison. My daughter is having a difficult pregnancy so I brought her home for a few days to watch her and help with my active grand. No. I never toldtold my hubby in a time of need sd couldn't come here. But my hubby knew federalfederal felon was staying in her apartment and he's silent to me over his kids activities. Dysfunction is normal to these people. The whole family! I have never seen anything like this!

A relationship is mutual - both parties have to give. It is not healthy to provide your SD with a way out every time she gets in trouble. If that continues, she will never learn to change her pattern. If you have shared how you feel about the situation, and it does not matter, then you have the option separate your incomes quickly so that no more of your funds can be spent to support this behavior.

It sounds like this has been happening for quite some time, with no change. You are going to have to decide whether you're going to just accept that this is the way it is or not accept it. I would suggest counseling for you and your husband to work this piece through.

I have never laid eyes on the guy. And he's never, thank The Lord been in my house. I'm looking for counselors because this is way out of my league. Before I met hubby my life was sweet. My girls were independent, my circle of friends and I travelled. There were no conflicts in my life. The biggest deal for me was the over achieving college student. She graduated Cum Laud but whew what a challenge. My husband is a good guy, hard worker but doesn't get it. He can't admit that he and his ex are responsible the the mess three human beings walking around this planet are. His ex let her 14 yo daughter from another marriage live with a man and then envied the relationship. Needless to say this daughter has a criminal record a mile long. When he objected she pulled the "my daughter" argument. My girls understood and it was well ingrained in them that college was expected. My eldest didn't want to go and she struggled a few years but know has for the last ten years done well for herself. She has awhenn awesome husband that comes from excellent stock. My youngest finished college and is happily single, no kids and not willing to change that. Again, I'm way out of my league when it comes to this man and his kids and when we met his kids hadn't evolved to the mess they are today because I never would have given him the time of day from my wristwatch if he was living with this mess on a daily bases. I've came through a previous bad marriage HEALTHY and was after six years of being not in a relationship started dating hubby.
