hello everyone,

A little bit of background between me and D's relationship. I'm currently 19 and he is 22. He has a 4 year old son that will be 5 next week. We have been together since 2011. We live together.

When i was 17 and first started dating D, he was upfront about having a son. I never planned on or wanted a man with kids because i knew id forever feel like a back burner, i didn't want to have babymama drama or worry about Cheating with her. A man cheating is the biggest stereotypical slap in the face.

the child goes back and fourth between parents. When we first met my boyfriend usually had him. Despite what i said in the past it wasnt that bad.dating him even though he had a son the first day i met him i also met his son. At the beginning of the relationship i interacted really good with his son. I played with him, showed him affection, i thought he was cute and cared for him. Any worries i had about my place in D's life he talked them out with me and i was fine.

As time went on baby mama drama began. D acted like he had no control over it. This girl has a history of destroying his property and still does. She stalked me with the use of technology harassing me through text, blowing my phone up all day, each time i changed my.number she found the new one she even found me on facebook and messaged me bullcrap...and i never met this girl in person. She badtalks me and calls me names..just a slew of immaturity.

The son eventually started being with his mother more when he started school, now d picks him up once or week or visits him.

My whole attitude has changed. I hate the fact that he has a son. honestly i hate the fact that he has to be there for his son. All the time i spend alone because he has a son. D never spends full holidays with me, he goes with his son. He lets me plan us holiday family activities and drops visiting My family, dropping me off all day. And goes with his son. I can never engage in anything because i cant even ride in the car with him when he picks the kid up. This has caused so many inconviences. Everyday he has to not be there for me because he has to be there for his son. When he brings him around me d doesnt show me affection around his son anymore. He just focuses on him. I have no siblings and my dad passed last year my mom passed when i was 10. So its like nobodies Here for me. The love i wanted from him goes to his son. Im jealous that another female had his baby. I dont like kids and hate That i have to deal with his. I dont think he is cute anymore he looks like her. I hate hearing my boyfriend talk about his son- i dont care. I was recently pregnant and had an abortion so i could go to the military this year. And you know what d told me? He wanted it, but wasnt ready at the same time. the reason he said wasnt even money or the relationship could be better, BUT hes worried about his babymama taking his son amd putting him on child support.

That hurt me. I had a chance to give my love and give myself a family again.

im tired of his son. He doesnt discipline him, he whines about everything, and hes still at an age where he cant do much for himself.

Im tired of my boyfriend leaving me alone because he has to drive 20 minutes just to pick his son up from school and drop him off around the corner.

Im tired of him leaving me alone every holiday knowing i have nobody. Then guess what? Fathers day and mothers day coming up. Guess whos gonna get it thrown in their face.

I hate that i had an abortion now its my fault im alone. Even if i did do it for the right reasons; iim trying to get my life together because its not successful having kids.you cant take care of. I dont have any parental support and that is essential for young mothers.

I hate all the nights i spent alone because he took bis son over his moms house so he could see his.grandmother its a long drive so they stay over.

I hate how when i want to spend a day with him, his son always comes up.

Maybe my issue is more wth him than his som, because i never felt this much angst towards other guys with children kids. D doesnt handle stuff like a man. He feels like its ok to put me on a backburner and break promises and leave me by.myself in the name of his son.

I hate that his son is a junior, or that he got me sick twice and hes not even my child. I dont even like the wprd son anymore.

Its to the point where i wish D was like the men that only took care of the kids by they wife. I wish he didnt take care of his son. That is a very bad way to feel.

I go through all this just for a kid whose mom hates me. D goes through his babymamas mother to see his son usually she is too immature and arguementative.

I dont even know if im pregnant again. The Condom broke. I really dont want to be because things are hard and i think i need to get out the relationship. Like now, d left at 530 in a blizzard to take his stupid son home from his.moms house. He hasnt came home, he doesnt have a phone, he didnt call. So im alone again. Last night i was alone also. He doesnt care how i feel when it has to do with his son i have no say so. Im to the point where if i am pregnant again he just wont be in my babys life. He wont have time for us look at how he treats the woman he claims he loves wants to marry wants to spend his life with. I took care of him for awhile until i got laid off. Now its the other way around. Im just tired. I feel like i deserve better period. Please dont think im evil im just hurt and alone and tired of Being disappointed. Everytime im happy he snatches it right back by breaking the news or excuse of some sort.

You're 19. You have your entire life ahead of you.
Leave now. If you are this unhappy now, it will get much, much worse later.
Seriously. I was a SM at 17 and have no regrets. You are already hating the fact this child exists.
You'll find a new man, one who has similar dreams and aspirations and no kids.
Go out and find yourself. Find him. Find the you who you're meant to be.

Oh to be 19 again. I would give anything to be in your shoes. Take my advice, grab hold of 19 and LIVE!!! DO NOT get bogged down into this relationship any further. You voiced the same kind of feelings many of us have. Don't feel bad. It is ok. You are correct in saying that BF is more of an issue than the actual kid is. You resent the child because of how you feel and your feelings are caused by BF's actions with his son. You already have the answer. Listen to your inner voice and follow what it is telling you. You don't have to live this way. Take time to be young and work on finding yourself, and then, someday, when you are ready, find someone that does not have children. This guy does not sound like he values you and you sound miserable. From what I have lived, it does not get better with time.

Thank you soooo much everyone!! You all are so supportive i thought id get critized for sounding so hateful. That sentence is entirely true i am resenting the child because of his actions about the situation. He Doesn't bring him around much Because he knows deep dow. I dont want to be bothered. Ive told him how i felt before not what i put here of course, and he treated me bad and resented me for awhile. I constantly tell him he is going to have to start back incorporating his son more with me. Whether i like it or not. Id never show these feelings to his face. The kid only has nice things to say about me which even the babymama is aware of. But this immaturity he has going on keeping me out the box is not healthy. Yes he has a child and.built upon something before me but if he didnt want to blend he should have stayed single. I wouldnt be with someone and feel like i cnt bring my child around. Yes my jealousy may have made it hard sometimes but that dosent matter, bc i dont show it o only express my concerns with him. Im the kind of girl that just wont interact with his son when im feeling a certain way rather than EVER treat him bad.

Some on here will criticize you but just let it roll off your back because they are not you and have no clue what kind of battles you are fighting. Most of the girls here I have found so far, are very understanding and sympathize because they have similar problems. It is Steptalk (where stepparents come to vent), that is what this site is for, to vent our frustrations and get feedback from others who are venting too. I have no other outlet. I have been married for a little over a year and in that year, BM and skid have almost completely ruined me. This site has shown me that I am not alone and that it is ok to feel like I do. If I were you, since you already know you are not happy don't make the mistake of thinking it will get better down the road. It might, but it is an awful lot to gamble especially at your age. I have a decade on you and I wish I would have known then what I know now. I may have not allowed my life to turn out like this if I had. Good luck and keep posting, it helps.

Your right,

Its been almost two years with him and im wishing i knew what i knew now . I think things will stay bad before getting better because he should have had this kid stuff better figured out. The little boys birthday is next week. Now my bf has to spend time with his bm family for whatever event they plan. Its so unfair!! It gets to me so much because I'm alone!! I don't want to be pregnant again by him right now. I refuse my baby to compete with his son. Ill be damned if he left my baby on her first xmas for his son.He would be extremely hurt if i took myself.and our baby out of his life..and to be honest, i don't care. I want him to feel some of the pain he Caused me. I wouldn't be the first or the last single mother...and i don't give a damn if my baby never met his Stupid son.

Then he complains that he's only one person. Its not fair I'm alone and have to share with his son, his mother, his brothers,.his friend s...all these unnecessary people he has to go spend time with instead of me. He acts as if coming home and sleeping in the same bed is spending enough time with me.

He should not be going to BM's for a birthday party and hanging out with he family. He has no boundaries and you are expected to take it and that is not healthy for your relationship. I know you are young and you want it to work out, but I think you would be a lot better off and a lot happier in the long run if you let him live without you. Maybe he will come around and see the error of his ways, maybe not, but he is NEVER going to change without provocation.

I met DH when I was 18 and SD was born 3 months later. I'm 21 now. I'm telling you this as one young stepmom to another: Run. Now.

I love my DH and SD. I love my BDs. But your SO is failing at juggling and blending his two main families. That's not going to change if it hasn't in 2 years. My DH would never dream of leaving me alone on a holiday. He got me a stuffed animal and a rose on the first mother's day we were together (barely having dated a month) because he noticed I was making a baby blanket for SD and he said that that was something a mother did. The only time he has visited SD without me was when BM said I couldn't come because she was being bitchy and when SD was sick and I was pregnant. There are men out there that are single and looking for a girl just like you. Trust me, I know enough of them who are complaining about the short supply! Find one of them and let this man go to a woman who enjoys being second to his son Blum 3

Sapphire- get out now! The pain of the breakup will be nothing compared to a lifetime of hell with the stepson, I'm telling you. Find someone without a kid so you and your future kids will be number one. Blended families are shit, I don't believe any of the people in here who say they're happy looking after someone else's brat.
Get out now or you will regret it!!

You're 19. Why are you doing this to yourself? Listen to the others and get out. It does not improve with time. Fast forward 15 or 20 years......the step grandbrats. UUGGGHHHH! God's little gifts to the world. :sick:

Seriously - walk away. None of you deserve this - not you, not Dad, and certainly not this little boy. You may think he doesn't know how you feel, but kids are not stupid. Walk away now, and find someone w/o kids.

You are so young! You definitely do not need to be dealing with this situation. Trust me, there are plenty of men your age without kids and you should go find one. I am late 20s so trying to find a man without kids at my age is like trying to find a needle in a damn haystack! But you should have no problem at your age! You DO NOT want to be a SM. You already hate the situation and are resentful toward your boyfriend and the kid, and I do not blame you. It’s not going to change though. My husband is the same way with paying all his attention to the kid and putting me on the backburner. That’s just the life of a SM. You will NEVER come first, EVER. No one deserves this life, especially someone so young.

Walk away.

BM keeps getting your number. You can't be in the car during pick up/drop off. He doesn't touch,kiss or hug you in front of his son. He doesn't spend ANY holidays with you. He has a car, a place to live, but no phone.

D is cheating. BM may be the other woman.
