Is something wrong with me or what?
Forums:
I hate it when someone refers my skids as stepsisters to my biokids. Or sisters. They are not sisters. They are not related. They are only around because dh had kids before we met. That's how I view everything. I have a warped view of having stepkids. I disengage all the time because I AM NOT their MOTHER. I have to focus my energy on my own kids and I don't have time for all the bullshit they put me through in all the years before. I have no love. I have no anything. Am I a monster? I don't even come out of my room when they are here..(every other weekend) I only do things for my kids and with my kids. Dh can take care of them. They are his after all. :?
Are they children you had
Are they children you had with your DH? If they are, then I would consider them sisters, because biologically they are half siblings. If I have children with DH we will call SD their sister, just like the son her mom had with someone else is called her brother. If they were kids you had with someone else, technically they are step siblings.
If they put you through hell, I can see why you are disengaged. You are not a monster, probably just protecting yourself from getting hurt again. You are in the right place to vent about it, and it really does help to let it all out. Good luck!
No I have two children myself
No I have two children myself with my exhusband. And I have a baby with my dh now. My two stepdaughters are not half siblings with my first two. I don't find they act at all like sister anythings with my children. I know the baby is a half sibling. My oldest dd is 12 and wants nothing to do with them. They did put me through hell , them and their mother. I'm still trying to work through it.
Thanks.
I can understand your
I can understand your frustration because they put you through hell along with BM. You're not a monster- this is a really good place to come and vent and get it all out.
