I am so happy to have found this site ! I have no one to ever discuss "step" issues with as there was no support for me to end my 25 year marriage were I had three, well-adjusted educated children. I am paying the price now ! I have two skids ages 23 and 26 and dealing with them for the past 9 years has never gotten easier. They are rude, manipulative and just plain not nice... and, yes, I knew going into the marriage. Anyway, will write more later about specific issues. I do like my second husband but with all of this mess I wonder if it is worth it to continue....

Looking for "love".... I had love but, at the time, I thought I needed more of a physical attraction to my husband. I am a completely different person now .... I had it all. Great family, good husband, friends....

Are your step kids around a lot? They are adults, do you stand up for yourself? Does your husband just allow them to be rude and disrespectful?

My DH is a pretty laid back guy but if his daughter ever acted like an ass to me (or him, for that matter), she would regret it.

Your skids are adults - you do not have to do anything for them, you can simply ignore them }:)
