i have been married to my husband for seventeen years been together for 19. i have two daughters and he has a son and a daughter they are now all grown up, but the angish never goes away.
my relationship with my stepdaughter has always been strained ,her dad always saw life through rose coloured specticals and was adament that she wanted to live with him but it quickly became apparent that she was more than happy with her mum and her partner whom she left to live with five years previously.
we had huge issues with cloths being one they had to change before they went home and when they arrived to cloths at daddy house, this is just the tip of the iceburg it translated on to my children and many a time they and myself were picked up for not being

My SO doesn't buy seperate clothes for his boys for at our house, so now I don't invite them to any gatherings with my family because their clothes are always the wrong sizes for them. The older one is a fat kid always in sweatpants that are too small and the younger one is a fat kid too, but his clothes are always too big because he's in hand-me-downs from his brother. It's always sweatpants, always with hole and always gross. SO bought them a few things this past summer that never ever made it back to our house, so now he just lets them wear what they come in. I'm sure it's a tough pill to swallow to write a substancial child support cheque each month and STILL have to buy them clothes when that is supposed to be covered with that monthly cheque. I try not to judge, but quite frankly, their clothes embarass me. I don't want to be associated with them dressed the way they are.
