Okay I met my husband a year and a half ago we got married on our one year anniversary of dating, he has two kids a 4yr old daughter and 6yr old son from previous relationship, I'm pregnant also and due in just a week. I feel like everything was fine before we got married in August, once we got married and my husbands ex found out I was pregnant it's like everything went down hill and now my husband had to get a lawyer and file motions for set schedules bc his ex won't let the kids come over most of the time and when they do my step son is an absolute monster.

Since my last blog post, it was feeling like there were improvements being made as far as my feelings toward SD5. (She turns 6 in April.) I'm beginning to think/realize it will always be this ebb and flow of taking steps forward, then back.

As our son is growing up I can see a dangerous trait in myself. The background is there're so many behaviors of the stepchildren that I hate so much and now when our son starts just a tiny bit to go in that direction it drives me crazy I get so much angry. The bad thing is I might put it too much on my son, since I stay out of parenting/disciplining the stepchildren, whenever they misbehave (to my standards) I just think to myself, I won't never let my own child behave like that.

I'll start with my interpretation of the root cause of the issues, my wife and I do not have the same opinions on discipline.
