So DH has decided he will not be giving in to BM and changing up the custody. I can't blame him I guess. This means I will for sure be responsible for SDs (7) homeschool for the foreseeable future. Homeschooling, raising a baby, running the house, and working parttime. Yippee! -sarcasm- I can already feel how burnt out I'm going to be soon. 

Hey everyone. I'm new here. I'm newly married and a mom to my infant son and step mom to SD 7. We have been in each other's lives for about 2 years now. My DH has custody due to BMs history of drug use and instability. BM currently has most weekends and has more time in the summer. BM has always wanted full custody and SD wants that too. BM says she has been clean for probably a year and a half now.

When I have a problem I see many sides to the feelings of the people involved. Maybe it's because I'm female, maybe I'm too sensitive, maybe I fit with the "Empath" label, maybe I think too much, or maybe a combination of all. I have this habit of agonizing over all the possible consequences my decisions will make on the emotions of others.
