Has anyone had any experience for this for a difficult step family situation?
I am increasingly feeling that I simply can't do this anymore. I am constantly stressed and it's got to the point that I am actually ill with all the worry that our situation brings.
My first thought is to go back to my own home but I am fairly certain that DP would give up on our relationship if I did that and I would really like not to loose him as we do get on well aside from the hassle due to ex wife / kids / his own doing. I stay and keep hoping that I can "learn to live with things" but I simply can't and any complaints by me about anything to do with the step kids / ex wife are met with "you are trying to stop me seeing my kids". This of course, instantly shuts me up because I hate the thought of him or anyone thinking that.
So I see counselling, as possibly, the only way forward. Anyone got any experience?
