I have woken up this weekend and thought - my life is actually shit. On the surface, supportive financially secure dp with 3 ds who life with us 24/7. I have 5dc who also life with us except every other weekend when they are at their dads friday night to sunday night, so my 5dc get quality family time with father and gf, dp's 3 children get time with their father and me every other weekend and I get precisely nothing. Both sets of kids get on ok but not great and very different interests, almost a year after moving in it feels like dp and his 3dc are 1 family in their home, me and my dc stay with them but aren't really part of it and it doesn't feel like our home. I just want my own home back and for one day to wake up in the morning with only my 5dc and make them pancakes for breakfast. Both exh and dp get quality time with their kids, I get none, I have no financial independance now we are living together as have given up work, court next week to try and agree financial settlement with stbexh which is another nightmare. Any advice welcome pls, I'm at my wits end with it and feel so sad.
