I'm a new parent and step parent who is in need of some support and advice.
My DP and I only moved in together when we found out I was pregnant. It was always on the cards but we were saving for more money to cover an extended maternity and pregnancy costs. However I fell pregnant and we moved in together. A bit stressful but we are happy the majority of the time. My DP has a 12 DS who comes every weekend. From the get go I've know this would happen and he's a lovely lad however I'm dreading the time we spend as a family. I just enjoy the new family (the three of us) as its easy and less stressful and the time as a four feels forced and such hard work. When I look at my DSS is see a lovely boy who loves my DD so there's no meanness towards him. As time goes by I'm trying to become a family but I'm also getting very upset before he arrives for contact and actually starting sobbing today and was so anxious.
Should I keep going and hope it gets better or leave the relationship to avoid damaging all involved?
