I met my OH 4 years ago when my DD was 5 and OH DS was 4. Everything seemed perfect. Until we moved away. My OH got really depressed, actually told me once how much they hated my DD. I thought it's ok, new move, new area, new family. We will get over it. But it just became worse. My OH puts my DD down all the time. My DD has a bad time adjusting to new things, she finds life difficult at times but she tries. My OG doesn't accept this and really goes of on one. To cut long story shut, my life and my DD life is awful. But so is OH DS too. My OH stays in bed until 4-5pm everyday. When OH gets up, instantly angry & shouting at DC , even own DS. My DD and OH DS shard a room which they can easily stay in for 9-10 hours a day. My DD doesn't even cuddle me anymore. Or kiss me. I know what's happening around me. I do. I'm just finding life so hard. My DD hasn't cuddled up with me in 3 years or so. I'm such a failure. I've messed her life up so much, and my own. I live miles away from my family, this is the 3rd school in 3years. It's all to much. I have no money to leave. I have no where to go. I'm starting to think my DD be better of in care. Because I've failed her. Because she is treated so bad by my OH. It's like I'm in this big hole & I can't get out even though I'm killing myself a bit more everyday. I'm kidding myself things will change still aren't I? That things will get better.... Damn
