To remain happily married to a man, when after years of estrangement from one of his daughters, his other daughter has now joined in and incidents are being made up/accusations thrown, at me? Suddenly, the sd I got on well with "doesn't remember" certain things happening/being said. She is in FULL support of her sister. My own son was and is bewildered by their lack of contact as initially, a lot of fuss was made of him. They have ignored my ds for a long time (going into 3rd year) and we've tried hard to keep the lines of communication open but as expected, his 3 are now sticking together, changing their perception to be more in line with youngest sd who caused all the hurt and I am the scapegoat.
I was not OW. DH has supported me all along, knowing I did nothing untoward. I tried so so hard and was rebuffed over and over again. Ridiculed and ignored most of the time. DH has said many times that he is not proud of the way his have behaved and he has never tried to defend the indefensible. DH is a great stepdad to my ds who he's known since he was tiny. He's now 13. I miss my eldest sd and am so upset at the change in attitude. I just want to give up and have nothing (and I really do mean NOTHING) to do with these nasty young people. If I leave DH, he and I, will be devastated but I can see no future for me with him where I have to have his (now adult) kids in my life.
What on earth can I do? I've HAD it and just want to tell them go away and leave me be.
