I have been married for 2 years now and with my Dh for several. He has children from a previous marriage. (Not that it's relevant but to save the hassle, no I was not the ow and met Dh after they were divorced, she left him etc).
I think as a lot of women do in this situation, I feel like an outsider and when the kids are round I feel that I lose my place. It makes me upset and uneasy. I don't really know how to act or what to do with myself. Its like I can't relax like I normally would in my house. I feel like the imposter in my own home and that I get in the way.
I was wondering if having a baby with Dh would help me to find my place more? I would like a baby but not if me and my child will feel this way and of less importance than his existing children.
I'm torn really about whether to leave or make this life changing decision. What do you think?
