I have known my partner for a long time, so known his dd too, though we lived far apart so it wasn't regular meet ups.
Sadly he was widowed so has his dd full time.
I have 2 ds's too and we all live together.
I'm feeling guilty about how hard I am finding it. I do speak to him but struggle to articulate sometimes or get him to understand.
My 2 are far from easy and I am well aware of that, both are more than likely autistic but I can manage as I've always had to deal with it.
She has a lot of sensory needs which most of the time I can manage but I do get frustrated like I do with my own children, but I do find it overwhelming.
I try to be understanding and I do feel for her with everything that's happened but I find it bloody hard and feel guilty for feeling like I do.
Would you struggle if you had your step kids full time?
I've name changed for this as it could be identifying!
I would appreciate any advice as well on how to manage these feelings of guilt, and how to cope in general.
