Hello,
I’ve been with my partner for almost two years now and have a 18 month old son. My problem is I feel like I’m disliking my step son (8-year-old) more and more by the day. We have him full time and visits his mum twice a month (every other weekend), I feel a lot happier when he goes for two days and it always seems to go so quick.
I feel like I’m struggling because I feel his mum or dad don’t do anything for him, it’s always me having to organise things and make him happy. His mum pays no child maintenance and I feel like I’m really struggling as two years ago it was just me, on my own going to work and enjoying life.
Most days I just want to leave as it’s always me having to pick up the pieces when things go wrong. He is a sweet child to his dad and mum but talks to me as if I’m an idiot :(
I want out but part of me wants to believe that things will get better, can anyone advise me on past experience? It would be much appreciated.
Many thanks x
