On the verge of leaving my DP.
Fed up with being given no choice but to put his needs and his kids needs (wants) first all the time. We're going to Relate but I don't feel like we are getting anywhere.
Told DP I am worried about my teenage son today. We literally never get any time to be alone together. He is surrounded by my step kids who put him down and boast about how wonderful they are. He is being negative, forgetful, lazy in school and tells me he doesn't care, says he's useless etc.
My DP response? I am not making the most of the opportunities to spend time with DS (when are they then?! Probably about 30 mins a week! whilst I spend many, many hours with his kids).
He's told me that after over 2 yrs of living together, I am not giving things time to be part of a "family".
I am so angry. I've given him and his kids so much emotionally, I am bled dry.
DS and I are a family, we don't need his kids to be a family unit!
