I hate my step kids!

They live with us full time, are parasites, and have ruined my relationship with my husband. Now though, I blame it on him for being spineless and taking every spat as my fault. I dont want to walk away but I can not see another option :-(

OK, Tappergirl, I give up. You're right and we're wrong. All of us.

So with that established why don't you print this thread off, and the one where you called your husband's daughter a "bitch" and show them to him. Let's see whether he agrees with you.

(Bar Whore?! Good grief Sad)

Softly is right. Pissed or unhinged is exactly the impression. But if your DH is aware of how you speak about his DC and is not challenging it, but is buying flowers this an unholy mess.

MorphineDreams · 02/08/2014 23:44

Couldn't resist. No doubt she won't approve my post for publication.

trufflehunterthebadger · 02/08/2014 23:47

For heavens sake don't go on the cafemom miniwife bit. The heartless way that one woman refers to her SD (just 8 years old) made my blood run cold

truffle, that blog is hideous.

MorphineDreams · 02/08/2014 23:52

Oops. I hope people are willing to comment on this blog and tell this horrible woman how vile her comments are.

She's published BOOKS too Shock

I thought the link Tapper posted was quite horrible enough (blogger advocating that SM's should insist on contact being kept away from their home and 'own family')

MorphineDreams · 02/08/2014 23:56

I just can't even contemplate that there are people like this in the world. This is a woman at her absolute worst. The vicious jealousy is all too much.

Jesus Christ I read further on and this little girl who she speaks of so viciously was self harming!
How the fuck can she treat her like the scum of the earth then justify it by writing such a hateful blog.

Fairenuff · 02/08/2014 23:59

Actually this thread has changed my pov. I will no longer be shot down by certain posters and I will no longer avoid threads they are on. If I feel I have something to add to a thread I will.

Good for you FlossyMoo Smile

And yet, no one has condemned their father for his failures to protect them from her behaviour - and even some posters who have identified that separation would be best for the DCs have suggested that the DCs and their father leave the family home.

The father isn't here posting though, so no-one can advise him what to do. There is no way that any poster can change the father's behaviour, any more than OP can change his behaviour.

I have never said any of what you are accusing , have some shame

MorphineDreams · 03/08/2014 00:02

Have some shame?

Tapper girl I think this needs to end now. You won't listen to advice, you're hell bent on not liking these kids, and there seems to be no resolution you find acceptable.

Actually me and DH have more dignity than the lot of you. We love each other and will strive to get through the pain and problems.

Just goes to prove that, in these days of self-publishing, just because something is on the internet or a book dressed up as fact, it is perfectly possible that it is complete and total horseshit

You posted this^ Tapper

FlossyMoo · 03/08/2014 00:05

Tapper Are you getting confused with the comments we are making about the blog?

The last few posts were not directed at or about you they are in reference to a blog that was linked.

basgetti · 03/08/2014 00:05

That blog is awful. She celebrates how her husband 'got his balls back' and pleased her by spanking his daughter with a paddle. I feel a bit sick.

From YOUR link;

END THE MESS AND THE STRESS

If you haven’t already entwined yourself in the drama of step-parenting, think twice before dating a man with children. At the very least, set very clear boundaries ahead of time in anticipation of conflict. Remember, you can’t grin and bear it forever. Eventually, you will explode from the built up resentment. One marriage was already destroyed. Don’t let step-kids be the cause of another one. Sarah solved the problem by sending the ex and her offspring packing, and she and Abraham lived happily ever after with their child of promise. You can do the same. If you aren’t lucky enough to have step-children living out-of-state to reduce the interference of visitation time, then insist your husband conduct his visits outside of your home and communicate in other ways that don’t involve your family. Your home is your castle, and it’s the peaceful place you, your husband, and YOUR children need to thrive. You don’t need the stress in your home that his past baggage creates. Yes, you knew he had kids before you married him, but it doesn’t have to be a marital death sentence. Some people get along better and inflict less damage when they leave each other alone. Turn step-kids over to their mother and minimize or eliminate contact. Say good-bye to the stress, head back to your happy nest, and know you are still a nice person!

Tappergirl · 03/08/2014 00:07

That has been decided this evening, so leave me alone please. You are all very toxic.

hoobypickypicky · 03/08/2014 00:08

You never said, "I see her as a little b*tch who loves to wind me up!"?

Hmm

You'd better check your security settings and change your password then because someone has been posting under your name. They even have the same "problems" as you. Funny, that.
