Jealously between two sons

Please may I thank everyone who commented on my thread yesterday about the jealously between my partner's two sons, it's truly appreciated. However, I cannot find my thread anymore, so I have started a new one just to say that I haven't been fair on you all, because I haven't told you the whole story which would make much more sense to you as to our reactions to the whole sad sorry story. I didn't want to disclose too much for obvious reasons. Yesterday, I had a weak moment, hence my thread, as we haven't been 'allowed' due to their refusal to discuss all the issues with the relevant people in order to clear the air and start again, so sometimes, I find it frustrating and I get angry at the unfairness of it all. Added to that and the years and years of upset, it's no wonder that sometimes I can be weak when I should be strong. So once again, thank you all for your thoughts and comments, take care and keep safe you lovely people.

Some things are better of not put on a public forum.

Good luck.

@Bradford333 You may not want to post, but you need support - it isn't being weak. Support is how you grow stronger. So - can I prescribe a little light lurking for you:

I can assure you from things my friends tell me, that this stuff happens in intact families as well as stepfamilies. It isn't you alone, it is the clash of the generations.
