I met and married Mr Incredible. He has two young daughters (7 and 9) who live with their mom and we get them on weekends. I have two girls, they live with us and they are 20 and 7. Everything is great until the visitation weekends then my husband defends his girls all weekend, we fight, and then Sunday evening comes and things go back to normal. I am viewed as the evil step mom who broke up the marriage of Mr. Incredible and his former wife. That is not true but the kids are fed that crap and they act accordingly. There have been so many changes I am thinking about leaving to make it easier on him and them. I can say that would not be easy since I do love him and I just hate who he turns into around his kids. He will not stand up to his ex-wife, he jumps when she sneezes. I feel that he wants his kids to love me like my kids love him. His kids will never like me since they are programed to poison me if the opportunity arises.
Should I go or should I stay and battle it to the death?
A not-so-evil stepmom
i met my husband when his kids were 11, 8, 6. now 18, 16, 15. its been a long road. now we have two children bewtween us. 3 and 15months. my step-daughter(16) lives with us. i feel like it is a stuggle of conditional and unconditional love.
my husband and i band together most of the time, and when we don't we make it a point to sort it out behind closed doors. that way we never loose our upperhand.
step-parenting is all about having control...of your self.
