i'm currently fighting the feeling to go and hide in my room, or just feel depressed. i knew it was not going to be an easy day and dreaded getting up. my teen daughter asks, is fat man home, her stepdad. they're so mean to eachother too,

my children, ages 15, 14, 10,...not 6 yr. old. they won't come down stairs when my husband is here. i feel like i'm being punished and want to cry right now.

it's so stressful and i want to go hide under the covers. went food shopping and showered and took care of birds. i offered to take them to flea market, said no.

life is supposed to be a gift, but i hate mine, my job, that my husband is fat and doesn't make enough money, and my children's attitudes..and my atitude. i want it to change, not be so pessimistic.

" Well, it sounds like you know what you want...so now, you just have to try to do it! Your children are all minors, and living in your home, they need to have respect for both you and your husband.. They may not love him, or even like him, but they need to have respect. Sounds to me like you are not too happy with your husband either.. and if you have ever said to your kids, what you wrote in this post, "I hate that my husband is fat and doesn't make enough money"... Could it be they are feeding off of some of your feelings? I hope the days ahead are happier for you. Try, if you can, to fight the urge to hide. Get out and do something for you! I wish you all the best! "

" Elena -

I am so sorry for all of this. It is sooooo hard for you to try & keep everyone happy when you feel like crap yourself.

For what it's worth - I think you are doing a FANTASTIC job holding it all together. Raising 4 kids is HARD enough & throw in step-families & you are working also.................

I have the greatest admiration for you. "

" Was your hubby fat when you married him Elena? or did he let himself go after he got you (cause you are a beauty)? "

" I'm sorry you're having a hard day...I'm also part of a stepfamily (though the kids are grown now -- I'm the stepparent) and it was always difficult. "
