Stepmother

she pisses me off. Everything is about her, and how she is not the center of attention. This woman feels she should be on the same level as my mother. Well news flash for her. SHE'S NOT!! My mother is my mother. I have been rounds with my dad over this, and I am really losing it.

been there done that 3x.
the #1 and the #3 we ok. #2 didn't last.
#3 gave me brothers. I love them. she is the only one who didn't try to replace mom.
I was angry anyway. Their relation ship can't replace your relation ship with either parent.

In the past I've had issues with my stepdad (still do), but I've never like... fussed at my mom about it. If he's the one making me angry, it's unfair to take it out on my mom.

Love your avatar btw.

Sorry about your stepmother. Try not to let her get to you. Ignore her drama as much as possible.

It sounds like your father wants you to maintain your original position in the family (like you were in the past)...But you are an adult now...I've noticed that with my family...After being living elsewhere for the last 30 years...my mom still wants me to remain the same as I was growing up the person I was as a child....(and I'm so old now, I forgot what that was)...it really is a struggle everytime I see her....For me it is a very difficult position to change. I find myself wanting her approval...I have figure out what my boundaries are....and then be able to stand up for myself....It is really hard...and I fall back sometimes...but I can see the progress and change in the relationship...

I don't fuss at my dad about it. If she doesn't like the way I'm being, I get a call from my father, so I give it right back. She has been in my life for 25 years, and I have just about had it.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
