Step Families Support Group
Traditionally, a stepfamily is the family one acquires when a parent enters a new marriage, whether the parent was widowed or divorced. This community is focused on many of the relationships and issues that may arise within stepfamilies where you may find answers from some members and you may help other members with their questions.
I am a divorced male that recently re-married to a great woman. We are raising her 8yo daughter who calls me dad. We are expecting twins in April. Since my wife is bi-polar and pregnant, she has very little tolorance for stress. We have many fights and she is throwing things all the time, threatning to end our relationship, and throw me out.
We are trying to get out of our 2br condo with no luck yet, so we are cramped and it stresses her out. We just had a fight with my ex due to the ex letting my daughter come over sick which is dangerous to my wifes high risk pregnancy. She keeps telling me that we won't last, she can't handle all the kids and with twins on the way she thinks it is too much. Having children with me was her idea to begin with and she kind of talked me into it.
I am confused, hurt and resentful. She tells me that my kids are a problem and wishes she could rethink ever meeting me and having our life together. I thought we were so happy and I love her more then any other person I have ever loved. I lover her daughter and she is like my daughter, all the kids are very, very close as well.
What should I do?? Is it her hormones talking?

theatre and I are there already. I'm having a very berry tea with crackers, cheese and cherry tomatoes and she's having a joint with some beer and we're both on really comfy recliners on thick pile carpet. we need some help with the decor if anyone is around??
Don't know the relationship with the ex, but it doesn't sound as though she brought the sick child over to cause problems. Sounded like an honest mistake. Anyway, try and calm your wife down. Talk to her, and let her know that you love her, that you both need to be united, to get through all of the problems together. It sounds as though being high-risk isn't helping her. If she isn't due anytime soon, I don't know why she is freaking out about the living quarters. (But then again, the bi-polar mind is a mess to understand.) Everything in due time. As much as you may hate what she says, you need to stick with her. Hopefully, you both can work together and resolve these issues. Good luck to you both and your kids.
