I am home from work, Thank God. I am spending the night alone, hubby is working and my teenage stepson is out. I will catch up on things around here and maybe go to bed at a normal time. I did not gamble today, lord knows I really wanted to. I am going to try to talk to my husband tomorrow night when I get home from work, to see what to do about my stepson, he is in counseling and on medication, I do not know what else to do. I am going to clear my head and tomorrow is another day. I will not gamble at least for tomorrow. Take Care all,HUGS,Mindy

Just take some time for you, to relax, do whatever you feel like doing around the house, but do take some time to just chill. Sounds like you have a plan formulated, hope it goes well, and is received with an open mind.
always here for you

Congrats for resisting the urges of gambling considering all the stress you are going through, you are doing well. It sounds like your stepson does need counselling, he has no right to disrespect you like he does. I cannot stand kids that disrespect adults, being a teacher, I get it almost everyday. Do not know where the respect has gone.
Kids are stressful. it is so difficult to know how to approach them, even when they are your own let alone not. I do hope that you find some solutions. It is good that you are talking to hubby. Very important that he understands how you feel and you don\'t build up resentment.
Good for you not gambling!

kid are stressful and I am glad to hear your stepson is getting some help, hope it includes you and your hubby and the boy having sessions together, so much good can come out everyone hearing stuff with someone facilitating and keeping it about issues instead of emotions. Sometimes the issues are not what each party imagines is going on and it can be a real revelation to hear it direct from each other. My sister has a blended family, 1 child each and things were really traumatic, they had family therapy and I got to go for one session as at the time I was living in the house it was amazing. I had my own ideas about what was going on after everyone offloading on me, but during the session none of that came out it was all misconceptions about what each other were thinking. You are doing so well to stay GF well done. Hope family life settles down, be well
I\'m proud of you for staying strong through this time. Does your step son act this way in front of your husband? May be if you get him on tape or video... I hope you find an answer to your problem before it gets any worse. Your in my prayers.
