- My son had a procedure today (day in and out surgery)....one he has had many times before. Due to being born with syndrome he has been through many surgeries. Most (meaning about 98%) I have been the only parent with him during these surgeries. I am...
- My son is going to be 11 this year. About a year ago he was diagnosed with anxiety disorder. He had a pretty hard start to life with several medical issues. Today although healthier than he has ever been he still struggles with lasting effects and...
- I finally sat down with my BF and told him all the things I couldn't handle anymore that his daughter does. Most of them he explained and had excuses for but the bedroom he couldn't argue. I want to give him credit for at least trying to have her...
- I have decided that I no longer have the energy to clean a grown women's bedroom. I stopped doing her laundry. Is stopped cleaning her dishes. Her room looks as though a tiger went in and tore the place apart. Dishes and food everywhere. Smells of...
- My anxiety has been so high as of late that my doctor putMe on meds. These meds make me feel worse as I expected until my body gets used to them. I wonder when my life will slow down a bit. The support I thought I had isn't there anymore and I find...
- I'm not sure if anyone here even comments anymore, or hopefully they are just happy in their situation and don't need to. I do hope that is the case. It's been awhile for me. And nothing has changed. In fact it is only worse. I find myself more and...
- I find myself more and more everyday struggle to ignore all that's going on with my SD. I did the "take matters into my own" step by just taking control of her room situation and clean (not for her but everyone else in this home). But I can't just...
- When the step daughter is here I feel as though I am the other women. The lonely one on the outside looking in. Its not just the lack of affection and attention I am given when she is here. Its the way she does all she can to come in between us. How...
- I have noticed that it seems from my posts and journal entries that I could maybe be a hard person/SM to live with. I really am not. In fact I am the opposite according to my mother. She says I am a push over, to nice, that I never speak up about...
- My father Scans were completely clear of any cancer. He will continue taking the pills form of chemo and they haven't used the word remission yet. But we are keeping our fingers crossed!! I am so proud of him and amazed by his strength to do all he...
- The exhaustion of all that is going on in my life is starting to effect my health and my ability to be calm cool and collective. Maybe I just ask for to much? Maybe I shouldn't expect others to be as selfless as I am. Maybe its wrong for me to be so...
- If you want your 17 year old daughter (18 in one month) to succeed in life or even just show some kind of independence. You should show her and teach her. Because doing her laundry, giving her no chores or structure is not going to do anything for...
- My father is still fighting with chemo. He continues to have success and we keep praying that every round of chemo will keep killing that cancer away! He heads in for round 6 today. The doc says he will keep going until there is a reason to stop. I...
- I think I might have more of a insight of why I have such ill feelings for my SD, or not even ill feelings just the fact that I get so emotional when things go wrong when it involves here. I had this dream last night, one I haven't had in some time....
- Life has been many struggles lately, despite the positive attitude I am trying to hang on to. Between my step children and their struggles, my parents, work and now my sons emotional struggles I am hanging on by a string.Yesterday my son had an...
