Step Moms Only

Spouses ex wife/ baby mother has been out of child's life since child was toddler. I had been raising my step son with his father. Until visitation started. Then false dcf calls, then I got a restraining order on her. Then after I got pregnant - ex wife who claims to be "completely over" the father (my spouse) Yet throws tantrums to get her way, always includes me as the toxic obsessed jealous drama starter. Kot the one who stepped up and handled medical, dental, and sick days/nights with their child who I also consider part of me as I've been there for over 5 years. Its been so long and still battling each other, tension, and rage. But both "over" each other & it affects everyone. She's never going to stop, lies about me to make my step son think things of me - meanwhile I've been the one to ignore the lies, stay in my lane and yet in the end my now toddler son and I are treated differently by his brother / my step son. And my spouse who is "not affected... But very clearly affected because it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out something isn't right.

Curious if anyone ever feels jealous of their step child's mom because she birthed them and you can't have kids of your own so it brings out jealousy sometimes ?

Im a step mom looking for other friends who are also step moms in the dfw area ?

I just got married to my husband and have a 6 week old. He has an 8 year old daughter who’s been living with her paternal grandparents since she was one year old. She’s going to start living with us and I’m super nervous. She has many behavioral issues but her mom is not involved at all. Any advice?

Hi ladies, So I need abit of advice, My husbands son has just turned 18 I’ve been in his life since he was 13 and things are just getting worse 🙈 So he lives with his mum and she’s absolutely off her head - believes in some very crazy things like people live in your tv and give you virus’s like colds and flus, he’s not allowed to see doctors because they will make him ill and a lot more! She was still dressing him and brushing his hair at the age of 16! Which is very worrying? He comes over to us and he doesent speak unless spoken to.. doesent clean up after himself just dumps stuff in the sink, leaves his bed stuff all on the sofa, doesent interact with his half brother and sisters, won’t get a job I keep saying what are you going to do now college has finished and you jsut get don’t know but expects us to pay for everything! My husband is paying for his driving lessons and he expects us to buy him a car and fuel insurance ect.. he said he doesent want a job because it’s long days and doesent like people :/ we are taking him on holiday in December and he’s said he’s excited to go because he wants to see his wheels on his suitcase roll not about the holiday itself :/ My husband thinks he has autism or something. He doesent self care like won’t get his hair cut just wants his mum to do it and she literally just does a bowl cut! We have bought him shavers to shave his hairs and stuff and nice clothes but nothing goes in with him, We just don’t know where to go from here and what to do? It’s awful to say but I dread spending time with him as it is very awkward and not enjoyable! We try to joke around with him but he doesent laugh or anything. Help! :(
