To those that haven't read my previous posts I am a step mom in a rather ugly battle to retain joint custody. My 2 step daughters are being fed all kinds of horrible misinformation. They are only 6 and 7. The kids are glued to me when they are here (literally). I understand they are insecure so I help them as best as I can to give them the extra attention they need and have explained to my own son that they are going through a hard time. Please don't be jealous. (he is 10) so I give him alone time when the girls have gone to bed. I am trying really hard to meet everyone's needs including my fiancee.
This weekend pick up the youngest said on the drive here "I wouldn't be sad if -{ ME }- was dead because then you would be with mommy"
1. I had nothing to do with their breakup. She had an affair and I wasn't on scene for over a year later.
2. she is telling the kids, I did repetitively which is hurting them and confusing them.
3. I understand all kids wishes their parents were together.
Knowing all of that... It still stings terribly. Yes, I know you might say suck it up they are kids and innocent and I hear you. I do.
But I am struggling with this one. It is really hard to hear that and hear the constant tantrums of the 7 year old to her dad" I hate it here, mommy is my real parent, Mommy loves me more than you".
This is so much more than I bargained for as a step mom. I love him and I want to help them all. But it is sooooo hard.
