Remember the STEPCHILDREN THREAD

lovecoach · Dec 22nd, 2007, 12:25 AM

well I finally made the decision to move out. I have a great new job, and this morning my dh told me that if I can't handle his relationship with this kids that It would be the best thing to do for me to move out. He said that he will never understand my feelings and that He is not going to change. I have a moving van lined up for 10 am tomorrow (sat) morning. I have my house ready to move in, so I will be in my new or Old home Sat. night.

Oh, How are you feeling about this? I'm guessing 'bittersweet?' Honestly, I don't think this was something that was ever going to be resolved (to both of your satisfactions), but I'm worrying about what you're feeling now that it's a done deal. ***HUGS*** - If you need them, and even if you don't think you do.

Good for you! You should NOT have to take care of GROWN kids! He seems to be babying them but who will be there when he is old and has to be taken care of? He is probably blind with love.

Good for you honey. I'm proud of you for deciding not to be his OR his kid's doormats. He didn't respect you, and you knew it. Good luck with your new place. I keep you in my thoughts and prayers.

I am relieved that you are finally able to begin to put this situation behind you. I applaud you for getting away from a very toxic environment --- you are doing the right thing. You are one brave woman! Best wishes to you in your new home and new life.

Best wishes to you.

I wish you the best of luck. I read through your previous thread and I know you came to the decision that was best for you. You deserve much better, and I hope you find it.

dallas · Dec 22nd, 2007, 05:13 AM

Your new, wonderful life awaits you. The best is yet to come. Good luck and hugs.

Congratulations! I'm sure he had his good qualities but in this case he is an idiot. I'm glad you are a strong woman and can be happy (soon) on your own.

DenimShopaholic · Dec 22nd, 2007, 10:43 AM

I'm so proud of you, it took a lot of strength and courage to do what you did. So many women would just stay.

When a man tells you point-blank that he won't change, and won't even try, what choice does he leave you with than to leave?

It may well turn out to be the best holiday gift you could ever give yourself!

lulilu · Dec 22nd, 2007, 10:49 AM

I remember the thread well. You are embarking on a whole new phase of your life. Best wishes.

gillianna · Dec 22nd, 2007, 10:51 AM

I wish you the best. It sounds like you can move forward with your life and realize that there is more to life than expecting to be abused by his kids. I am sure you will have some adjusting but just to have peace and quiet in your life will be worth it for your sanity.
HUGS.
