Feeling torn

Sometimes I feel resentful that I chose to marry someone with a child . Loving the child is easy . Dealing with the coparenting is what’s stressful . Not having a say in arrangements but then still being expected to live on their terms . I’m ashamed to say that I’m feeling disconnected because I’m always living waiting for when it’s our turn to have step daughter . I know she’s a big part of our lives but she’s not here often and it sucks for me feeling like I worked so hard to build my life yet I’m always on a “can’t do that we don’t have her that weekend . Or no we switched weekends or no bm won’t allow that” . It sucks feeling like I can’t be happy .

Amen to this!! My husband's ex is my least favorite part of my life. Thankfully, things are fairly civil right now. But she can be really difficult. She's a covert narcissist.

@Mei everything is always on BMs terms . So it’s not even that I don’t care/ love step daughter it just becomes really challenging when I have to live my life on terms that I have no say in . It’s really hard. As a step mom I feel like it’s my job to be loving and supportive when I’m able but I don’t feel like it should run my life

is there anyway this can change about you not having a say in the schedule? are you able to speak with your husband about this?
