Stepmums!!

Does anyone else have a really hard time being a stepmum? I’m pregnant and my partner has a son from a previous (toxic) relationship. He is no problem, lovely boy. His mum… refuses to acknowledge me as a person (I’m not expecting to be best friends), she acts as if I’m not present, won’t look at me, she’s shouted at me when I’ve answered my own door. HOW do you cope?!

How long has it been? It used to be th same way with my partners ex, but now it’s been 3 years and we just had a baby, and she’s starting to come around. She’s stopped ignoring me/making jabs at me, and it’s relatively pleasant when we’re in the same room now. It’s almost like she’s finally gotten used to the idea that he’s not going back to her, so she may as well accept that I’m going to be around for a while, so she can either make it pleasant or not. In the past I’ve just ignored her crap and joked with my partner about how toxic she is toward me now, rather than him. It’s been a LONG road, but it’s totally worth it!! Just know it’s nothing to do with you as a person. It’s her insecurities and anger toward the situation as a whole. You got this mama. Know you’re stronger than her, and in the end, your happiness is worth WAY more than the shit she could ever throw your way. 💖

Ooh girl. You can message me anytime to vent or talk. But I do not get along with my stepsons mother at all! I loathe her with every fiber of my being. She’s a horrible person and the worst mother. The things she puts her kids through is ridiculous. She’s tried to attack me, calls me bitch and whore in front of her own sons and manipulates her sons. She’s even put her own kids in danger. But she thinks she’s mother of the year. I don’t condone in mom shaming but she’s an absolute nightmare. She even tried to hurt me while I was pregnant with my daughter and told her sons I was faking be pregnant. I haven’t done anything to her and it’s so hard sometimes bc she hates my fiancé and I guess hates me and tries To make everything so difficult for us. Which makes everything hard for them. She couldn’t even look and me or say my name for the longest time. So I get it and I wish I said it gets better but we are going on year 3 and I haven’t seen a light at the end of the tunnel unfortunately.
