Struggling with my feelings
I’m posting on here for advice and words of encouragement . I think it’s taken a lot of self reflecting to come to realize that I’m struggling with being a step mom . All the coparenting struggles to being selfless all the time . To seeing my own daughter having to miss out on things In order to entertain my step daughters best interests . For the record I do care for and love my step daughter but I’m struggling with being this person that is constantly giving and pouring . I feel like I’m pouring from nothing . I have nothing against her I’m just not happy . Even with the struggles of being a step parent I do what’s right because obviously I’m the adult and she’s the child and it’s the right thing to do but it makes me question if I’m just not cut out for this life …

@Alyssa I’m struggling and I find myself feeling a lot of resentment . Idk how to deal with these feelings
Being a step parent is not easy. If you do some research you’ll learn that most aren’t happy with the life they have chosen and actually regret dating someone with children and becoming a step parent. I have two step kids. 10 and 9 and I have nothing at all against them. I love them and they’re great kids and amazing siblings to my two children but the whole situation is really hard. Every thing that comes with being a blended family is hard. I think your feelings are valid and it doesn’t make you a bad person.
