Okay so I'm new to the group, my name is Roseanna and my husband and I got married back in October. We had been dating for 3 years and i met his daughter when she was 2. He had her on his days off which was like two on two off. Fast forward to may of last year, we took custody of his two nephews. One was 2 years old, one was 9 days old. The parents were drug users and the kids were taken by social services.

I was enrolled in college full time and worked on my days off. Now I am mostly a stay at home mom due to baby sitter issues.

I am 100% in love with these kids. I love all 3 as my own. But lately I've been in a funk. I dont feel like myself anymore. Does any other new moms or step moms get this? It's almost like a depression.

I dont want to sound whiney or ungrateful. I'm very happy to be the mom to these kids and they make me so happy. But I feel more like I'm just mom now and not Roseanna anymore.
