I’m a step mom . My husband and his son are not the problem . I’m very lucky to have an amazing husband and such a well mannered step son . The problem is his mom . Short version. She has been preaching to the choir since day one that she wants nothing but good communication and for my husband to be a part of his life as well as have a friendship with me. Perfect no problem I’m easy going and i agree with her. Well she’s a total hypocrite. For a whole year straight she never acknowledged me never looked at me and never said hi when I would acknowledge her. She lets my husband go four days in row with out talking to his son and claims she’s to busy being a mom and stop her son doing more important things then to talk to him. Just a small example she claimed her wedding date to be the same date as ours. He didnt attend our wedding only to find out her story was a lie she never got married that day. I feel like anything we do or say is wrong and we can never make her happy and we are the ones that aren’t right . A simple question such as what hospital he went to turns in to a childish shit show. We are damn if we do damn if we don’t. I’m tired of feeling this way . I’m trying to get pregnant and I feel like this stress isn’t helping me as well as I can’t be stress when I am pregnant. I also don’t want her blaming our baby now. I have fears cause she never goes away everything is negative. I understand she’s his mom and I don’t care about that I’m just frustrated of the constant negativity. Every phone call or time her name comes up it about her complaining about us. Never is it just about positive things his son is doing. It’s really taking a toll on me and how I feel about my husband and his son. I’m tryin not to let it get to me but I don’t know what else to do and I don’t want to stop supporting my husband . Please help!!! Also we have had talks with her and those don’t help she doesn’t change.
