[QUOTE="ksm, post: 690398, member: 12511"] I feel so sad thinking about WSM and how this is affecting her. I don't remember if the adult children who are going are his children, or theirs together. My husband has one adult daughter, who on the surface never got in to trouble. I have one son, who did get in to trouble with drugs. Mostly after hurting his back at 18, then having to have spinal fusion surgery at 28. Yes, he used drugs. But, after all the difficulties we went thru, he was never rude or mean or threatened us or stole fron us. But Step daughter always made me feel second class and worthless. She would ask us why we hosted exchange students, why we travelled to visit them, why spend our time and money to travel and see them. Etc... If I had to select one child to make decisions for me if I was unable to...it would be my son. Not because he is my bio child, but because he always was concerned for me... Even when things were difficult, I never questioned his concern for me... It seems like WSM's husband isn't concerned about her feelings at all. This incident is the tip of the ice berg... It is just all so sad. And I get it. I put on a happy face when DSD is around... But husband can be rather ignoring of my DS. I get it, because we are raising his kids...mostly because of a poor court system who forced this situation because the girls mom was a basket case. DS divorced her, but the court was afraid if he had them, they would have contact with bio mom... My heart hurts...for me, for WSM, for all of us dealing with the aftermath...KSM [/QUOTE]
