[QUOTE="Steely, post: 405418, member: 3301"] Please know you can vent here anytime - but I am going to suggest what I should have suggested to my fiance' many years ago. "I think you need to move out." Instead we got married, and our marriage ended 3 years later in a disastrous fiasco. The strain of him having a step difficult child was more than he could handle. In addition it made difficult child's behavior 10 times worse. This difficult child is going to take her dad's full, undivided attention - period. You living there is going to add a complication so intense it could make the daughter's behavior worse. In addition it looks like you have an 8 yo of your own - which will also reap the negative impact of a chaotic stressful living situation. Had my fiance' and I waited, and dated, I am sure we would still be together. I believe the same for you. If you move out, you will be saving your relationship with your boyfriend as well as your easy child's daughter's sanity - AND you will be helping difficult child and dad get the best help they can get without the added distractions of a step family. Many hugs - I know this is hard. [/QUOTE]
