[QUOTE="hearts and roses, post: 384971, member: 2211"] [SIZE=3][COLOR=darkslateblue]{{{Jen}}} Add my H to the list of guys who also had a difficult time with difficult child and me being attached at the hip. Unfortunately, there are times when our children do come first. I am sure a marriage counselor would try to argue the point but it's true. My parents raised 5 kids together and they were both the bio parents, so it has nothing to do with being a step/blended family. When your child needs you - as a mother - you are there for her. Period. Right now, your girl needs you and H needs to respect that and understand that being there more for your daughter right now does not displace him as your H. Perhaps he should review what it means to be married - you support one another and love and trust one another to understand why the other person is doing what they are doing...I could go on, but you get the idea. You do what you gotta do when you gotta do it - simple. It IS stressful for the whole family, but H should be acting as a mediator with the other children to help them cope rather than adding stress to an already stressful household. I'm sorry he's not seeing things that way.
