Guest guest Posted September 29, 2010 Report Share Posted September 29, 2010 I'm still trying to get used to handling the " fleas. " When my husband gets upset with me about something, I agonize for hours and beg him to not dwell on being angry with me. It's not even his anger (he's a pretty mild-mannered person), but it's my reaction to it. I get so wound up at any anger in the house. I also upset myself when I get upset with the kids. We're about to start the adoption proceedings, and I have been helping my husband raise his kids for almost 4 years now. They are good kids, but they have some behavior issues (their mom is a drug addict who was abusing while pregnant), and I find it very frustrating sometimes. Coupled with the younger one's issues from my husband's mother taking care of her and coddling her in the process (she may be BP now that I think of it...I'll have to explore that later, but she's certainly mentally ill), there are some frustrating days. I worry constantly that I will turn out to be like Nada; I never saw good examples of discipline, so I always struggle with what to do. Oh, and of course, with the exception of Nada and my grandparents, the entirety of my FOO on my nada's side is not speaking to me because we eloped. And they wonder why..... I just wonder a lot how I'm going to have a successful family when I have no examples of such in my life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
