Blended Family Blues😅

Sometimes I wonder if I bit off more than I could chew. I married my husband after three years together, blending my three kids with his two. His ex? Let’s just say she could win an award for drama. We’re still in court, fighting accusations and struggling with his eldest being alienated. Before all this, he was set on having a child together. Now, with my youngest already nine and both of us not getting any younger, I’m torn. Part of me wants to give him the family he never had, but the other part worries about our finances and his lack of motivation. I cover most bills while he pays off old debts and child support, and it’s starting to wear me down. Every time I bring up my concerns, it turns into a fight about money. I never thought our life would look like this, and honestly, I’m starting to feel resentful. Has anyone else been here? How do you handle these blended family challenges? I’d love to hear your stories and advice. 💬 #BlendedFamily #FamilyDrama #StepParenting #FamilyRelationships
