[quote=Anonymous]Every sympathy here, OP! Have you read the book "Stepmonster"? It really, really, really helped me to better calibrate my expectations for my role as a stepmother. I don't have any therapist recs, unfortunately, but I wondered about your custody arrangement -- every weekend is pretty unusual. That means the girls never get any downtime with their mom on the weekends, which must suck for all of you. Plus their dad never gets any time during school days. Is there any chance you could switch around the schedule? Do they live close to you? You say your husband is traveling. Is he always home on the weekends, but gone during the week? If they're with you every weekend, that means you don't get any time alone with your husband without his daughters, either, which must be really stressful for you, too. Seems like it might be useful to take another look at physical custody to see if the routine could be changed.[/quote]
