[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You and your spouse broke your original families and then got together. Your punishment for causing pain to everyone is that your blended family will always harbor resentment! You have lost your family. Sorry but your own fault. [/quote]

NP - While I think this statement is on the extreme side, I agree with the general sentiment that actions have consequences. There is a reason there is an ideal of an intact family. In life, we almost always fall short of ideals. But there is a reason we try to come as close to them as possible. It is dangerous to try to pretend that deviations are somehow just as good, when they are in fact flawed, challenging, and at times unfair to many involved. OP and her DH having an infant is really the icing on the cake of narcissistic self-indulgence and la-la land thinking.

I have no comment on OP, don't have a blended family...but, I kind of think this statement applies to all of us who have children, regardless whether it's your 'first' family or not:
