[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow...I am furious with your husband!  I don't believe in trying to convince people to have children they don't want, but how awful to wait until a miscarriage to tell you he didn't want anymore.  That's awful.  It's another loss (loss of anticipation and the life you envisioned) on top of the miscarriage.   I can't help but think that if you and your husband had tried again successfully, your stepdaughter would probably have gotten over it as she got older and into her life, and all would have been well.  And if your stepdaughter felt that strongly when you got married, your husband should have discussed it with her so she wouldn't have been blindsided.[/quote]

Sure, I'm angry with him. I feel hurt and I feel abandoned by him in a lot of ways. He strung me along for almost 2 years saying we would try again before being honest with me. But the truth is that I'm married to him and don't want to divorce. as much as I wanted a child, I'd choose to stay in my marriage. He is selfish in a lot of ways but I guess I accept that about him.

And as I write this I know if I accept his flaws I should accept my stepdaughter's too. But it's different to be treated overtly meanly by someone (she'd call me "bitch" under hear breath, etc) and move forward from that than it is to move forward with someone who has been loving and never mean.

I hope some of the above makes sense. It has been a rough time.[/quote]
