[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here.  I am really grateful that so many people posted such thoughtful and supportive replies.  (Even when support was a bit of a kick in the ass, which I need.)

I'm sorry to say that things aren't any better right now.  I took about a week and did not bring up my stepson to DH at all, not even once, just to have a week of peace with my baby and new husband.  And it actually was really nice.  But then DSS stopped by without calling to pick something up from storage in our basement, and left $40 cash toward the loan, and that led me to ask DH about setting up a more firm and definitive repayment schedule, which within 5 minutes led to DH shutting down and not speaking to me for now two days.  Which really sucks in general, and sucks even more when you have an infant to care for.

Obviously, this is really a problem between me and DH and how we communicate (or don't, at least not functionally, when it comes to my stepson) but I feel like I'm really hitting the wall here.

Anyway, I don't know what my timeline is for doing anything about this -- most days, I just function getting by with work and trying to enjoy this beautiful baby - but at some point I have to try to either fix this or make a change.  I did not sign up for the silent treatment, and I know it's not healthy for a child to grow up with conflict like this.  I'm just so, so sad and tired.[/quote]

If it continues along this path, this will not be a healthy environment to raise your child in.   [/quote]
