[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Step kiddo 27 was a “promising student” in school but hasn’t been much successful. Graduated from college with niche/unhelpful major, tried out the job rodeo (failed), now moving back in with us. I don’t support it, you’ve gotta move out and find yourself in that way, right? It’s what I always did and I turned out I just fine if I do say so myself. But DH claims that I “never saw [step kid] as my own kid” and that’s what’s fueling my feelings. Well no, I saw my step kid as my step kid. All right and so what? The issue I need your helps with is encouraging my STEP child to move out while avoiding drama with DH. [/quote]

Maybe you should move out? Find yourself in that way? It would be a kindness to both your husband and his child. Because, frankly, you sound like a festering, rancid twat. [/quote]
OP here. Excuse me?[/quote]

Ignore. They are a bunch of exwifes who hate Stepmoms.[/quote]

[b]The wicked stepmother archetype exists for a reason.[/b] Not all stepmothers are terrible, but they aren’t doing much to hold up their side in this thread. The total lack of concern for SK and the race straight to DIVORCE him and take all MONIES is not a good look.[/quote]
Op here and right away this tells me all I need to know about you. Gross, ignorant. I’m not wicked, and I’m a good parent and a good stepmom.[/quote]

You probably actually believe that about yourself.

The rest of us see you for who you are. [/quote]
OP here. That’s rich. You don’t know me at all.[/quote]

OP, you're very defensive in this thread, where if you've been on DCUM for any time, you know you're going to get nasty and unhelpful replies.  But you choose not to ignore them and come out swinging, which doesn't help your case that *you* aren't part of the problem in the situation you've posted about.[/quote]
