I meet my present partner
years ago, before I was even married and that was 1985. He has also
been married, and she ran off with another woman three years ago, leaving
three kids, one which eventually went with her and her new partner, one
who confronted his dad and had to leave, and one who is nearly 19 and
still at home. This is the one who hates me and will move heaven and
earth to make my life hell, knowing full well he has the full support of
his dad, who feels so guilty about the split-up anyway, can do no wrong.
We do not live together yet,
but have happily discussed this and marriage in the near future. My
problem is that my partner has told me that his kids ARE his life even
though I think they are not kids, but young adults and should be put
straight on a few things.
I'm not stupid, I've got two
kids of my own, one of 19 and one of nearly 16, who, if they do wrong, I
jump on them and let them know I am not pleased. He seems to be
scared stiff off the youngest who lives with him and lets him get away
with, completely ignoring me, hiding things, moving things, lying and
making out I am a complete idiot, which I'm not, all with his fathers
backing.
How could I ever move in and
try and make a go of, things, giving up my own home, only to be with the
bloke I love but totally unhappy. I just need him to see what's
going on and for us to be united.
