[QUOTE="Tanya M, post: 711098, member: 18516"] Hi CableDawg, I'm sorry for what you are dealing with. I understand that this woman is the love of your life but my concern is her love for you. She is showing zero respect for you. Your step son sees how she is treating you. He knows that he can get away with whatever he wants. I truly think you and your wife need some marriage counseling. If she is not willing to go then you should seek out a counselor for yourself. Your wife is allowing him to drive a wedge between the two of you. I've been there. My husband is a also a step parent and the chaos my son created drove a wedge between us. One thing we did to help us reconnect was to take drives on the weekend. Our one rule was there would be no talking about our son. It was not easy at first but we managed to keep it together. You cannot force your wife to change anymore than you can force your stepson to change. The only thing you have power over is how you choose to respond to all of this. If you truly want to fight for your marriage then get some counseling. I agree with pigless 100% This is not an easy road but you can get through this. There are many here who have been where you are. Hang in there!!! [/QUOTE]
