I've finally decided that I can no longer remain silent. Writing can be therapeutic, and that's precisely what I need right now. After nearly two years of marriage to the most wonderful man on the planet (ok, I'm a little biased), I sadly can't simply revel in the fact that he opens doors for me, does the dishes, folds my clothes, and takes my opinions seriously. What's holding me back? My 15-year-old stepson, Trevor, who has told me that it's his goal in life to ensure Andrew and I get a divorce. As a result of his antics, my stress level is through the roof, and I'm no longer sure how to handle the situation. It's my hope that through this blog I will not only be able to release some of my pent up tension but also seek the help of other stepmothers who can offer sound, Christian advice.
In order to protect everyone involved, names (and likely some details) will be changed, but I can assure you that the emotions behind the blogs will be fully real and fully mine. Together, perhaps, we can lean on one another and get some much needed support for this misadventure known as step-parenting.

I've been married about the same time you have, and I agree step-children cause an uncalled for amount of stress. I'll be thinking about you and hope your situation improves.
