My life has turned upside down in the last 4 years, so many changes, that I don't know where to begin. The biggest issue is lack of communication with my husband. The last time (of many) that I tried to explain my feelings to him and enlist his help in getting our marriage back on the right track, I ended up envisioning myself on the bathtub floor slitting my wrists. I don't believe in suicide and would never do it. But when I talk to my husband he twists everything I say around and the whole conversation becomes about him. Other issues - my husbands teenage daughter moved in with us 3 years ago due to problems. My teenage son, moved in with us 5 months ago due to different issues. My husband has always been "daddy" to our children, but never a real father, so the entire role of parenting has been thrown on me. Of course, his daughter thinks that I'm the wicked stepmom. In the meantime any physical and emotional closeness with my husband has gone out the window. I work full time, I come home and cook and clean and help our youngest child do homework. I've gained a lot of weight, have no life and no self esteem and the one person that I should be talking to is either incapable or unwilling to listen. I know that I've been rambling, but I guess that I just need to get this out to someone. Thanks for listening!
