Unhappy
I don’t know if it’s just me but I’m extremely unhappy . I’m struggling with living the blended family life primarily because of how high conflict bm is . I often regret getting involved with someone with a child because now I feel so stuck because I brought another child into this situation . So even if I “left” now my daughter has to deal with the having a step sister that is still connected to her mom (sd not the issue btw). I hate myself . I don’t regret my daughter . I regret bringing her into all this drama that still affects her no matter how hard I fight to shield her from it all

I have this guilt, too. (Although, in my case sd is the issue, she's dangerous! 😬) My kids are angels. I moved heaven and earth to get them into this world and would do it again, but if I had a magic wand or a time machine, I'd make some changes... I didn't fail, per se, but I also have to accept it wasn't my best work 🤣
I have the same exact feeling often. From the beginning, I told my boyfriend that if we ever break up, it will be because of her. I would have my daughter all over again. I just wish I understood what I was getting into. But we have our good weeks and bad. Hopefully, you're able to communicate with your partner about how you feel and set some boundaries up. It's so hard, you're not alone.
