What have I done to my life?
Two years ago, I was a 28 year old bachelor living in my own house with a steady job and no debt aside from my mortgage. I started dating a girl with two children (daughter 8 and son 6). I ended up getting her pregnant out of shear stupidity. She pressured me to have her and her children move in with me and I agreed. It all happened so quick and unexpectedly, I didn't have time to think. Plus I didn't want to be that guy that gets a girl pregnant and doesn't have anything to do with the child. The day she moved in, all hell started breaking loose. Gone were the days where I could come home to quiet after a long day at work. Her kids would constantly fight and we had different ideas on parenting. I found it hard to discipline her kids since they weren't mine but slowly began to play the "Dad" role. They obviously started resenting me and she would always tell me I was wrong to try to discipline them so I stopped, hoping it would resolve itself. We fought constantly. When it was time for her to have the baby, I was vehemently against giving him too many vaccines. She just rolled her eyes and said "you're not a doctor, what do you know?". Fast forward to today, he's been in the ER no less than 10 times for all sorts of ailments (asthma being the most extreme). Most recently however, he's been diagnosed with autism. I'm devastated. Broke. In debt. In danger of losing my job. In a crammed house. Girlfriend with no ambition to work a full time job. All because of that one careless night. I feel so drained. The only thing that gives me any motivation is my son but I feel I'll be fighting a constant battle now.

I will do my best. I can't let him down. I fantasize sometimes of just being able to raise him by myself. I never thought I'd ever feel that way but I do.

So do it.

Leave her with her kids and take your son, or share custody.

Find a nice girl with no kids to help you and settle down with her.

Re: What have I done to my life?
I really feel for you. She purposefully roped you in to a shitty situation to make herself more comfortable. From what you said, it doesn't sound like she cares about you, or your opinions. Don't go doing anything stupid like signing adoption papers, or marrying this woman. You're already on the hook for one kid with this woman. Just get out. You don't have to stay with this awful woman in order to be a good dad. Run...

Split from the girl. Raise the child yourself, keep working don't lose that job. It can ALL be done, women do it everyday (I'm a woman), it is tiring, difficult in every imaginable way, but it can be done. I really doubt this would work out between the two of you.

Look to God and ask Him to help you make the right choices. He is our father and loves us, just as you love your son. He can help you find what you need. Good luck my friend and stay strong for your family.

Re: What have I done to my life?
Being a stepparent is the most miserable, soul-sucking, thankless, bullshit situation you could ever get yourself into. I know, I've been there.

I'm not sure what advice to give you because it's never going to get better until the mom makes them behave and show you respect.

Sorry you are living this hell.

Yes, a few months after she moved in with me, that conversation came up. She had only been with two men in her life. Her ex husband cheated on her and she left him. She's not a girl that sleeps around.

Most of us would had done the same OP, we don't know better.

I listen to Tom Leykis and he reminds men everyday of the danger of women out there. Always wrap up and especially don't date single moms - they had no problems getting pregnant the first two times, they'll do it again.

Re: What have I done to my life?
Just think about it OP

the poorer you get ; the more pissed off she will get and maybe just leave.

Why would it be so bad to loose your home ? Or just sell your home right now and move out.

WHat is stopping you? She isn't part of the home process is she?

There maybe a silver lining in material loss for you right now.

Whoa dude ... definitely make sure. Especially if the kid has a lot of genetic problems which don't run in your family.

Re: What have I done to my life?
Be a man and ditch her. You have your own life to live. It sounds like you had a lot going and you still may have a chance to regain it. A lot of people will disagree with what I am saying. Do you really want to spend the rest of your ONE and ONLY life all miserable. You do not have to put up with any of this, you are choosing to. Forget what anyone else thinks or how they will judge you for leaving this situation. Think about yourself.
