Life just isn't fair sometimes.
When my husband left yesterday for a business trip, the first thing my 12 year-old step-son did was start trouble...And it escalated to a point where the child almost hit me. Thankfully, years as the youngest of six kids and because of some self-defense training, I was able to throw him off balance and back onto the couch before he could do any real damage. He did this in front of my other two girls.
Tonight, his real mother spoke to him...His reason for being like this to me? I'm "not his real mom", so he shouldn't have to listen to me.
Lovely...I'm not his real mom, but I'm the person who looks after him. I'm not his real mom, but it's my money which buys his clothes, food, electricity, water and toys. I'm not his real mom, but I'm the one who has to take off of work early when he gets detention. I'm not his real mom, but I'm the one who has to care for him and discipline him.
I'm not his real mom, but I'm the one who takes him shopping, cooks his meals, and listen to his angst.
Why is it that my natural son, who loves me so dearly, lives with his father unwillingly, and this horrendous terror of a child, whom I love dearly but who can't stand me, is the one in the house with me all the time?
I'm ashamed to say it, but tonight I desperately wish my stepson lived with his mother.
As it is, I need to pray over the situation, because I'm just not feeling the love tonight, and my heart is aching.
