Now I understand that once you have a stepmother, your biological father will also become your stepfather. 🤦‍♀️🍿

Lately, I’ve been stuck in this whirlwind of trust issues—between my dad, his new family, and even my fiancé. After my dad chose his new wife over me, I helped them get a house nearby (yep, I paid the downpayment—ironic, right?). We agreed on Sunday dinners, but I drew the line: his new family isn’t welcome in my home after what his wife said about my mom. The trust cracks didn’t stop there. My fiancé and I had to talk about boundaries, privacy, and even signed a pre-nup (he was cool with it, but still, it stings that we even needed one). Sometimes I wonder if I’m just being paranoid, or if I’m right to guard my space so fiercely. I’m angry, confused, and honestly, just tired. How do you rebuild trust after it’s been shattered? How do you stop questioning everyone’s motives? If you’ve been through this, I’d love to hear how you coped—because right now, I’m just trying to keep my head above water. 🥲🙃🤷‍♀️ #TrustIssues #FamilyDrama #RelationshipStruggles #RomanticRelationships
