I have no idea about my life

Hello!

I feel so tired and angry and lonely and depressed.
I feel so alone, I have no one in my life except my boyfriend and even he makes me feel alone sometimes. He yells at me for trying to have conversations about our/his daughter, I am a 22yr old stepmom to a 7yr old.
I don’t know what to do with myself.

Does anyone have any kind words for this Mumma?

You’re not alone, it’s quite common for many mums to feel alone and depressed. The problem is we seem to consume our lives with our children and forget about ourselves. It sounds like it’s time to ring up a girlfriend and have a coffee date. If you both have kids take them to a park so they can play while you get some much needed adult conversation. Take it from me, adult time away from home makes a hell of a difference

Sorry to hear this.
Apparently, because you are a step mother, there is a bias from what is expected from you, and ‘You have to abide by what we require”.
Totally Unsuitable.

My advice would be to talk calmly to your spouse/partner about your concerns, hopefully he would understand. then have him explain to “YOUR/OUR” child that there is a difference between what is wanted, and what is expected. and vice versa.

maybe your partner has indoctrinated the child, maybe not. but PLEASE talk about your concerns about what is going on.
