I feel she drains me and always has to the point I can’t spend time with him. I am exausted. Be a consultant, not a CEO.Tess Brigham, an LMFT (licensed marriage and family therapist) from the Bay Area, says this phase of parenthood is not about running the company and being in charge of their life as you were when they were a dependent but, instead, parenting adult children may mean offering expert advice and guidance that adult children can implement.My situation is my spouses adult daughter who is 24 going on 25. She most certainly does not pull her weight. In the 2 years that I have been living with him and her and that is including my 2 out of the 3 kids. Honestly I have tried to approach this situation multiple times and in different manners. I think truthfully I am upset with both of them because she kind of had hit me with personal things when it came to her dad and her mom or her dad and her ex step mom.

Their marriage lasted for ten years, but; my mom divorced him, after finding out that my dad was in reality a bisexual man living a double life style. She discovered that he was having a secret relationship with another woman and a man at the same time; while he was married to my mom.. That was the last straw that broke the marriage, and for more than seven years, my mom was all alone dealing with me.

She now is pregnant with her third child a little girl, due in two months. I am at a loss in knowing which way to turn. It is constant turmoil with her step dad of fourteen years.
