writes: Dear CupidI have been married for 13 years and have to cildren ages 4 and 12. I am amrried to a man who was previously married and we live with 2 of his sons 18 and 26. My problem is with his children. They hate me. The older one who is the adult is deliberatley rude and disrespectful to me and treats me as if I am the visitor in their home. I have reached the point whree I barely talk to both of them. My husband is a total wimp when it comes to the. He talks to them in such a gentle voice and gives them money even though they are both capable of working and do not do so. The older on has a part time job which pays little and refuses to get a full time job that will support him. I am under so much stress i have been put on antidepressants. I dread leaving my bedroom in the morning because the atmosphere is always so tense you could cut it with a knife. My husband believes I am the problem. They behave like Angels when he is there or when they want money. Our budget is being stretched tight bevcause of these handouts and my husband has accused me of being money hungry and controlling when I try to keep money out of their greedy hands. I do not work because my older child is severly autistic and needs my help throughout the day.Should I leave this man? How do I go about doing it. I am an immigrant in this country and have no family here at all...and no money to go back to my country with. Does anybody have the same experience or any suggestions as to what i should do or how to go about this. Please help. I don't think I can survive in this situation any longer.
