    Oh my friend I feel your pain, I have a friend who is married to a woman who has 3 children from 2 other fathers, not his own. The kids are apparently are bratty and spoiled. They test his will all the time and even say in front of him to their mother, why she married him. Anyhow long to the short, your are is immensely wounded and that's where I feel for you and it makes me very sad that you are sad. I just got off a break up as well within the last week and I've been in agony. I won't get into my details except that you gotta hang in there. You're gonna beat yourself up, I have already. It is so hard to stay positive when things are so depressing. Here's a link to something I just found about 30 minutes ago and it is helping and I know that I will have to conduct this excercise frequently to actually get it working.

    I am happy that my point of view was correct. It is true that children would do anything to get attention, including negative ways. I've been watching "the nanny" (no, not that lady with the irritating voice haha), many times, it was a Belgian program about nannies and 'problem children'. I saw their how bad children would do anything to get attention, 'cause just like with adults, especially children also do what works.

    Loved your last sentence most of all ;-)

    take care xxx

    Thank you for the reply. Because of my disability dating was always a hard thing for me to do. She came into my life at time in my life when I needed some happiness and I came into hers when she needed me most. Your right about everything. I noticed a lot of unfair treatment mostly towards the 12 year old. I felt she was neglected in favor of the oldest and the youngest. I always felt she acted the way she did was because she wanted attention and any attention even negative attention was good enough for her. I had a long talk last night with some friends of mine. Our relationship started to break up when the children started taking control. I felt towards the end before I left that kids didn't like me anymore because I wasn't spending any money on them. Like you said the children have been spoiled by everyone in there life, me included. I just did what I saw her do. And being as she was a very sensitive person, I didn't know how to approach her about any problems I was having. I was always afraid to tell her when I was feeling down. The worst part is I always told her I love her, and I just felt she didn't know how much I meant it. I feel she will never have a normal relationship with anyone till she gets the three girls under some form of control. Now when we lived in my house, we had control over. I mean we had some problems here and there, but there kids they act out sometimes. But the circumstances surrounding her moving into my house, let to a major split between me and my brother, and I moved into her house instead to ease some of the damage and to get away from my brother.

    I don't hold any ill will against her children, I love them dearly but I felt my relationship was with their mother and not them, and somewhere me and Tammy lost that spark. He became to important for us to do what the kids want and I never got a moment alone to tell her my feelings. I tried to in March but I sensed she no longer reciprocated the feelings. Oh well, better to have loved and lost, then to never love at all.

    Wow. This is the longest story i have ever read on EP. I read every word of it and now I'm trying to find the right words to help you out.

    I do not blieve you did anything wrong. I have the feeling that this woman has neediness and that that is the obstacle that made her leave you. Love doesn't have any neediness. While I was reading the story I also had this feeling that her children, especially the girl with the sandwhich, is spoiled. No good. And you gave in. That's even worse. She'll scream louder if you don't give in, but after a while (a long while I believe) she'll start to get it. I only assume that young girl is being spoiled, also about the other children. That the boys are playing with fire .. hm. I know from a co-worker of mine he did just the same thing and he was an only child without brothers or sisters. I think those boys who are playing with fire are in need of more love. I think you only did everything you could do. There's nothing more that you should have done. I think things are being misunderstood and that this woman you loved, she didn't see your good intentions. I always believed relationships mostly end when two people, or one of them, refuses to understand the other persons' actions and intentions, because people only do what works, people act from their own point of views, and your point of views were probably different then hers. Ask yourself if she is the right woman for you when she doesn't understand you.

    I don't know what else I could think of to write.. I hope these few words of mine helped a bit.. Take care xxx
