Recently we had to kick out her husband due to the fact that he is doing drugs,which is a no-no in my house and family.she herself just got out of a 25 day stay in prison for not paying fines...with all this our income is supporting her and her children stil til she gets on her feet..mean while not even 24 hours home and she leaves to meet him so he can see the kids....even though he is the reason she sat in jail and he got out when his brother bailed him out...HOW DO I KEEP PEACE IN THE HOUSE EVEN THOUGH I AM SO VERY ANGRY CAUSE OF HER DOING THAT AND CAUSE I KNOW SHE IS GOING BACK WITH HIM ...EVEN THOUGH SHE SAYS SHE ISNT...HOW DO I JUST LET GOD TAKE OVER AND DO ALL I HAVE TO DO AS A SAHM AND NOT LOOSE MY COOL AND CAUSE MORE STRESS?

You need some support group help. Al-Anon can help you learn to keep the focus on yourself and not your sister and her husband. Seriously, check it out. They can help you with this.

All the best,

All I can say is, take it

Submitted by jennye on Tue, 07/31/2007 - 5:11am.

All I can say is, take it one day at a time. Circumstances as they are, you can't plan ahead. I have a stepbrother who is in and out of jail (doing 10 months right now, parole violation. got caught with drugs, again). It's hard on my mother and stepfather, who he always falls back on. At least he doesn't have any family, it's only himself. But still, things change so much from day to day, you can't plan ahead. Just try to keep up with daily things to maintain the chaos. With all those children running around, it won't be easy. In fact, dang near impossible. But it will end up being a learning lesson for your children eventually. And when it's finally down to just your clan, you appreciate how "normal and peaceful" your own little family really is.

and you can always come here to vent and get some support! Welcome!
