For those "Steps"....

I'm writing this blog about my day to day experiance and feelings in being a Step Parent figure. I hope that by my writings I can help other step parents or step parent figures. I'm also hoping that maybe I can get some help as well.
Being a step parent is difficult...I'm starting to now see that. And I think that by blogging about this life I have aquired, I can not only help myself but others as well.

With all that said, how about you meet my family....Robert (27) is my loving boyfriend, His two boys Matt (6) and Chris (4), and Me (21).
Me and Robert started dating on Oct 31st, 2008, we live together and do most of the raising of the boys. Matt and Chris went under Roberts residential custody November of 2008 due to problems Roberts ex-wife was dealing with. Since then, we've created our own little family.

And thats just a brief early history of our family, read on to see more...

Help?

I've spent a lot of today and yesterday deciding on what to make my second post about. Do I rehash all that has been said and been happening this last month, or do I start fresh? I was think that I'd talk about loneliness one can feel when being a step parent and being around the original family (the biological mom and dad and kids), but I'll save that for another post.
I still wish to talk about loneliness, but on a different aspect. Here lately I've felt lonely and depressed. I want so bad to talk to someone about my feelings, but who would understand? Who can understand the problems of being a step parent? I know a few step parents that maybe able to help, but the ones I know either won't be able to be objective or haven't been in the situation that I'm in.
Well I did a google search of "Step parent blogs" and I've come to two sites that I hope may be able to help. I haven't joined them yet, but I really think I will. They are: 1. step talk and 2. Stepmothers Milk
I think the later one is what I'm most excited about. She seems to have been in the exact situation I am in now. She was a single lady, then started dating a man with two boys, and then became a mom. I'm really hoping that I can get myself to feeling better with these sites. I can't stand this mood I'm in.
It'll be nice to know (and I mean by name) that there are other people out there that are experiencing my issue, or have experienced it in the past. I just really want to know if the feelings I have are normal, and how to deal with them. That's all I really want right now.

Well here's to hoping,

A step figure
