this is complicated because we supposed 2 have a wonderful relationship me and her (my kid's step grandma...well she is my youngest blood grandma, but she is mean 2 them both equally). she yells at them and is smart and sarcastic EVERY chance she gets at them. it's begining 2 make me hurt and mad. especially because we are in such a vulnerable position. we are kind of all living 2gether and she has help us out of some real tough spots that we wouldn't be recovering from if not for her. i admit that, but she is taking the liberty 2 use that fact (i feel) 2 take out all her frustrations on my kids. from now on, i am not letting them go out anywhere by themselves with her. they can't do anything right. i am not the only one who has noticed this either. a perfect stranger (at least 2 us, who just came ) noticed this. i also will have 2 talk 2 my kids and tell them not 2 b around her as much. tell me what should i do. if i don't do anything, i will eventually just explode on her one day. sigh

Hiya Moon, Oh dear that does not sound good the sooner the situation is remedied the better. Have you tried to move out? Well I know that´s a silly question with what is happening now. But maybe if you try to move again ask for help somewhere as I don´t live there I don´t know what you have to do exactly. We had this problem trying to live with the Family of both sides and we had to move in the end to be on our own much poorer but much happier amd peaceful. We have lived in some horrendous places and worked there too at the same time but we were on our own. In the end we got used to it. It´s not a good thing for that to be happening to your Children I know. This is a kind of problem I had with certain people also. Remedy move out if you can. Good luck and take care.

thanks so much for the advice. things have improved so much since then. we were able to move out and get our own place. the step grandmom is in another state. trying to move in with us, infact. but, she can't and i woudldn't let her. not cause of the kids, only, but for different reasons.
