Juggling Two Families Where do I fit in?, Juggling Two Families Where do I fit in?

Hi, I’m Samantha, and right now, I’m just trying to figure out how to deal with everything that’s changing in my life. My mom and dad are split up, and I can’t help but feel like everything’s different now. Mom’s so sad all the time, and I miss having dad around all the time. It’s like nothing’s the same anymore.And then, as if that wasn’t enough, dad finds a girlfriend and moves her into his new house. I only get a little time with him, and now I have to share that with her. It feels like everything’s being divided up, and I don’t know how to handle it.But then, mom starts dating too. She gets serious with a guy who has kids, and now I have to deal with his two boys. They’re loud and annoying, and I just don’t know where I fit in anymore. I want things to go back to how they were – just me, mom, and dad. But it seems like every time I start adjusting, something else changes, and it just keeps piling on.The one place I can escape to is school. It’s where I feel normal, like everything’s okay, but even that feels like it’s at risk now. With all these changes happening, I’m struggling to keep up. I just need to figure it out before I lose it.I’m trying to learn how to deal with everything, but it’s all happening so fast. I really wish things could slow down a little, just so I can catch my breath and start accepting all the changes that are coming my way.
