Been married now for 2 years, have 2 children from a previous marriage. To make a long story short, my current wife is referring to me as a burden as I pay so much in child support each month, I just can't contribute money wise the way I wish I could. I offer to get a second job but she says that will take me away from my responsibilities at home so then she would be mad at me for that. I feel like I'm in a non-winnable situation.
She is overlly critical of me, and states its because she is stressed because she has to face a lot of the financial burdens(which I understand). I try to lighten the load for her by doing almost all the housework, dinner prep, and shopping. This does not seem to help.
I'm just tired of being blamed for every problem in the house. Her kids act up(hers from a previous marriage), its because I'm there and they are behaving that way because I'm not doing something right as a step parent. Just need some advice on how to handle it.
