Starting Over Talk - Peer Coaching Support Site

Please try and help me here as much as you can so that I can understand and help 2 teenagers cope with a disgruntled step-mom.She never seems to be happy or pleased with anything these children try to achieve and always puts her children from these teens first and these 2 teens are secondary.
There has to be something out there-or advice and getting her to read any books is blowing sand in the wind.Advice for her is a waste of time...esp....when she convinces Daddy-kins his kids from previous marriage are BRATS! I think this is so not good .....whatcha all think?Please give out positive thoughts and not pity-wagon excuses on her behalf...these teens are in a turmoil at present as I type this.
