Money is a constant issue and with Christmas it simply exacerbates it. (pardon the pun)

Being a blended family we are having issues with money concerns being construed as some form of negative connotation concerning "step kids" these allegations are totally unfounded and completely unfair but simply implying them totally disarms me and I then am forced to abandon my original issue of monetary and support my stance on equality of the children.

Living in my In Laws house makes this a very touchy subject with my wife playing the "controlling man" and "wicked step parent" cards when she feels cornered.

I know that these arent exactly MS issues but MS is a part of my life and so is this. My wife is the primary bread winner in the house and my SSI is suplementary and I am reminded of this whenever I voice a concern about finances. I play the conventional "MOM" role in caring for the children, cooking etc. And I am not comfortable being relegated to a role of "none of my business" This has been a struggle of mine since my not being able to work in 2000.

I will write more and expand more on my life and my issues when I have more time.
