Another Strange "Coincidence"

la_dulce_vida's picture

Friday I got a notice that a movie had been rented on my Amazon Prime account. I texted my DD30 first since we live together. She didn't do it. I asked my sons but I kinda already knew they didn't have access to my Prime Video account. Wasn't them.

While there is a slight chance I used my Amazon Prime somewhere at an airbnb, I am fairly certain it was my XBF because I know for sure I logged into it on his TV.

Finally cleaning out SD's room

DH is finally clearing out the final remnants in SD24’s!!! bedroom. This has been a looong process of DH purging an excessive amount of toys and her personal belongings. I refused to be the “bad guy” and do it for them so her messy and cluttered room sat untouched for many, many years. I just closed the door.

Just sad and disappointed.

I've been trying SO hard to keep a more positive attitude regarding SD12 lately and not letting her behavior effect me and this morning it's come crashing down and I'm just sad and dissapointed so this is just a vent post.

Its baby shower day! I'm so happy.....then...... SD12 drama happens and now I'm grasping at whatever I can right now to keep a positive attitude and put this out of my mind so I can enjoy my shower and the family and friends that will be there that WANT to be there for me and my family. 
 

I called CPS on BM

So after finding out that BM knew her new bf was a perv, and discovering the cops won't do shit about it, I called CPS. 

BM's daughter was interviewed at school by a social worker, she was staying at her dad's since the night before. My SS14 was home for the day because BM was working and couldn't pick him and his brother up from school. SS14's school is within walking distance but he claims he had to babysit his brother. Although his brother usually babysits their little sister so that made zero sense to me. 

over 4 dollars

As it stands, we've been coexisting in our little studio for now. It's a little cramped since we didn't expect DH to get into a trucking accident so soon, but we're keeping busy.

Yesterday DH gets a call and being the place is so tiny, I could hear him speaking low. I went up to get something and to confirm if he was on the phone and he's there asking "how much is it for your card?" and then "okay, I'll send it now", then "Love you too". Won't make eye contact like a scared puppy. 

See A Fight Coming This Summer

SS12 has been playing football since he was 5. BM made this her hill to die on to prevent additional long distance visitation, citing that SS couldn't miss football in the summer to be with DH. The courts agreed. So, per our CO, we are entitled to 4 weeks of summer visitation, which is SUPPOSED to be exercised in two 2 week blocks, but the CO gives BM the power to break it up, if it interferes with sports. The CO states that DH HAS to accommodate it, no choice. So unfortunately, BM has all the power to dictate our summer visitation and we essentially have to agree. It sucks.

I don’t understand this man

Somebody help me understand this man. 

As luck would have it the subject of Goofy came up today while talking with DH

You might assume... given how Goofy treated his daughter... with the cocaine use and the allegations of physical and emotional abuse... that DH would be pretty angry at Goofy.... but, you'd be wrong!

Well, well, well.......

So, SD has been away at college and we have had super limited contact which has been amazing!  The few times we have had to see her....

!).  We went to Parent's Weekend at her college (it is about 5 hours away).  She and her "boyfriend" (will discuss this in a bit) had lunch with us on Friday and that was pretty much the amount of time she spent with us.  We sat down at lunch and she immediately said that my sorority is a bunch of drunk sluts and all they do is party.  ;)  BM was also on campus that weekend... so you can imagine how lovely that was.
