disengaging is liberating and I'm loving every sec!!!

So I've disengaged for a few days now. And I just LOVE IT!!! I love not having any feelings towards SD9! No more trying to win her over, no more worrying if she'll ever love me in return, no more excepting her to appreciate me and everything I do for her because I'm done doing anything for that girl. She is no longer MY problem nor my concern. I don't know why I haven't disengaged sooner, Its like a weight has been lifted of my shoulders!

First timer, but I could really use some support.

Well its 1215am and I have to go to work in a few hours and I can't sleep because we have been fighting about kids once again. I knew when I married by wife I was marrying her children also, but this has been one of the most challenging things of my life. Don't get me wrong, I love my wife with all my heart, but learning to love her children may be the death of me. Here is a brief history: My wife and I have been married for over 2 years and she has 3 children. 23y/o sd, 21y/o ss and a 12y/o sd. I have two sons 8 and 6.

Wondering what is next

Ex-fdh and I have been talking, without any success. We did meet the Friday before Memorial Day and he gave me some of the money he owed me. Then he said that this wasn't what he wanted, he didn't want it to end. We talked for a bit and I told him I wanted to be happy and I wanted the support from him if we were to even consider trying to work things out. It was like talking in circles though because he would say he agrees and then he would contradict himself and start getting all defensive over his kids (son - 18 & daughter 16).

Poor SS8!

He is diagnosed PDD (NOS) which is an Autistic Spectrum disorder. He is very tall for his age (5’9) and has a hard time making friends. He has issues with his speech and focus and tends to “spaz” out when he is tired or has a lot on his mind. He also tends to put up with a lot from other children in the hopes that they continue to like and play with him.

Ugh! BM1 is stupid!

For months now, BM1 has been texting and calling SO informing him that he HAS to take SD15 to get her learner’s permit. SO has told both BM1 & SD15 that when SD15 visits, he would be more than happy to take her up to DPS…she has not visited so she has no learner’s permit.

SO went ahead & looked into what he needed in order to get the permit for SD15 (took 3 minutes by phone)…he needs
Birth Certificate (this is all he has-BM has NEVER had a copy)
HS enrollment or last report card
Proof that the first 6 hrs of driver’s ed has been completed
