Not sure where we are headed

FDH & I have barely talked over the last week and have not seen each other. The first real conversation we had was today and it didn't go well. He said that he understood why I am completely disengaged from his son, but he doesn't agree with it. Background is his son is very disrespectful and I don't think the kid cares about anyone or anything except himself. He has never been punished or had any type of consequence from either FDH OR his BM. Instead if he acts up BM usually runs out and buys him something.

Why is it people feel the need to sob on facebook about their problems?? People are such attention seekers. SD17 is pregnant and is constantly posting her sob stories on facebook. Guess she isn't getting enough attention. She has to post on facebook "missing my daddy". She makes me want to gag. When she lived with us they hardly bothered with each other and now that she doesn't live here they are always texting. How can you miss someone you talk to everyday??? When DH is home thats what he spends all his time doing, texting precious SD17. She is such an attention whore!!

Question about my legal liability when SD gets in trouble

I'm taking a break from my usual entries today, because I need to get some good advice from the folks here on ST. One of my biggest fears is that SD17 will do something that will get us in trouble legally. For instance, if she steals a car an kills someone in an accident, or gets in a fight and hurts someone. If she injures someone, and we are sued, I am concerned that I will end up being responsible for my wife's half of the settlement.

O/T Wearing my heart on my sleeve with co-workers??

Maybe I am just being a baby or maybe something has happened that has literally turned a few of my co-workers against me. I have not changed so I don't understand. I have tried to be a nice person and I never am rude or mean to anyone. I guess my biggest fault is going along and talking s**t along with the rest of them to not feel left out and to try and fit in. Now everything I say is made out to be a potential lie. Hard to explain but I am made out to be one of those people who just says things for the sake of saying them.

ot - low shot even coming from you!

stbx H got all his stuff today. we hugged a few times and he said he would drop off the signed divorce papers at my moms house. I had asked him to bring them then, but of course he didnt. Its like you supposedly already signed them, why drag it out longer than necessary? I wasnt gonna push it, thought maybe he would do it. Then I found out my aunt who is a notary would be in town tomorrow, so I text him while I was at work to please drop them off later that day. well he basically gave me the run around AGAIN saying that if I wanted them so badly, I should come and get them.

DW is supporting my disengagement

For those of you that have not read my entries, I am a step-father living with a SD17. Her mission in life is to break up my marriage. For the last few months, she consistently pushed me to the limit with her behavior. DW is a "friend" parent who doesn't enforce discipline, and doesn't allow me to parent. Up until recently, she **did**, however, expect me to help with SD17 (grades, running her around town, etc.).

'i'm bored when I come here"

This was the comment that my SS14 told my DD11 when he arrived here. he said he was tired of just sitting around watching tv. we live in a small rural town and my husband is a homebody. The BM is all over the place and they live 25 miles from our house so it's not really feasible to be running back and forth between his hometown and ours.

DD says bring your Xbox, he says it's not good for it to travel. What do you do at your moms? he says: watch tv, work out, play my xbox.

So here is what I want to say:

Dear SS,

Counting the days...

I am new to this site but would love to hear other's views and advice on how to cope with being a stepmother. My husband's children have lived with us for the past 5 years, nothing has gotten better or changed much other than me dreading to go home when I see my SD is home. Her father and I have a 3 year old son and I am 7 months pregnant. SSd is 18 and much to my disappointment has decided to attend college nearby. We live in a small town and she has effectively spread poison about me and her father to everyone she has come in contact with.
