I've been explaining to FDH how I believe most of his son's behavior issues are attention-seeking behaviors...basically ever since I met him. I'm a teacher (or was before I relocated, I'm job hunting), but I typically see the behavior in high school students that I teach/coach, and I'm not sure what to do with a 3.5 year old who does things for attention. FDH hasn't really known what to do besides just kind of in general being hard on him.
I’ve been with DH for 4.5 years. Married 2.5 years. We’ve split 3 times. The longest was for about 4 weeks. Our relationship in the very, very beginning was incredible…then we moved in together after 10 months….and reality struck.
It was hard. It still is sometimes. In 2009, I had two successful IVF attempts, each to be followed by miscarriages (DH had a vasectomy during his first marriage). Hence, no bios for me.
Over the 30 years, BM and I had a rocky relationship, I won't lie to you. I did not meet her until East Texas and I had been married three years. Part of the reason was because we moved to South America shortly after we married.
I met her in my home and, yes, I fully understand how some of you feel about BM coming into your home for I felt the same way. I had no idea I was so territorial. :O
Well Saturday my husband,his oldest and myself will go to counciling. I have a feeling I am going to be the only one crying and the only one hurt. My husband told me the other day that everything will be ok as long as I did not come between him and his kids.
If you haven't seen this movie, please watch it. I hope it gives us all courage to find peace and move on, if we need to, from the craziness that we have endured...
So everything kind of came to a head tonight with DH. I have been distancing myself from his kids and DH. I love my husband with all my heart and divorce is the last thing I want. I just cannot continue to do all the work of being mom and reap none of the benefits. I told DH today that I will no longer do SS6 homework with him on BM's week. We have joint physical custody and SS6 spends one week with us and one with BM. When school started BM asked my DH "why don't you do homework with our son?" DH replies "what are u talking about?
Hi. I'm new. My DH is traveling for work last week and this week. I'm pretty sure my SD decides that when he's gone it's time to torture the SM. She doesn't have her license yet, so we get to play taxi for her to school, all her sports activities and social engagements. When DH is here, it all seems to work out better, not perfect, but better. But when it's just me trying to pick her up from school, there always seems to be a hitch. I get to her school and she isn't there.
My employer/manager calls me into her office today to talk about maternity leave. Nice conversation, then she starts with "and one more thing id like to bring up...."
Apparently "several" ppl at work have made comments that I'm "not my usual bubbly self" lately, and what's wrong with me? I'm not the "go getter" that I usually am....
I'm 6 months pregnant!! I feel tired as hell most the time, and I'm on my feet most of the day. Sorry guys, that I'm not "happy" enough for you lately.
I responded that I would try to be more "myself"...
SD4 said, "mommy told me her and daddy used to live together." She goes on to say that her mom told her I didn't always live with daddy. BM told her the three of them use to live together and they were a family. She ends this conversation by saying in the saddest little voice, "I wish we could do that again sometime."
I told her no matter where they live they both love her very very much and we left it at that. But inside I was shocked.
