Well now DH is scheduled to go to court again for the 4 time for the very same contempt case against BM. A short recap - BM has been alienating DH since beginning of SDs life. Several cases back and forth to fight for visitation, custody, money.... all very tiring to even discuss again really.
Ok
I wonder if there is any Christian advice out there for me. I am struggling to love and accept my stepchildren (son 15, daughter 12). They are so different from me and they make me really anxious and to be honest embarrassed sometimes. My stepson argues with everything I say or with anything anyone says and my step daughter loves telling any guests we have of my faults. Both are loud and obnoxious a lot and my home has always been quiet. I pray for patience and kindness and for God's love to flow through me. Most of the time I can endure and I try to be encouraging but I am tired.
Alright...we can't come to an agreement on this...and I won't set a date anyway until we move out of the crazy house.
My reasons for not wanting children in the wedding or ANY children at the reception -
1. I think receptions are for adults...it's a night for couples and single people to get out, mingle, laugh, drink, dance, and have a blast to celebrate a marriage. My parents used weddings as their escape and a night for "them" when we were little. We NEVER attended weddings with them.
So BM hands-off my kids to me Friday night and she planned for them to spend Saturday night at their aunt's house, you know, so they could spend time with their cousin. Besides which, she has something she wants to volunteer for on Sunday morning. So, really, what she wants to do is dump the kids off, because their cousin - wait for it - wait for it - is four years old. BS and BD are 11 and 9 respectively. Can we please be serious? She just wanted to put the kids somewhere so that she wouldn't have to take them with on Sunday. This, at face value, is fine.
SD was over for the weekend. Some of her amusing comments included...
~ "When I'm having fun with you guys, I forget about my mom."
~ "My mom might get kicked out of her job."
~ "I don't know if I'm ever gonna get a stepdad," (not likely... lmao)
Just when it seems like this weekend's visit was going well, ss shot his bb gun (playing around) at our door and completely shattered our glass door!! Glass was everywheredh spent an hour cleaning it up to make sure the baby doesn't pick up any glass pieces as she crawls around. Ss said there was nothing in his gun. And there wasn't anything in there all weekend because the boys played with it yesterday and never had any bb's. But 'nothing' doesn't shatter a glass door and ss was the only one outside. We were in hw kitchen and could hear something hit the glass. Dh is pissed. Obviously.
What would you put in it?
At work we have two men who were completely blindsided - or so they say - by being served divorce papers. It seems here too some of the DHs are shocked when their significant other has a foot and a half out the door. I couldn't help but wonder why this is? I've had several girlfriends divorce - they all knew it coming, "been waiting for years". Do we as women communicate that poorly? Is that why some of us have trouble getting the changes we want in our homes?
well hubby did come back Friday night. Left with his daughter again Saturday morning. I called him around 1 he said he wasn't coming home, and to leave him alone.
Its Sunday 11 am .....haven't called him since he wants me to leave him alone. I dunno...
Came thisclose to calling him, but, if divorce is what's coming, I better get used to not seeing/talking to him.
I'm very sad right now, but I can't see myself shoving all my emotions down and sucking it up, just to be with him.
Oh yeah, I'm 5 months pregnant, so that makes it more complicated.
Fuck.
