My SO told me last night that he had a conversation with my SS about his BM. Apprently she cries so much and so loud that SS goes up to his room and plays video games or watches TV to drown it out. WHat kind of environment is that for him to grow up in? So frustrating when there is nothing we can do....FCS already told us they don't care about his 'well-being' only if he is being neglected or abused. And since BM maintains a roof over his head and food in his belly all is good in their eyes.
All the kids got an e-mail addy until oldest sd decided to start sending e-mails and registered an e-mail to a different server without parental permission...the e-mails were my idea and i helped them all set up, so i deleted them all because it cause friction between dh and bm.
SO a while later, sd admited to us about setting up a new account and said "you would've never known had i not told you" REALLY is that the game we're gonna play? (mom does not monitor her actions closely)
Thank you all for your words, I just can't stop feeling miserable about this situation.
SD5 is going to her bio dad's for Christmas. This is her first time going with him for the holiday, and will be the first time she hasn't spent Christmas (which is a huge celebration) with my fiance's family about 3 hours away.
SD is really sad that she won't be spending Christmas with us and with her brother. But...this was sort of expected as her bio dad has become more involved in her life and it is truly how things should have always been.
I just want to say, that since I've found you, I feel more sane and confident than ever. I don't even care if what you say, it's the fact that you spend the time to support me and even bother to respond to my posts.
Everyone hang in there and know you're appreciated by at least one person: me!!! 
Ok, I'm a bit confused on how to proceed with this.
She doesn't call, she texts. Not often. Usually its about setting the schedule of dropoff, and to try and find the way to dump the kid on us during his holidays.
Every time she texts, its 'please call' only. He immediately calls as soon as he sees the message.
Its starting to bother me that whenever she decides she wants to talk to him, he needs to drop everything and call her to see what she wants. What the hell is with that?
Oh, today was no exception.
Well, I think for a moment things have changed and then BAM! I am hit with something else. Being 7 and 1/2 months pregnate, I like to think I am just emotional, but talking with a close friend she said she would be the same way and shes not pregnate.
I just worked my ass,sorry for the cursing, off trying to get my 13 yr old step daughters room ready so she could move into it before the new addition came along. She has been in the room for about two weeks and it already smells like a sweaty dirty something.
Quick update:
We decided to hold off on getting married and moving in together. I'm glad I made the decision because it has made us closer. I am realizing now how hard all of this is on him and the kids... I even feel sorry for BM who seems to be very confused and bitter and acting on repulse.
So last week we had SS 8.5 - He will be with us on Christmas day as well.. "whoopie".
So for the few of you who follow my blog, you would know everything in our house is locked down... everything with food that is...
Nope, not the skids who uttered that phrase to me, but my DH.
I'm still so stunned by his revelation, I can barely breathe. I've cried so much I don't know how I have any tears left inside.
