Angry beyond words

kisses-n-kream's picture

I am so angry right now!!!! I am completely out of patients which for me is very unusual. I am normally the most patient, mellow, happy, and understanding person you will ever meet. But NOT right now!! My H's ex is using their children to try and manipulate him and cause trouble for the whole family. Not unusual or uncommon, I am sure. I have five other children and she is trying to say that my four (we have one together) are picking on and make sexual advances on her three. (SICK SICK SICK!!) It is one thing to attack me or even to attack my husband but to attack my children...

I think I have it pretty good :)

Okay so I can complain with the best of them and I have my fair share of problems but after reading some of the blogs and forums I think I am lucky.
I really like my SK's. Do they drive me crazy, occasionally, are they sometimes rude, yes, but they try in school and don't drink much,don't do drugs (that i am aware of), no stealing, so I think that is pretty good right.

BM violates visitation orders-advice?

LaMareOssa's picture

Lastnight DH was supposed to get SD for his 2 hour visit from 6-8PM. He gets a text at 430PM from BMs father saying theyre having car trouble again and wants DH to drive 45 minutes to their office to get SD. DH has done this in the past, but now theyre taking advantage of it. DH said no, it's not in my plans or budget to drive all the way there and back. DH gets a call from BMs father asking why he can't come get SD, DH explains again that it's not in his plans or budget this week. BMs father says well I have no options, DH tells him that actually, he does.

Bus.... very long...

I went to the school early this morning and then to the Police Station. I met with the Vice Principal who I had called on Monday confidentially about all of this. She was not aware that my son had been called in to the office. So she got his counselor to come in to the office and discuss it. I asked to speak to SD's counselor as well, but was told that is confidential. Apparently, after my DH tried to get BM to tell SD to leave BS alone, she (BM) went and filed a complaint against my son. SD was called into her counselors office and my son in his.

Electronic Calendar Saga

BettyRay's picture

I haven’t posted in the longest time. Things have been crazy busy. This issue has been going on for what seems like forever. Has anyone else experienced this?

BM set up an e-calendar about 4 years ago when she changed jobs. The purpose of the calendar was so that DH would know when we have SSons and what activities they have going on. As the PP is based on BM’s work schedule and BM’s work schedule changes every 6-weeks. The e-calendar sends DH and BM an e-mail at the beginning of every week with a link to that week’s schedule.

I'm on his side not BM does he not know that?

I understand the saying I can say something bad about someone in my family but no better else better or ill kill their ass. But this morning was not the right time- I told my H the same thing he told me word for word but I was wrong how the hell is that? So if it comes from your mouth its right but from mine its wrong? I told him I have gone though to much I'm not doing it with him. I said remember I'm on your side! When he does that I feel like he is teaming up with BM and I'm the bad guy! Grrrrr! He doesn't do it a lot or even often but when he does it cuts deep. What do I do?

Face book and skids

purpledaisies's picture

I posted a while back that my step sons unfriended me on face book. I didn't believe they were the ones that did. I was right I talked to the ss15 last night on face book and he had no idea and added me back. I do believe him at this point. The whole thing didn't make since as Bm would send texts about my face book and said that the boys showed it to her. How can they show it to her if they are not my friends anymore? Of course dh would tell her it was none of her business. Of course I had my private settings on. I think Bm was the one messing with their face books.

New to this forum and seeking some sanity:)

I am married 5 years (together 7) to a widower with two SD. They are now 22 and 19 and they make my life so hard. They are disresptful to me, dismiss me and my DH doesn't see it and says its me. Ihave raised them supported them as if they were my own as their mother has passed. My DH was single for 3 years before we met. His children are so mean to me but when he is around they are nice and so it seems I am the one with the problem. I never wanted to take their mothers place (nor could I) but to not be respected is very hard.

O/T Punch Bowl

ThatGirl's picture

This is way off topic vent, and kind of a weird coincidence, since Gilly was just asking for punch recipes...

My mother sent an email to me and my sister, stating that my Great Aunt is downsizing and moving into a condo. Auntie wanted my mother to ask if one of us would like to have my Great Grandmother's punch bowl. Of course I would like to have it, as this was the punch bowl used at my wedding shower, reception, and baby shower, plus every Easter and Mother's Day celebration since I can remember.
