Mommy Dearest Has Ruined SD

Uddermudder123's picture

The depths to which SD17's BM can go has no bounds.  Let me preface this by stating that DH and I have not seen SD17 in months - roughly October for me and early December for DH.  BM has classic narcassistic personality disorder and makes SD17 feel guilty any time she wants to come see us apparently.  SD17 continues to not go to school but can work part time.  BM has a doctor who has prescribed SD17 meds for undiagnosed ADHD, depression and anxiety AND SD17 is addicted to weed.  Even her doctor has told her that she can't be smoking it while on the meds she is on.

So SD(16) needs braces. I JUST had my 3 teens go all the way through orthodontic braces. Driving 3 teens to monthly Ortho appointments and submitting insurance through 3 plans each and every month for 3 kids. Just paid my last payment this month and then I find out SD needs braces.

Your availability and convenience, or their need?

My DW is doing BIL2's and SIL2's taxes from 21, 22, and 23.  DW is a very high cost CPA.  BIL2/SIL2 are hard workers, make crap financial choices, don't do their taxes for years at a time.  They gave her their 20 information mid yaer 23.

My DD30 has a job!!

She had a written job offer in-hand on Friday and was due to accept or decline today at 12:30. As she was about to hit "send" to let them know she was accepting she got an email from the big fancy company (remote job, more money) asking if she was free for a phone call. She let them know that her window was only the next 30 minutes. After 15 mins, she went ahead and sent the email accepting the offer from the small company. Big company called a few minutes later to let her know they went with someone else. *whew*

Venting about manipulation

RockyRoads's picture

I am just venting because I need to.  And yes I know I need to just leave but anyway. SD gets to go across country for doing excellent on a school project. It was unexpected and is running approximately $1200 and is coming up fast.  SO gave $200 for it and was going to pay for the other $400 in a week or so. Now there is nothing that says he has to do this but it is his daughter so he was, this is fine. But then SO get a text forwarded to him from BM saying that SS final payment for travel baseball is due.

I should have listened..

The people on this blog who have replied with advice to my rants and posts were right. People said I would be dealing with my SS for a long time. I didnt want to believe it but here I am. 9 years later dealing with the same thing.  I went through so much s@#$ and trauma dealing with my SS addictions. My partner and her family continue to enable his substance abuse. There were hopeful times when he had gone to rehab and stayed sober for a year, but of course he fell right back into his habits.

Active Warrants, Bratty SD, Crappy Husband... I am over it!

So the BM got a bench warrant last thursday, she already had a contempt of court charge for being 3k behind in CS... she now has a FTA and Non Support charge out against her, 3 in total... She never showed up and messaged me Friday asking if she was getting the kids like she had no idea (which she does) she never messages to check on anything unless she needs or wants something... 

Surrogate Skids

thinkthrice's picture

As you may know, all 3 of my horrific skids are now adults in their twenties and have been officially PASed out for 15 years now (16 if you count the older two).

But Chef has former co-workers, one in particular, who is about the age, possibly older than Pumpkinhead (OSS stb 28).  He always adds a "Y" to the end of his surrogate skids names (ex. Dave becomes "Davey", etc)

Well "Davey" who is married to a BM with her kids and an ours kid, is always crying "poor mouth" which i don't care for-- And I've told Chef so.  To me a sign of ill breeding.
