SS9 and I have had a really great streak until tonight. We've been getting along well and all, seemed like BM stopped alienating him for a while (so she could focus her attention on convincing SS12 he has asperger's) but now that she's in deep shit for that one, she's set her sights on the wicked step-mom again with SS9. This has been going on 4 years, on, and off I should say...and tonight was no different. A simple blip of communication, and we have total melt down in the middle of a restaurant. He basically offered DS6's french fries to SS12, when SS12 was going after SS9's....and I was like 'Why are you offering SS12 something from someone else's plate?" And he fell into the booth crying...looks up at me, and I'm looking at him in total disbelief, to which he shouts "STOP IT!"

DH said 'What is going on?" I was like "I'll give you one guess." DH talked to SS9, who attempted a tearful apology but refused, and is now in the basement playing video games. SO not okay with this. I realize it's BM alienating...but you can only take so much of this...and granted it hasn't happened in about a year now...but damnit, it's annoying. It's one of those things that won't go away, not until he's an adult and he sees how effed up the whole situation is. What infuriates me is how much both my SS's have professed they can't stand THEIR step-brother, who is 10, who they've both admitted treats their mother just fine...she's just alienated him from them as well. It's all her...so effed up. Why is it, I get thrown in this boat with their step-brother, of evil bad people...when BM is the one causing all the commotion? Argh.
