When I got home from work there was a letter on the counter....Then he sends me a text last night saying I made this happen???? WHAT! are you serious ???

GG's counselor appt re: VD was YESTERDAY!

The counselor is *supposedly* an experienced SM (not to judge here but most likely a SMINO like the Behemoth herself)

According to the counselor, VD is "taking personal responsibility" for the breakup of her parents. However there is ZERO evidence of this in any of her writings to GG. In reality, the Behemoth's professional victimhood and rampant excuse making has been bestowed upon VD. To me this is just a manipulation technique to make GG feel bad that his poor widdle princess is taking blame for the breakup. GAG!

:jawdrop: Well SD13 has a school "field trip" to a pro ball game this Thursday...SD13 pranced in with the slip yesterday all cocky like we owed her something!!!!.....Well DH told her "FLAT OUT NO!!!!" "You were so rude and nasty to mom during our vacation that I will not reward you with a fun day out of school!!!"
FINALLY!!! Hope DH taking a firm step forward with SD13 will help!!!

When I got home from work today DH tells me that SD has an award from school for neat writing etc, I was very proud of her. She also forgot to bring it home but once I get it I will be putting it up on the wall. SD and I still have our moments where we clash but things seem to be going well at the moment.
I would like some advice on one topic. SD has asked to call me mum but before you Bios go crazy read the story first.

So FDH and I expect SD4 and a half to dress her self. We pick the out fit with her and she gets dressed. To eat all her dinner, which isn't a lot, by the time were done. We cook her food give it to her then cook ours to sit down and eat. And to have basic manners at the very least 60% of the time.

Ok, so I am in a relationship with someone I've known for over 10 years... We dated briefly in High School and over the years have recently gotten back together. Since then she had given birth to a Daughter whom is now 3, pushing 4 in a few short months. She and I had gotten back together at the start of this year and I've since lived with her and her Daughter for the past 2 months.

SS11's trifling BM just called my H to INFORM him that she would not be getting SS this summer. No explanation. She simply stated that she has too much going on to take him. I'm assuming she'll figure out how to take care of the 3-year-old little girl she has by her husband though! Wtf...?

While I was not looking forward to de- and re-programming him when he got back, I WAS looking forward to and in dire need of a break. Now I will have SS11 AND SS7 the entire summer, so it seems...

SD13 hates me and goes days at a time saying NOTHING to me or joining in family activities...Lies and manipulates...SD13 has psych issues and is on meds...she has done many things over the years o cause the Dr's to warn us about safety in our home and wiht others SD13 is around...So she is not the typical rebelious teen...Because of the disruption SD13 causes by not talking and by sitting out of famiy activities DH is trying to put his foot down and have SD13 be social(guided by the therapist)...DH has asked SD13 to "Just be nice to Mom"...respectful..just how she would "treat the bus drive

Do you feel like your skids are as much siblings to your bio kids as your bio kids are to each other? For instance, you and your spouse have three bios together. Do you feel like they are closer and more true siblings than they are with the steps? Do you try to foster a relationship with the steps or do you foster more of a relationship between your bios, and why?

So my stepson gets to run the house when he is with his "mother". He tells her what to do and she gives him exactly what he wants, he does what he wants, he talks back, he acts like he is the adult. Sad to say that is the case i have seen first hand how disrespectful he is to her and she thinks its cute so she does whatever he wants whenever he wants her to do it. The kid just turned 3 years old, i can only imagine what he is going to act like when he is older.
