DF and BM bought the house I now live in together, although BM only lived there for about 6 months before they broke up. She hasn't paid a dime since then, and DF has been making the payments alone for about 2.5 years. Every few months he gets sick of seeing BM's name still coming on the statements and it reminds him to ask her if she'll sign the quitclaim deed paperwork. She always says no.

I am a 32 year old remarried woman. I have 3 children of my own who live in Michigan and now two step children in Canada. For my own children I get them once a month alternate holidays and half summer, mainly because I had to leave an abusive marriage of 13 years and had some choices to make, as far as making the transition as easy as possible for my kids. My 2 stepkids are as much to me as my own, and their BM is needless to say a pain in my backside. I am not here to bash their BM but to maintain some sanity as an SM

I'm not sure if this is an OT blog or not.

I was googling along my merry way and I came across a site, http://www.divorcebusting.com, where a woman is selling marital advice over the phone at the rate of $150 for 45 minutes. If this woman has any educational credentials they are well hidden on the site.

Hello everyone! Thought I would share something funny...since I've been laughing since 7:43am!!!

As you know BM has tormented DH and I with text messages from 6:30am until the cows come home for several months. We cleverly put a sudden end to it all one morning at 6:05am by simply adding AT&T smart limits to DH number. Prior to doing this we sent a text from DH phone to BM stating that she should no longer text him because he will only reply to EMAIL and he included a new gmail address we specifically set up for communication with narcissist BM.

I really believe BM could not put up with some of the things that we do because she lives in a pipe dream and has a hard time with reality. She never had to deal with getting the kids ready for school because her BF would do it, she didn't have to do homework with them because her parents would do it, and she didn't have to spend the weekends with fighting kids because she would take SS11 out to do stuff and leave SS9 at home (this is all in the year she had them while both DH and I were deployed).

SD texted DH "Good morning, daddy, I'm on my way to school. Have a good day!"

That was unusual, she never initiates texts or calls during the week, but DH replied in kind.

The next day, same exact text from SD to DH. So it's starting to sink in, something's up, he gives her a call.

She was bursting with the news of "Mom's dropping me to school. Mom got a new car!"

DH actually blurted out "How the F*** can she afford a new car?!" and then apologized to SD for his outburst.

Not because I didn't want to but mostly because I havn't had access to the computer because SS is always using it at night and I go in my room and read or watch tv after my son is in bed (830). Have been doing that for weeks and starting to feel some cabin fever in my room so I bought myself an early xmas gift, a laptop! So here I am again!

Please pay more attention in your English class as your spelling and grammar needs a lot of work. I suggest that you take your posts to your instructor for assistance and re-post your revisions. Put more effort into your homework, it will pay off!

I've been searching and searching steptalk to find a recent post where someone had responded with info about a program they use at home with kids or skids. They had posted a link and had talked about how you can also monitor them real time and from other computers. I can't find that post:(
If that was you or if you remember that post can anyone direct me to it?

We've had enough in our home. Seriously. Nothing works. We use parental controls, time limits that shut the computer off automatically, blocking websites, etc.
