Oh, is it the weekend again already?

I was so hoping for a phone call to say SD11 had better plans and wouldn't be coming this weekend. DH is so stressed when she's there that's he's taken to drinking and smoking dope just to manage. I'm not joking, that is how bad it's become. Yesterday SD was so hateful to all of us, especially me. If I ask her if she needs something(she was looking for pants and I said, they're in the dryer, I'll go get them) she said "I don't need anything from you" in such a snotty tone. DH said "You had better change your attitude, I don't like it and it has to stop" and she "No, I won't stop it." Grrr, I would like to just slap her. This is how the whole weekend went, so far.
Last night DH was reading news online and SD noticed that we had a new printer. Here is how the conversation went:

SD "Does it work?"
DH "Of course it does."
SD "OK, print out the lyrics to such and such a song."
DH "No, we need to get more ink, I'm not wasting it on foolishness."
SD "I'm going to stand right here and I'm not moving until you do it."
DH "Humm, that's really not going to happen"

So, this led to SD stomping all through the house like a 2 year old and slamming her bedroom door.
What a brat she is, at least DH now sees her the same as I do. He used to somehow be blind to her brattiness but now as it's gotten a bit worse he sees her as she really is. It doesn't help that she takes after BM and he just despises her.
I usually bite my tongue unless it directly affects me and the other children. Even then I will wait a minute or so to see if DH will say something and he has been.
Yesterday he even made sure to give me some "extra lovin" in front of the kids. SD said "ewwww" every time, LOL.
She asked DH to buy her a dress for "graduation" I think she meant grading and he said no. We have always given the kids cash for grading. Every "A" they get is $20 and every "B" is $10. They might get $120.,nothing,or somewhere in between. They make their own grading present. I have a feeling that she won't be getting any money this year so she's trying to come up with other ways to get a grading present.
Yeah DH you've finally seem the light, to bad it took a 1/2 ounce of marajuana to help you see it. It is a small price to pay though, LOL.

I agree with buttercookie- DH really needs counseling.

I feel very much for SD. I know in the past you have mentioned the possibility that she was sexually abused. I think she was, and I think that this is her way of screaming for help.

I know you called CPS. Did you ever hear back from them?

I have not heard back from CPS. I'm not sure that I will, do they actually tell me what they find out or do they keep it confidential? I know that they are looking into it. We did get an email from BM last week and all it said was "Did Social Services call you?". DH simply replied "No" and we haven't heard anything else. Social Services is the agency in Canada that looks into all CPS calls. I agree DH needs counselling, we have gone but it is very difficult to schedule, I do agree it should be done soon though. I have pretty much washed my hands of SD, I don't know if she was abused or not, I do suppect she was. I however have done nothing but try to be friendly with her and abused or not I will not tolerate her poor behaviour towards myself or my children. We have done nothing to her. Sorry if it seems a bit cold hearted of me but I am though being abused by a child and just letting it go. If she needs help, I will help her but I cannot live in a house where a child is left to behave however they want.
