I am trying to see this from a SM side of view instead of BM

My oldest son is 19 years old and he has high functioning Autism. From the time that he was 8 years old until he was 18 years old I had shared custody with his dad (one week with me and one week with dad). When he was 18 years old, he came to live with me full time. He was held back a year in school so he is graduating from high school next month. My DS is 19 years old physically but mentally he just isn't there yet.

Update on my post of Why a form SD was reaching out to me now? Oh my, I wasn't expecting this...

I received a request on facebook from a former SD. She was He11 on Wheels. She really had two crappy parents who really only cared about getting back at each other than parenting her. I basically left the relationship with her father when he got full custody of her because of his bad parenting.

First a little Background

Why is she reaching out to me NOW?

Before I married DH, I was dating a man with 2 girls. His oldest daughter lived with him full time and his youngest he had visitation every Wednesday and every other weekend. The oldest daughter was spoiled but wasn't that much of a problem. The youngest child was totally out of control at 5 years old. She would throw tantrums, curse, steal and lie...etc. She was best at manipulating Daddy Dearest. I found myself disappearing on Wednesday evenings and planning to do things outside of the house with my kids every other weekend.

How often does BM expect you to change your schedule to help her out with SKIDS?

Last night, DH gets a text basically stating that BM NEEEEEEEDDDSSSS him to pick up SD at 5pm today.
She then states if DH can't do it that I should do it.

I hate the fact that she just assumes that I am going to leave work early. I do not get off work to at least 5.30 (could be longer depending if I get stuck on the phone). She wants me to drive across town (45 minute trip one way) pick up SD, and drop SD off at BM's house (20 minute drive opposite direction) . She has never asked she always demands.

My BS and his BF

I posted earlier about my BS's SM's dad passing away. I opted out of the funeral and visitation since BS's dad volunteered to pick him up and carry him. I just settled on a polite "sorry about your loss" conversation with his SM.
