ok....big problem here...BM is having another fit over $$$....My husband has custody of his son.....he lives w/ us (moved in over the summer), so when we went to H&R block to do our taxes...they put down 2 for dependents: my SS, and our baby who was born in Oct....because they "live in our household"....well, BM wrote nasty e-mail and claims that we stole her tax return & the IRS is "on to us"...whatever....we have not even recieved our $$ yet...the IRS was holding it because of child support issues...and we got that all cleared up...we even spoke to the IRS in the process.

Children Living With Father.....

I was reading some posts that were put up a few days ago....about a t.v. show where a woman gave custody of her child to the father......I wish I saw that show. You all do not know how much I needed to read something like that....and all your responsis were surprisingly positive. For the past 2 years I have felt like an absolute "good for nothing" for letting my kids go live with their father. My decision was based only on their future...my ex makes the $$ to support them in the way they deserve, and it has strengthend his bond with them.

For The Love Of God...WHY???

Dont get me wrong , I luv my DH very much.....but today I feel he provoked a new war w/ ex. Recently her husband & I , have written all e-mail corrospondence about the kids & visitation plans, he writes them now because in the past, she cant control her temper enough to communicate, her husband is no expert, but does a better job, and it keeps her out of trouble. I write back to him because I can keep my cool (unless under personal attack) and it keeps everything buisness like.

She's no better than a thief....

Has this ever happened to anyone?;My DH ex is trying to get whatever $$ she can out of us. We got custody of SS in July,and she was mad because that stopped CS payments.../.we were overpaying her anyways, and some of the surplus was put towards past due support,we had past due support owed because we were seeking modification , now we only have a small amount that is past due, and we have $69.00 taken out of DH paychecks to pay it off....this really pissed her off,She wanted alot more, it is a court order and we thought everything was all set.

Got some questions

In need of some outside advice on this....... Is it ok for 13 year old ss. to have a "my space" account?? Do not feel he is old enough, he has himself listed as 25!! Also, I hear he can get porn on this site, I know he already sees enough from other sorces, but w/ a site this open, I cant help but worry???? Meshel

Don't Know If I Can Stand Being "StepMom" Anymore...

Lately I'm at my wits end with things that have been going on. I am dissapointed in myself for feeling this way, but I think I need to take a big step back in my role as a stepmom. I have had a few things come up w/ my skids, one w/ my SD. that I posted about already, she only wants to be here when her dad is home, and not "left" with me...??? That issue has resolved itself some, new issue is w/ SS.

I really thought we made it...... :(

I have just had the "rug pulled out from under me". I have posted on here how my husband & I have custody of SS, and that his EX is crazy. Well BM has gone beyond that now. I got a letter from my lawyer today that nearly killed me. BM & her husband, my husband & I were assined a parenting coordinator after we got custody of SS, because the fighting between BM & my husband was so bad, they would harrass us, we would get angry back,etc... So I figure, well now we got a "babysitter" to keep things at bay.

My husband's EX is "CRAZY"

Thank god I found this site...., My husband & I have been married for 2 years now, and his EX has done everything she can to make life hell for us. At first I was surprised, cause they were over long before I came along. He has 2 children with her, and I have 2 with my EX, and we just had a baby together. His EX is very unstable, she is an alcoholic, and is court ordered to go to AA, and recieve outside counseling for her 'anger issues". My husband got custody of his 13 year old son this summer, so he lives with us,and is now happy & thriving.
