Court Date is Set!

CBCharlotte's picture

December 16th. And now we wait. This is for the child support hearing. DH's lawyer never really gives too strong an opinion on things, but he actually said that BM2 was "obscene" among other things, for refusing to settle out of court, and thinks she is in for a very rude awakening.

Can I catch a break?!!

This is what I get for almost feeling happy about the child support issue.

DH was jogging yesterday, hit some uneven payment and fell. He broke his hand and two ribs, one of them very badly. The way he fell, he actually broke his own ribs with his elbow, that's how hard he went down.

Lawyer Call Update

Oh man, DH and I are smiling ear to ear. DH and his lawyer had their call yesterday. BM2 FINALLY sent in all of her financial docs. She was a B and insisted DH turn over tons of financial info, which he did since we have nothing to hide. When she didn't accept our offer, SHE had to turn over all the same info!

OT - Sad Job Update

DH didn't get the job with the big bank. They said they weren't moving forward with the position at all at this time, but the HR personal confided, after some pressing, that the manager said he didn't see DH as a fit for his team. DH was pretty devastated...we found out Friday. SD16 and SD13 flew up for a visit this weekend which took his mind off of things. We all had a blast and I'm sad I probably won't see them until Christmas Sad

SS7 pushing boundaries

My SS7 (just turned 7 in September) is a very sweet kid but also a little $hit. I love him dearly but sometimes I want to shake him. He can be very sneaky and think he is smarter than everyone. He can also get violent. I have caught him hitting his brother etc. when he gets frustrated. Both DH and I have punished him when caught. Over the summer when we had him for a month, I felt like we made great strides. He lashes out out of frustration, and we were doing really well with talking about feelings.

Positive thoughts for next week

Dh has a HUGE interview with a large bank Monday morning! This is the most promising lead in a year! His old boss called him to have drinks and told him there is a position he thinks he would be great for. The guy under old boss would be DH's boss. He has 2 long interviews Monday morning. The fact that this guy's boss is giving DH the thumbs up will, I hope, work in his favor. Fingers crossed! This would be amazing.

College Frustration

I already know the response will be DISENGAGE lol.

For background, for those who don't know, I have an excellent relationship with skids and with BM1, and pretty good with BM2. This revolves around BM1 and SDstb17.

SD16 is a junior in high school with pretty good grades (mostly As and some Bs). She is a great kid. Respectful, kind, thoughtful, etc pretty much a dream skid. We talk on the phone, text etc when they are not with us. Her and I have a great relationship even without DH and BM.

What a wonderful start to Monday morning! I just got the call from my doctor that they got my biopsy results and found no cancer! I'm SOOOOOO happy!!!! They want me to do another MRI in 6 months and make sure the area hasn't changed, but everything looks normal.

Thank you everyone on here for the support, you made me feel so much better!
