Stoney Love
In making plans for the weekend, I am coming upon the annual local festival that celebrates a dark green/black stone only found in this area - a festival I always love to go to, and Im assaulted by memories.
The last time I went, I cajoled Husband and SDthen12/13?Pouty McPouterson to go with me. Its about a 2 hour drive down. SD PMP wanted to go to a riverside inn I had taken her to during a spring break trip previously. It was on the way, and not really included in the destination.

Therapy Recommendations
I know I have had many folks tell me this. I know I have said this many times. And many have shared experiences both positive and negative. I saw this and thought of, you, me and all the other steptalkers here:

The Romance and Disengagement just keep on flowing...
Yes, you read that right. Something must have clicked in Dh's head. A light switch turned the lightbulb on. Monday night football without BFF (yay) and sulky SD16 Pouty McPouterson out the door and it was ooo la la.
But let me go back in time.
Friday night fun at the Clove Den
So good news lovely people: I have remained disengaged and Husband is stepping up and on Monday will talk with school officials and/or teachers. Kid is going as well, and together they will resolve the issues (hopefully) and I did not ask anything.

Quick update
I feel like Alice in Wonderland sometimes. And thanks to all that commented and advised.
Im wondering on your take on this...
Guess what - I took the advice and have disengaged. Now I am simply watching and have no emotional investment.

Quick update
Well I always knew that this particular group has "clear slate syndome". Wake up and its a new day, folks.
Everyone is happier than ever!
Husband is kind and loving and happily hanging out.
SD16 B/M bought a little mini pie-maker with her party money and happily showed it off to me.
Everyone is happy and cheerful. Things got "fixed". No one is talking about it.
My friend tells me "its their way, you either go with it or go away"... they deal with things and move on.
Maybe all this time Ive been over thinking things. Just wipe the slate clear.

Update to the Mary Poppins Debacle
Welp. Here I am. Writing this update, still trying to put everything into its right place.
The big picture is that Husband has zero conflict resolution skills. Any issues that come up are blown way up. And of course if there are miscommunications with SD16 B/M it adds that bitter flavor of her toxic passivity.
That being stated up front, here is where we are:

Eviction Take 2. Good news or?
Well, here I was thinking my step sitch cant get any worse, and Husband texted me he found out this morning that Toxic Troll BM got a 30-day eviction notice.
That means Feral Forger SD23 will be evicted too.
Good: (not for us) Feral Forger will be on the loose? Or weasel her way into new place. She def wont come to us after her major spewage about how I am horrible. Its all open now how she feels, and no more bridges, theyve all been burned to the ground.

Mary Poppins and my popped bubble of happiness
Just here to vent.
A few weeks ago, I co-hosted a party. A garden party. SD16 B/M helped set up and clean up and was paid $60 for her efforts. She had a great time and socialised with my vry nice friends. There were a few kids there and she was invited to one of thems birthday party to which she said she wanted to go.
Everything seemed really great (back then). She really was a hit with my friends and she really liked them in return. She came out of her shell and we had some really great conversations.
