Not having any of my own, maybe that has made me a bit overprotective of other peoples.

But PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE!

1. If a step child has caused a brain injury to your bio child, or any other injury, please do not let that child be around unsupervised. Install web cams. Leave and live separately. Do not allow this child near yours ever again. This applies to fur kids too.

2. If a step child threatens violence to anyone, or is in fact violent, please call the police. Put that stinker in the clinker.

I just had to get this out. Today.

So...things with SD15 backstabber/Munchkin have been pretty smooth sailing. Each of us on best behavior, me leaving her completely alone (even when she asked me for dandruff shampoo, I just refer to her father "ask your father"...) and yesterday we all went out for a nice lunch.

A new place. Expensive.

I brought up subject of school, asked "so heard anything about how school will go this fall" innocuous. 

Her: "oh yeah for sure my ROTC will be in person, but I havent heard anything else..."

Happy Birthday

Greetings fellow Steptalkers!

I am very grateful for all of you who have supported me all these years and given me advice from the heart, I truly appreciate each of you (not the trolls...) and am sending out my love to all here that have been through my step-journey, every step of the way. You have lifted me out of some of my darkest caverns and with humor, intelligence, intention and love and have made the difference in my life that no others can.

((hugs))

Just reading through here and wishing everyone well.

Well, this past weekend ended up strangely and now I have a cough.

I tend to pack in the weekends with go-with-the-flow plans, but I am also wanting to take some earned vacation time as well. SD15 Backstabber/Munchkin was with us for the week (Wednesday to Wednesday ugh. Explanation - she wanted it changed and the parents agreed because of distance learning, ROTC and the difficulties surrounding turning her camera on for extra credit when at Toxic Trolls apartment)

Our weekend went as follows: 

Taxes, Child Tax Credits and Pre-payments Opt out

WELL that wasnt fun. It was actually a bit hard. Letting go has always been hard for me. And giving an extra dime to Toxic Troll BM kills me.

But there you are. For backstory, I file the family tax returns. I have the tools, as well as the experience. For the past two tax years, 2019 and 2020, we have claimed SD15 Backstabber/Munchkin. I had Toxic Troll sign the waiver both years, due to the child support modification order that gave her claiming rights. You know, the part where the visitation is 50/50 but listed as 51/49 for tax purposes.

Compartmentalizing the "team" of marriage

Im reading through "stepmonster". Trying to attain a shift so that the marriage will be less stressful, I will be less stressed and angry. Resulting in husband being less stressed and angry.

Things are shifting but slowly. I poke here and there, but more try to understand and make myself understood.

I dont know if this even makes much sense.

ll make this short:

1. I went to an eye Dr yesterday to get a new perscription for my contacts and it was one of those places where the DR is remote, and none of the lenses really worked for me. Ive gotten perscriptions that were wrong. But I needed something fast and my regular Dr couldnt take me until 2 weeks from now.
