FMIL Inviting Wedding Guest

TW: Involves substance abuse and mental illness. Also, I understand this situation is no one’s fault, but I feel it is FMIL responsibility. I have a lot of empathy for all parties involved and understand how hard this is.

OT - Moving During COVID

Things have been very quiet on SK front. She texts me time to time with funny TikTok videos and the relationship is very neutral. She's starting to get bummed that she is stuck at home now for the rest of the school year, which I understand. Even before COVID, BM never let her see friends or have friends over, so being isolated like this has been hard on her. She's a little on the lazy side so she definitely hasn't made it easier on her self mentally, staying up late, sleeping all day ect, but she's at her mothers and its not our problem.

Howdy everyone!

Things have been good in stepkidville. We still have very little interaction but gentle communication. Its amazing because now her father has to do all the work and he has seen how much goes in. She is coming up for Christmas and he is getting her from and back to the airport, meaning he has to be there two hours before her plane lands and has to wait for her plane to take off (unaccompanied minor). He started to complain about it and I just shrugged and said, well I'll be at the spa that day with my mom so have fun! His kid, his problem

I would like to start this post by saying my SO does a lot. He does all of the laundry, he cleans on off weeks of the cleaning lady, he does his fair share of dishes, ect, so this post is mainly just one of those posts that is me just complaining but I'm sure many could commiserate with the dumb things their SO's say without thinking.

I have disengaged from SD14, and things have been great. The less attention I give her the nicer she is to me, but I won't fall for that trap. I'm always very cordial and friendly, but I never go out of my way or basically do anything for her. Its been really nice and there has been ZERO fighting between FDH and I. She is actually coming for a visit on Thursday and I am not 1000% dreading it, which is a nice change of pace.
