Mostly off topic, but also has to do with step life too. So as most of you know, my bf is in the marine corps. Some of you know how in the PSA, BM was supposed to be moving back to her home state between June 1 & September 1 of this year, for bf to drop off SD at home state on September 1. Well, as of right now, BM is staying in VA, so drop off will be in VA, not the other state. Originally, bf, myself, and SD were going to travel to the home state at the end of August to visit bf’s dad, drop off SD, then go and do some other things around the area.

So I have a friend who is married (remarried) to my bf's coworker (he is also remarried), who has a going on 7 year old daughter (husband's child). His ex wife (BM) is extremely high conflict and I would not be able to be in her shoes (my friend, SM). So this morning I get a few texts from my friend (SM) saying that the BM called the cops on her and her husband, not once, but twice to do a wellness check on SD because BM could not get a hold of her. So BM likes to be in constant contact with SD when she is at her dad's, texting all day every day, calling multiple times a day.

I just finished watching The Act on Hulu that is based off Gypsy Rose and her mother, primarily about her mother having Munchausen syndrome by proxy. Let me start off by saying if you have not watched it, then you should watch it. It does warn that some of the characters are fictionalized and events dramaticized, but regardless, is just so sad by how much a mother (or really any parent, mom or dad), can manipulate their child. I won't give anything away because there were details in this that I looked up that are true, but I didn't know before watching. 

So bf has been at the office all morning getting all the paperwork he needs to submit his BAH package. The good news is, he spoke to someone today (I forget his rank), but he said that they cannot take his BAH money away for 60 days from the date of the final decree. So that gives my bf 48 days of having his BAH and hopefully within that timeframe his BAH should be approved. He has to apply with it without dependents though because he does not have SD for 90 days or more, and so of right now he is not paying CS.
