A moment of thanks

Gwen's picture

I was just reading through a few blogs and wanted to pause to thank the universe for having BM get married again several years ago. At the time it was annoying because they'd only dated a few months and got married just two months after we did (we'd been dating nearly 4 years). But BM's husband is a decent guy (if a little ditzy) and EVERYTHING CHANGED after she got married. Within a year it was nearly 180 degrees on her attitude toward boundaries and communication between the two households. She still drives me nuts sometimes but I stop every once in awhile and thank my lucky stars for that marriage because I do believe life would be very, very different and very, very difficult if it hadn't happened.

Ditto!!

Our BM got engaged less than a week after she found out DH and I got married. (about 2 months after we actually did - it was none of her business!) She needed about 8 months to plan the PERFECT white wedding (her third)

She quit pestering DH for money (yay for her DH stepping up) and best of all, she quit treating SD15 like her BFF. If she had kept that up, we'd have an adult spousal status brat, but instead, we've got a respectful kid when she actually comes around. Not that BM is MOTY by far, but it could be worse.
