Does anyone else resent skid because of CS - vent

Midwest Stepmom's picture

As I'm getting ready to have my first child I find myself resenting ss12 and Bm because of the amount of child support. Dh pays 1,000 a month for one child. I know this money doesn't all go to ss12. It helps support her entire family. She only works part time at $10 an hour, her husband is "disabled". Yet they still managed to make 4 kids together.

Off topic but could use advice.

Off topic but could use advice....

I'm expecting my first child in 5 weeks, this will be my mothers first grandchild. My mother and I have a very strained relationship. I left when I was 18 and put myself through college, she was very bipolar groaning up and I needed to get out of there. She exposed me to show much crazy as a child; wondering if there was going to be food on the table, dating abusive bf after bf. she let my younger sister and her BF live in the house rent and bill free. My sister is 24, and my mother still pays her car insurance and cell phone.

BM "doggie shamed" ss12

Today dh called and wanted to talk to ss12. Bm texted back saying ss12 does not want to talk. Dh explained that he talk to ss12 last weekend and ss12 said "mom doesn't always tell me when you call".

10 minutes later dh gets a video with a sign taped to ss12 and she is interviewing him. Asking if he wanted to talk to dh: no, and confirming that she did inform him of the call: yes.

Dh responded back that she was manipulating ss12 for her own benefit. Her response was "kiss off"..

The dreadful weekend is approaching

Does anything else start to feel a little sick when "that" weekend is approaching? The one that comes every other weekend. I know I do! My husband will come home in a bad mood from picking SS up because he had to see BM. He says he gets physically ill when he just has to look at her. I honestly enjoy that part, it allows me the chance to justify in my head that he traded up. she is probably 260lbs, 5 foot 3, and wears high heels everywhere. Mind you we live in the Midwest and there is 4 feet of snow everywhere.

Dealing with crazy BM for too long!

I am a new blogger and really new at discussing my "issues" via internet. Just a little background on the story. BM and BF (my now husband) dated for a month in high school, and she became pregnant. DH changed his college plans to stay in the local area to be with son. They married and 2 years into the marriage she cheated on him, claiming he was not there emotionally there for her (DH was a fulltime student and working 2 jobs). DH stayed with BM for another 6 months trying to make it work, he eventually filled for divorce.
