Another breakdown by BM and SS

mndblwn's picture

I just can't seem to handle the two of them anymore. SS will be 7 soon and he really is the best manipulative kid I've been around. He lies constantly to me and DH then goes with BM and gets spoiled rotten. We don't tell BM about incidences because we want the least amount of contact with her as possible.

Positive Approach

Our court order with BM has really helped both my DH and I deal with her. We love to ignore the nonsense of emails, voicemails and texts now that we have papers to back us up. Sounds like we are pushovers but BM can't stand it and shuts her mouth when we put the court order to her. Thank the lord.

BM at it again

BM wants to only play by the rules when it benefits her. She is working to become a lawyer and she can't even read her own court order. Phone calls are between 5 and 530 mon wed fri and sat. She thinks because she works past 530 that she can just call whenever. Why have a time if you can call whenever?

Really? Does BM have to be like this?

BM gets skid 3 weekends a month. Each time she sends him home in pajamas. This time for once he wore his normal clothes home. She also likes to spoil the snot out of skid and take him to mcdonalds for all his meals. This kid doesn't play with what he has in his room and also has a heart condition. Skid now comes home with toys from BM's house and then the next week tells us that BM wants him to bring them back. This time it's a water bottle that skid hasn't used since Christmas.

Court or No Court? Please Opinions

Custody is split 50/50 between bm and dh. this just was decided and agreed upon in may. with bm killing pedestrian while skid was with her do we go back to court for primary custody since she tried lying and covering up what happened? judge has her under contempt of court umbrella since she has twice made emergency motions for full custody over 1 me and 2 lying about drug overdose by dh. this costs us soooo much money.

do we let it slide and hold for ammo or jump on court to take primary legal custody away?

BM killed pedestrian

our lovely BM hit and killed a pedestrian while ss6 was with her. she called DH the next day and told him that she was involved in a little accident where she clipped a person. skid is ok and yes he was in seat belt and she wouldn't let DH talk to skid until later that night during his scheduled time. when pickup of skid came BM laughed as she told DH that she clipped someone and look how it took out her driver side headlight. this man she hit died basically at the scene but was pronounced dead at hospital. she wasn't cited and the police deemed it a complete accident.

Bad Feelings

I think it's safe to say that, again if I have said it, I don't like my stepson. He is almost like his BM. I don't like to retrain him when he comes back to our house. He tried telling me this morning that he doesn't like cheerios yet he has eaten them plenty in the past. Also when i threatened his lunchable for lunch he sat right down and ate his cheerios. I get frustrated when he just guesses at reading and will sound each letter out yet guess a totally different word. BM spoils him and gets him on weekends so he can sleep in, eat in bed and do nothing but veg out.

Reading for ss6

Reading time for my ss who is a first grader seems difficult. He is a bright boy and can ready flashcards with words on them yet ready a simple boom like "Nan and Dan sat." seems hard or just not wanting to read so the "I dont know" comes out. DH does the reading homework because i get frustrated. sometimes i think im not ready for kids but i also feel that my ss is just plain lazy. bm babies him while at her house and then he is expected to be somewhat of an independent kid at our house.

total silence

ss6 and I are not talking in our house. we don't have to even try and we just don't speak. I think he is scared of me because since i have been the one over the last year that has given rules and done the discipline. BM just came back in may and only spoils the kid rotten. she is the disneyland mom on the weekends and summer with no homework or rules. she ruins dinners with candy before exchanges and gives toys each time kid goes with her which is 3 weekends a month. dh feels he is loosing his sons love and only bursts after he gets annoyed.

overwhelming feelings

how do you get over the feelings when the ex tries to come between you and your spouse? are the skids really that much to make exes stay connected?

I'm having a hard time just sitting back and letting my DH ex tell him she loves him and hugs him. It's creepy and disrespectful.

I feel like im back in high school and i don't want my world crashing down. DH wants to start making a family with me and loves me so much.
