Teens have a way of zeroing in and hurting you the quickest and worst way. Just wipe away the hurt and know you are a better person. And really, her words say more about yu than her. Her insecurities, her shame, her arrogance and her ignorance. Let her live in her silly little bubbleland.

It is a never ending circle and dance. SD14 never fails to remind me that she only likes me and living in my house bc DSO and I have jobs and she gets to have normal stuff teens have. BM refuses to work and doesn't spend any of her minimal disability check on the skids.

Everytime I let down my guard a little....there is something that SD wants or wants to do and I am the one she asks bc I control the money.

SD is in softball right now, we go to the beach next week, her included, she has band camp in 3 weeks that costs a couple hundred and back to school stuff.

SD asked me yesterday if we would send her to a softball camp that is $300, money due in an hour from when she asked. She then said 'Mom will pay half when she gets her check on first of month (Aug). I asked if her Mom was going to pay half of band camp and back to school shopping, or she could give up her trip to the beach to pay for it.

I'm dirt right now.
