Poor SS
Today is SS's birthday. BF has been trying to call him all day to wish him a happy birthday, but since BM's phone has been disconnected he had to wait until SS happened to be at his grandparents house when he called. BF said that everyone who he talked to today (SS's gmother, SS, and BM) sounded like they were on edge and upset. BM got on the phone after SS to talk to BF, who told her he had been trying to call her house but a recording said it was disconnected (up until now she claimed it "wasn't working right" because it would ring for the caller but not at her house). He told her he had sent SS some emails too but they bounced back as undeliverable, so that confirmed that her internet has also been turned off as well. She gave him an alternate email address that wasn't tied to her internet bill which she could check elsewhere.
So now BM has no phone, no cell phone, and no internet. I wonder what else has been shut off that we don't know about or will be shut off soon.
I feel sorry for SS that he has so much negativity surrounding him on his birthday. Technically this was our weekend but since SS's birthday fell on a Saturday, BF said that instead of all the extra driving that it would take to transport him here on Friday, there on Saturday, and back to us on Sunday only to go back home Sunday night, that he could just spend the whole weekend with his Mom. I wish the poor kid could just have a happy birthday.

That's pretty tough on a kid.
You know they are so excited about there birthday's, after all they wait an entire year for it to roll around only to have it cheapened by BMs irresponsibility. Just make sure that when you guys get him that you do something nice for his birthday even if it is just the three of you.
I remember we got custody of Skids 7 days before SDs 7th bday. BM did not have anything planned or scheduled. Thanks to the help of some friends we were able to pull off a bday party in 7 days AND have guests. Thank God for that because otherwise SDs 7th bday would have gone unnoticed. BM got her a helium balloon and a goody bag full of candy. I thought that she had taken goody bags to the school for the entire class...NOPE just SD. Yet when SSs (her favorite) bday rolled around some 6 months later she bought him this expensive $100 remote controlled Jeep.
No wonder the freaking child feels slighted by BM. A goody bag with candy vs. a remote-controlled Jeep. No competition. At least make the amount comparable in price. When the kids were little DH and I would always get the birthday kid a nice gift and the other got a small something ($5-10). Don't do that anymore now that they are older.
