Frustrated with H over SS

I've asked this question before but still don't get it; how do you keep the love you feel with H sepearate from the anger you feel when he's totally oblivious to parenting and it effects the whole family relationship? For instance: 1. SS 15 3/4 is walking distance to BM's pig sty and has no scheduled visition so he comes & goes as he pleases. Problem: He shows up only to eat, sleep, & clog the toilet if he remembers to flush. Dirty dishes are left in the sink for someone else (me) to put in the dishwasher.

Like most of you, I never received a greeting from my SS 15 1/2 for Mother's Day or any holiday for that matter. But, I also know better than to expect it and get the usual dissapointment. However, although I've never connected with the SS or his BM, I've always tried to make sure he recognized his mother for any holiday. I started out a week before Mother's Day & told him we need to think about getting a card & gift. Of course, he hid at mom's house all week so I never did see him and tried to run middle person through his dad.
