I am not dreading the fact that SS is coming I am happy to see him. I am dreading seeing him walk in on his bottom lip. See BM calls H at 6:30 this morning to very rudely inform him that she will be dropping SS off tonight. She is so hateful all the time. Well very few and far btw are the times that she drops SS off. H usually does all the transportation. Anyway whenever she does bring SS she grills him the whole way over here about coming and how awful we are etc. essentially make SS feel bad for coming and dreading the situation cause of how his mom will act. Even though SS will not admit it we see when the pull up the look on her face and that mouth running 100 miles a minute. BM and SS both look like sore tail cats when they get here and it takes SS a good hour to 2 to perk back up. Usually the factor that perks him up is do I have to stay here tomorrow and we say yes it is our weekend with you and he says yessss under his breathe. Well I do not want to waste up to 2 hours of our visit with him moping and feeling bad because of his PHB (psycho-ho-beast) mom. What can I do to change that mope attitude when he comes? SS really does love his mom and he really does love us. Me and H know that, accept that, and encourage that. I just cannot figure out how BM can say she loves son and do him the way she does about us particularly his dad. Any advice on how to handle SS being down when he gets here? I have tried all kinds of things... Today will be particularly bad as we are going to beach next weekend and we are doing some prep stuff for that so she will be riding him about that. She is jealous of her own son!
