The least wonderful time of the year

For those of you with high conflict, manipulative BMs, do you ever wonder how your DH managed to get into such a terrible relationship in the first place and why he stayed long enough to have kids?

I used to, but now I’ve realized that MIL had normalized all the vindictive, manipulative behavior so much for DH that he didn’t even realize that BM was treating him badly.

So over the drama

I posted previously about how SS12 forgot his golf clubs at our house. I saw them in the garage after DH left to take him home. 

What I didn't know was that DH didn't even know they were at our house. MIL brought SS to our house at 10pm on Friday and she let herself in with SS and put the clubs in our garage. 

Neither of us know that SS had a golf tournament today, because why would we, BM never tells us anything. 

SSs forgetting things

Today is my and DH’s wedding anniversary. We have plans to go out after he drops off SSs. They just left. I went out to close the garage door and SS12 left his golf clubs. He didn’t bring the golf clubs to do anything with us, MIL insisted on taking him golfing Friday evening of DH’s weekend, so she dropped him off at 10pm. I didn’t even realize he had brought the golf clubs since I was nearly asleep when they arrived, but when I went out to the garage, there they were sitting for all to see.

No call on DH’s Birthday

In the entire time I’ve known him, DH has always had SSs on his birthday week. This year, we planned to travel to see my family and we were going to take them with us. When DH contacted BM about two months ago to tell her this, she said “they can’t go, I’ve already signed them up for camp and my sister is in town.” DH did not make a big stink about it, even though their parenting plan stipulates that the kids are with him on his birthday, so she should have consulted him at the very least for plans on that day. Instead, he rolls with the punches like he always does.
