Step Summer

DH has asked BM many times for months if she had plans to have SS8 over the summer (she lives across the country, moved even further away than she was before 2 weeks ago). BM claimed she wasn't sure if she would have him because she was moving, then it was because they were renovating a part of the house and it wouldn't be "fun" for him, and then she blamed the cost of travel of the trial MIL initiated on DH if BM had to appear in our state.

Short Court Sequel

A little follow up on the upcoming court appearance.. DH has tried to get in contact with BM, who lives in a different state, to go over the court summons MIL sent with her delusional statements. BM claimed she just got it today then followed up through texts that she just doesn't want to deal with our family drama... I mean it includes her son but I guess she feels like that's not her problem. Unfortunately for BM (and us because she's useless), she has to be included as a noncustodial parent regardless of her lack of motivation.

MIL Ready for Court

DH and I cut off MIL about a year ago due to her hostility and constant threats towards us as parents in regards to JUST SS (not my other 2 bio kids whom I share with DH). She has threatened grandparents rights, even when she was seeing SS way back and continued to tell other family members the past year. 

TGIT - Monday was a bust

Yesterday when DH and SS return after school pickup, I notice SS asking DH to unlock his tablet over and over without a breath in between while DH is on the phone with a customer (DH has a flexible job and can work from home as needed). I ignore the situation due to my nacho mentality and leave DH to handle it. Eventually DH snips at him and tells him that he's on the phone, has to find something else to do for now and not to interrupt him while he's on the phone. SS proceeds to watch TV for a while but comes to see if I would unlock his tablet. I ask, do you have homework? He said um....

Advice - Stalking and Harassment

In my last blog post entry I discussed how DH and I were in the process of going no contact with MIL. We have gone (mostly) no contact since April with a few slip ups on DHs side entertaining her threats (like she's going to get us evicted from our rental, take custody of SS, get DH fired) and harassing him via texts/calls. Since then, she has been blocked on both of our phones and social media accounts. MIL has tried other ways to "get to us" through sending gifts to the kids through BIL or trying to relay messages through her boyfriend to provoke us to let her see SS.

SS & MIL Drama Continues...

Tireddmomm's picture

MIL has been a major issue since I can remember. MIL has an unhealthy bond with SS7 and thinks she calls the shots. DH finally reached his limit with her before Easter. She lost her mind when SS increased behavioral issues were discussed because she blames us for "causing" it and not parenting how she wants us to parent. How I am not motherly enough to SS.

SS Behavioral Issues

Tireddmomm's picture

The title right up there, is the bane of my existence. So many problems. I've ranted a bit on here about them before. SS6 (about to be 7) is FINALLY diagnosed with ADHD as of the beginning of this month. SS has now been taking medication for roughly 2 weeks and so far... it helps a little. No miraculous change. I've had a hunch that there is another diagnosis we are missing due to his anger outbursts and disrespect which can sometimes turn into aggression if the wind blows just right. SS will be going to counseling soon to address other issues.
