I blogged over a month ago about SS14 getting suspended for fighting. (He didn't start it, but he escalated it.) I agree with what people have said about defending against bullying, etc., and I agree. But it doesn't sound like that's what was happening.
Yesterday, he got in-school suspension for "horseplay." DH asked him about it. A kid tripped and knocked into SS, and SS responded by shoving him so hard he fell down. SS confirmed that, yes, the kid bumped him by accident.
DH: Then why did you shove him like that?
SS: Because he bumped into me.
I am in tears. If you remember any of my posts SS has been disrespectful to my SO for years. He hasn't stayed at our house for over two. I don't know this child well and it is like he is a stranger. BM finally started to get on him for his horrible attitude. My SO comes to me last night saying SS asked to stay over this weekend and he said he could. I don't want this to happen.
.....the BM is dead.
She was horrible for her entire adult life and left a lot of mess behind for others to settle.
My husband has had an immediate improvement in a lot of his health issues, likely from the eradication of deep seated injustice and stress. The purging of old stories about how horrific she treated him seem to be slowing, and I expect those wounds are finally scarring over. She was such a manipulative, drug-addled parasite on every person or institution with which she came into contact.
Ugh, y'all... let's see, so Tumbles wants to come celebrate her 30th birthday with DH and MIL. DH let me know that, and that she's deep in a relationship with a new guy at three months. How do I express my "support"? First of all, I'm not engaged with her and I responded by saying to him "ok, I hope that works out". And... do I want to celebrate her and DH's birthday OR do I want to not go? If I don't go, then it's going to make things worse, but if I do go it's going to be the usual "show" with the three of them quite simply making me feel absolutely like s!!t!
If you follow my blog you know ALL the drama SD15 and BM stirred up a Month ago . Since the confrontation and DH told SD everything has been peaceful here at home. SD never ever apologized or even tried to reach out to DH after she blamed him for everything and calling him ignorant. DH had not reached out to SD at all until today. I knew it was coming because we were meeting MIL and SIL for brunch and no matter how horrible SD behaves, they always make DH feel guilty .
Whoever quoted "Old Habits Die Hard" really hit the nail on the head.
For a while I felt my DH was doing a lot better with SD(13) when it came to her entitled, lazy attitude and lack of respect/boundaries but lately its been the same story and I'm so frustrated. I'm grieving the fresh loss of my mother so that just makes it all worse.
So, DW just got off a half an hour call with my MIL. New furniture for MIL came up. I have been planning on MIL new LR furniture for some time. No one will actually just do the things they talk about doing for MIL because "she might not like it". I am getting to the end of my rope with everyone's walking on egg shells with MIL.
So, I shopped for and found some very nice stylish high quality furniture that is on clearance at a place near MIL's and reserved it for delivery. I went with dark blue since cleanliness is a challenge for MIL's home.
Hi everyone!! I hope you are all doing well at the start of this New Year!
DH and I are doing very well! We had a great trip to Patagonia last year. And, DH is set to retire in October of this year - so we have more adventures ahead of us!
So as far as I know - Bratty is enoying her first year of med school and being very studious. Good for her, everyone is proud.
But...
I have a Facebook account. Bratty and DH"s family is on it. Vacation photos, etc. No problem with that.
I have 2 Instagram accounts.
Initially, BM came on way too strong with me, acting like we’d be sister wives or something. It was creepy—she had no boundaries. She tried to rope me into keeping secrets from DH, as if my loyalty would be to her, not him. I had recognized for some time that she was about control and manipulation, but had no idea what was coming once we married.
SD is 14. Recently moved to England with mom and step dad that's in the air force. Long story short mom spoke with daughter and made the decision to move without discussing with her dad. There is no custody order never has been. He was basically told it's what she wants. Mom always lets her do what she wants. She's missed weekends over the years to spend it with friends or birthday parties or her family. I've repeatedly told him to get an order but he just wouldn't do it. Biomom argues and her parents have a lot of money and we don't.
