It feels like I haven't had time to breath lately, let alone get on and see how all you STers are doing! Have been really busy at work these last few weeks.
SD is doing very well and it is actually not all that bad around my house lately. She of course still has that attitude that starts to develope in EVERY 8 year old, but she is back to the girl that I used to know. I can't believe that we spent all of this time playing the blame game and it turns out it really was a medical issue. Don't get me worng, BM is still a crazy Biotch, but that will never change LOL.
Can someone make the summer go by faster with the skids?

Well - for anyone who read my last post about the incident I had with my not so stepkid who is a mean, manipulative, sociopath...
So I decided that I was tired of my husband walking out the door each night from my apartment to our home. I decided that I wanted to move back to MY home. So I did. SD15 is in hiding in her room and I have yet to see her. The funny thing is I could care less! It's only a matter of time. She is texting DH as to where I am in the house so she can avoid me! It's comical! I just shake my head and tell him that she is only 15 and the brain doesn't completely develop till the age of 21.
Earlier today i get this text from bm telling me that ss5 wants to spend fall break with us and that he really wants to see his daddy. She also stated that she tried contacting dh but that he didnt answer. So i Call him and tell him what going on. He said he never got a call or text. We did not get him this summer as I am pregnant and high risk as well as due any day and he lives 8 hours away and 95% of the trip is nothing around. But ss5 understands. He is excited. Well she also said something about uniforms and additional cost for school.
BF gave me that "I know you are not happy, I can't do this to you and I can't do this to myself" talk again. This time he's like it's not fair to you, to me and to my kids. So I asked him, "Are we saying goodbye?" He said, "We have to, I can't live two different lives. You can't even go to a trip with them because you can't be in the car with them for 6 hours." But then he's still holding my hand, hugging me, kissing me and cuddling with me while watching TV like we are still together. He even asked me to go out for a walk and ice-cream after the talk.
To those of you who have skids in college, do you/your dh pay for their college expenses?
Was it court ordered?
If it's ordered and you pay, say 1/3, ex pays 1/3 and kid pays 1/3 how are the bills reconciled? How do you know the ex is paying her 1/3?
Why is there anything about a kids college tuition in a divorce decree anyway? Kids of MARRIED parents get no such guarantee for college.
Disengaging has worked wonders in my life. It's not just for steps. I discovered the same techniques work well with other family members, co workers, and recently a real pain in the behind tenant in one of my rentals.
SD10 has been in Georgia with her mother for 8 weeks. She's coming back on Wednesday. I'm completely indifferent that she's returning. I was a little surprised, but I didn't miss her at all. Today, DH said "Oh, SD10 will be back on Wednesday!" I thought to myself "Wow, has it been 8 weeks already? Hmp."
I don't dislike her. She's an okay kid. Really pretty sweet actually. But I'm not close to her, either. She's just sort of here.
I feel like a jerk for feeling that way about a child that lives in my house full time.
