ss decided to finally come for his week with us. I am sure he came only because bitch bm needs her bi-weekly vacation. He came in with a rotten attitude. And he won't talk to us. I had to beg my children not to mention the cruise. I hid all evidence. Even the gift we got him. So now I can't even try and have good memories of the trip.
dh is making us treat him like a time bomb. Saying crap like honey and baby when talking to him. Not like it is having an effect on ss.
hi all. we broke up back in april and been doing well. this site helped so much then. thanks for all the positive and not so positive advice. some i like some i didnt but it was all so helpful and addressing the situation!!!! been keeping busy and giving all my love to my kids (3). she had one who she though was the second coming.... the imbalance and consideration was sad and hurtful and i could not take the resentment anylonger. we were going to move in together this summer and i broke it up over issues that were small to her but big and real to me.
My husbands youngest brother just announced he is expecting a baby with his girlfriend. I could not believe my eyes when I saw that BM posted this comment on the FB announcement:
"Congratulations BIL and GF. Be lovely to have another baby niece/nephew 
xxx"
That is always the question. For those unfamiliar with my situation-my dh has sole custody of ss15. However, he has not resided here but perhaps 4 month out of the last 5 years. Prior to that he lived with us full time since age 1. Currently he is residing with my inlaws. He has been there just over a year this go around. We have no contact with ss nor my inlaws. SS is not able to reside in our home for a mutltitude of reasons but to simply sum it up-he is a psychopath who is a danger to the other 3 children in the home.
I have been married to my husband for 3 years. I came into the marriage with a daughter and a son and he came with 2 daughters.
So many kids on this site and in society are being set up to fail because they got stuck with pathetic, pi$$ poor parents, and then so many posters on this site blame the kids for acting out. It just is mind boggling. I think that instead of being consumed with so much anger towards these kids, we need to direct that anger to the root of the problem: the "parents."
DH and I had a small argument and so I stayed at home while he took all the kids to see fireworks last night (and boy did I have a blast not having to deal with traffic, kids or rain! And today DH is being sweet as a button because he learnt his lesson! LOL) My SIL and her kids went too.
Anyway, SIL told me today that
1. The SKids talked shit about me to her the whole time.
2. BM is now copying SD15 on all emails, and forwarding our emails to SD as well.
3. SD said that BM will fight me when she sees me.
Again, ignored.
FSD8 and FSS10 rode on FDH's SIL's float in the parade. I dropped off the two kids to ride on the parade, and FDH's brother and his wife completely ignored me. Then as FDH, FSD12, and I are watching the parade. FMIL and FSILs(2) come walking up, then stop short when they see I am with FDH and FSD12. All three ignored me the entire hour long parade....
Why do holidays always seem to be the catalyst for bad behavior? The last blow up with the two oldest boys happened on Memorial Day. Today it's them being outwardly hostile, without actually saying anything to me. And putting on their happy faces (as much as these two miserable shits can) when their dad is looking their way. SO said he thinks the sneering and the dirty looks is just their normal faces. How horrible for them, to have all of their inner ugliness seeping through to their outside.
I seriously can't stand their faces.
Last night after SS13's 10 min call with BM, his attitude changed. DH sat at the table eating dinner with him and said SS was "freaking out", had butterflies in his stomach and looked like he was about to cry. DH asked him if he missed his mom and he said no. Something must have taken place on the call because SS was now too afraid to watch tv alone upstairs.
