My lease will be up in September... almost one year since I moved out and since I've even seen SD15. DH is still at my apartment everyday. He is on track with his own therapist/parenting coach. He says he is preparing for my return. DH is concerned that he cannot control SD15. I told him that SD15 will do what she does and all I care about is how HE responds. If he steps in to protect me. Gives appropriate consequences for SD15's behavior. Call the police for any property damage or bodily harm.
Apparently I've had an attitude. I told SO if he doesn't like it he doesn't have to stay here and deal with it. Maybe yeah 60 hour weeks interning without pay, 8-16 hours a week doing my paying job and 2 3 semester hour online classes, sole provider 2 extra kids and a grown ass adult to now deal with, while that grown ass adult plays video games all freaking day might make me R-E-A-L-L-Y resentful.
So, we just had the kids again this past wkend. All was good until Sunday (I'm surprised we lasted that long!). The kids (SD9, SS11 and BS6) were playing XBox in the tv room; and as per usual, SS11 starts bugging the hell out of the other kids. I heard my son saying at one point "Don't call me a loser!" and he actually smacked SS11 across the face! :jawdrop: Now, I don't promote hitting, but SS11 deserved it Evil (And yes, I talked to my son about it and told him to come to either me or DH next time)
To send kids in clothes that are too small/ dirty/ ugly?
So as some of you may know the BM of my SK's is married to a rapist and she married him after he was arrested for it. His court date is next week, this is hopefully the same day we will find out if we get full custody of the kids! I'm so ready to get them here and get them settled.
Since we've lost trying to get full custody 2 times already with substantial evidence against BM I'm trying not to get to excited but I can't help but think about how much happier they would be and their dad would be.
SO
I was going to take the advice of another STalker. Everything is in the package. SS opens it. SS and DH chat about why he can't have the fruit snacks in the house infront of the girls, and they are put away until airport time.
But then, DH had opened the package, and found that BM had actually NOT included the brand they fought over, but a no-BS fruit strip, containing only fruit. No extra sugars, or colors, or extras.
I'm reading so many posts on the BM and dh's having too much interaction. Even in my private messages I'm being asked this. ( medical questions always stay private) give YOUR opinions please on the differences in your definition of communication and relationship. Or experiences in how you handled this issue. I think several would benefit from the feedback. '
Why are most of our BM's complete nightmares?
DH has been trying to get BM to stick to email contact only. Sometimes she will and others she won't and even when she does she's usually trying to trash DH or start a fight with him via email. There's always some sort of accusation that the kids said this or that to her. And if DH doesn't get to the email soon enough or doesn't want to answer it here comes the texts. I mean heaven forbit DH be to busy to check his email or just doesn't want to respond to. Nope. It's fight time.
Ok-so if anyone is familiar with my story-you all know dh is medically retired from the military-so he doesnt work. He has a friend that is in a similar situation-they were roommates at one point while active duty. So they spend alot of time together-well maybe they see each other 1-2 times a week and will spend most of the day together. I dont have a problem with that. Sometimes more-they help each other a lot with various projects and such.
This woman frightens me. She has started to show up at my church. When DH and I were dating she bashed him for going to my church and now she wants to join and get baptized. She will sit in the pew across from me and just glare at me the whole service. She is still dressing like me but she has taken out those awful hair extensions. I feel like she is always watching me. I am not easily spooked but I just get a strange vibe from her. I can't say this for certain but every so often I see a car that looks like the one BM owns driving up and down the street in front of my house.
