DH parents are absent. They only visit their grandkids twice a year. They don't call, dont't facetime, don't send birthday cards, just maybe a Christmas present or two. I am "friends" with DH's stepmom on Facebook. I totally regret it now.
I came across this article I thought would be interesting to many of you who are dealing with enabling parents. I linked it at the bottom but here are the highlights (with how it is playing out page by page in my life).
What is an enabling parent?
Me and my husband started dating when stepdaughter was 3 years old. We married 2 months into knowing each other and have been married for 6 years. When you know you know. He told me about his daughter and how she was not easy to deal with but me being me I thought children are children and how bad could she really be? I have 2 kids of my own, at the time my sons were 1 and 5. My 5 year old is autistic.

Told DH I wasn't joining SD TUMBLES, him and MIL at dinner. He became irrationally angry and said we'd defer the conversation- I said I had my own plans. I do NOT want to be with SD AT ALL! Help!
So last I wrote, SD15 aka Demon was refusing to go to school, but Seeing as how she had no other options, She has been going, and has actually been doing fairly well. She is the Manager of the volleyball team, but still seems to have minimal friends, as tends to happen when you act like she does. She has been working a bit and going to therapy, so that's something.
After much worry and love and cuddles and progressively worse health we laid our best boy kitty to rest yesterday. He ended up not passing from kidney disease, but cancer. Our wonderful vet helped us on his final day with compassion and tears with us.
Just curious as to how far away is your spouse ex wife from
where you live?
I'm guessing (from my own past experience) that the closer these unstable exes live the more chaos they bring to the table.
The Disneyland dad I used to deal with had a beastly bovine breeder who was a mere 5 minute drive.
*shudders*
Dead beat mothers aren’t talked about enough in comparison to fathers. As a new mom myself, I just can’t fathom the genetic & clearly biological absence of instinct to want to nuture, protect, love & care for your babies with everything you have.

Ugh....I swear. DH has one brother ...aka the methhead. Literally he is a meth addict complete with the missing teeth and everything. OY joy..
Now MH (methhead) has two boys....nephew A and B. Nephew A....well he flew the addict coup at 14 when the house he was living in with his methhead mom...aka the stripper (MH met her while delivering chips to the local strip club while she was on a pole). was raided by the police and Nephew A was on the ground at gun point.
