Still taking small steps...DH are still working on things and going to counceling, which seems to help. It's going to be a long road...the holidays will be rough this year since we have decided not to spend them together. 
I can't believe how low this woman will go!! BF and SD went grocery shopping yesterday. I stayed home . A few minutes of peace for me lol. Well they have all the Thanksgiving displays out and she wants to get all this stuff for Thanksgiving. BF tells her you spend Tgiving with your mom this year. I will pick you up on Saturday. Cue sad droopy eyes from SD "mom said she can't afford to do Tgiving this year so can I go to your house?". Of course BF puffs up with pride to the rescue of course SD you come home with us. Now I have two problems with this.
This is my first blog ever. Im not really sure how to start, i guess ill start by saying that im frustrated with my situation and just want things to get better. I have been in a relationship with my bf for 2 years. He has a 7yr old daughter. Shes a great kid, but somethimes she says things and dose things that really iust think are rude, or aside from being rude just irritating and attention demanding.
UPDATE ON THE LATEST CSEA ORDER:
Well, BM is not gonna be real happy, but I am not here to please her... I talked to our attorney, and well... The Judge and Magistrates decisions are being appealed to the Appellate court, and there is going to be a Stay put on the recent order... In the State of Ohio, they are not legally allowed to take 50% of the Obligor's pay check. They can take up to 30% and no more. But... If the children are in school, there is no legal right for 1 parent to be the Sole financial responsible party of said children...
Like most BPD/NPD (in denial) people, BM has huge big shiny red buttons that are easy to push. (deliberately or unintentionally) One of BM's buttons is me. BM has forbidden the word "stepmother" in her house, and just the mention of me can send her into a rage.
Has anyone used this or seen it work miracles? I like the idea of a dvd re: PAS but I"m still not sure about the "rejected parent" having to put up with all sorts of disrespect as is recommended. Not to say that the rejected parent blows up at a child for being disrespectful, but firmly warns the child that this is not acceptable rather than just sitting there and being an emotional punching bag. . .which happens with or without the DVD.
I installed a voice to text app on DH's iphone.He uses it all the time to text me if he's on the road.It functions beautifully and he doesn't risk killing himself or others from texting.He just talks and it goes to full text and gets sent to my phone.
With that said lately whenever DH has SD with him I've noticed the texts back from him are in "text speak" you know,instead of I love you it's ILU or ILU2.That kind of stuff.Stuff that you have to be 16 with calloused thumbs from texting all day in order to understand.
Stuff that a 14yr old kid would text.
Here are some of the lowlights from the Special Education she is receiving in the 7th grade:
1. VD needs to find a memory strategy that she WANTS to utilize
(Editor's note: VD doesn't WANT to do anything much less work or memorize)
2. Unless VD FEELS LIKE IT, she will not apply study strategies to improve her memory
(Editor's note: Ahh the product of non-parenting and being raised on instant gratification)
3. If VD perceives anything as Social Studies related she has a tendency to GIVE UP before she even gets started

I second your motion. I think there honestly needs to be SEMINARS all over the world warning women about such lopsided "relationships" It's like being in a broken love triangle. You chase biodad, biodad chases the BM and skid, BM and skids chase biodad's wallet.
I also think there needs to be some "guilty dad registry" similar to "dont' date him girl" so that women are warned that they are stepping into StepHELL.88
My bf's BM tells him she wants to be able to pick my bf up or him meet her and FSD places. But im not allowed to come. Wants the FSD to see them get along. Is it wrong for me to tell him thats disrespectful to me? That FSD can come to the house like shes been doing? BM says that he has to have a relationship with her and FSD in order to see the FSD. I say he act civil when he talks to BM but thats it. I dont think he should have to go places when FSD can come to the house and he dont even like being around BM.
