I just can't stand the mush anymore. :sick: SS15 has been on his Facebook almost hourly in the last 3 days posting mushy, lovey-dovey comments. Just today over 95 of them! He's gone from his gf for a week (2 days with MIL and 5 days with my parents). I understand they miss each other, but seriously!! It's like he's turned into this love sick pussy! I want him to grow a pair and enjoy the time with his grandparents (which HE calls them, not me). I want him to play it cool and give her some space. He gets jealous when she hangs out with friends. He talks to her almost constantly.
Just dropped in to say hello. The quick update is that I haven't seen SS since January - although I'm pretty sure I saw him on the street (my eyes aren't that good) and he was looking me over to see if I was still pregnant. SO is still out of the country and unfortunately won't be back for the birth. But baby Niko and I are doing fine, and I can't wait for his arrival.
I never thought this would happen, and I'm enjoying every minute of it.
Wishing you all patience and peace of mind with your step situations...

My DH bought tickets for us and his kids to go to a show ages ago. Based on what has gone on in the last 2 week -( SS cursing me out, calling me an unfit parent who hates my kids who he says are not normal. ANd my SD lying about stealing my underwear and trashing my house - also made comments about not wanting to be with my kids.) I decided it would be wise for me not to go and let my husband be with his kids. Now he came home and is back to - You wont be with my kids it is you, it is you, it is you. Does this ever stop.
so I met the bm briefly. she is dumpy and dopey but nice enough. I think it helps that they'd both been in other serous relationships in the meantime since their divorce, as everything is pleasantly neutral.
Ok, I am new to this site, but out of sheer desperation I have found it and am hoping for some insight. I have stepchildren. Several actually, and no biological children of my own. My husband's ex wife with whom he has 3 children is PSYCHOTIC. He has a child with his first wife and there are no issues there. She is fine. However, the 2nd wife is nothing less than mentally ill. I am pretty sure she has Borderline Personality Disorder. she may be a sociopath. She has no empathy for anyone else, and appears to think the world revolves around her.
Looking back now I really think I should have seen some warning signs and ran as far and fast as I could. I was "blinded by love" or some such foolishness and although it's been a long hard road I do feel like we will survive with our sanity intact.
An unfortunate consequence to our finally being able to see things as they are is that SD(13) no longer wants to come visit. I could write a book and maybe some day I will. The condensed version is this;
We're going on vacation for a week beginning July 21. SD13 has been here 3 nights so far this year and each time insists that she's not coming back. DH told her that she's invited on our vacation but we need to know if she is coming or not. He still hasn't gotten a response. I'm thinking this means she's not coming but maybe I'm just being hopeful. If I thought she would behave herself and not always try to start an arguement or always make insulting remarks toward us than I wouldn't mind. I honestly believe that if she comes she will only be doing it in order to cause trouble.
My husband is great and we have a great relationship. We have dated for 5 years and are now married since Jan. 2011. The main challenge for me (not for him) is how to interact with his ex wife on holidays. My husband and his ex and their children have had Thanks Givings every year since their divorce, which is 13 some years ago. So, he and his ex get along pretty well. However, I, my husband's mother and sister in law (all women!) can see that his ex is still attracted to him and she can't move on even though they have been divorced for 13 years now.
So today my step kids woke up and were ready to go swimming the moment i walked into the living room... I told them give me a little bit and I will think about it. Well this is 4 boys that are wining and crying and torturing for almost an hour and each time they got too much to handle I would tell them I am not going to take you if you keep wining like that, and my husband tells me to not talk to his kids like that said that i was getting on their level... i guess we need to talk bout what's the better way to communicate when they are torturing me like that...
