Hi to all. I am new here and I am soo happy I have found this site to vent. So here it goes. I have been with my husband for 5 years, married for 9 months. He has a 10 year old son from a previous marriage and we have a 3 year old son together. I have met his ex and basically her entire family since they are there when we celebrate SS birthday. We are all civil to each other until discussion on how to discipline my SS becomes an issue. Two weeks ago my husband went to go talk to his son after work due to the fact that his son had not wanted to come over for the last two weeks.
Bm is suppose to take skids for two weeks on Sat. Please God let it be true this time..I need a break! She is famous for cancelling visits. Lord knows she has not paid any cs for 4 months so she should have the $ to feed them!
My extremely PAS’d SD14 just left after having spent a month with us this Summer. It seems as though, after three years of this, the visits are getting easier and less riddled with drama. But at the same time it’s only because we’ve all learned to compartmentalize them into a type of non-existent, temporal state of unconsciousness while we all just wait it out. “Walking on Eggshells” is not only our motto, it’s our survival mode.
Hi this is my first post! So bear with me! And thanks for listening.
I am a BM to BD33 and BS36. SM to Skids 44,42 and 40.
i married DH 2years ago. All the skids were very happy that DH had found someone at last.
Then SD42 decides to do a 360 because I wasn't going to be at h beck and call 24/7 at 30 minutes notice.
So we finally get to bring SD7 to our state for 5 weeks this summer. Her mother has tried everything over the past 5 years to keep DH from his child, and succeeded for the most part. PAS is rampant in this poor little girl, she is constantly repeating horrible things that both her mother and grandmother tell her about her dad. That is to be expected when dealing with a psycho ex of this caliber, but BM’s hate and negativity is obviously way beyond her contempt for my DH. At 7, SD already expresses her entitlement issues, and has that prissy attitude like she might be better than others.
I am new so sorry this is a long one. In a nutshell I want to be a supportive wife and help out since I'm not working right now, but I dont want to in charge of the kids so BM can have time to herself and so DH can work. They aren't my kids! I care about them and we get along great but their parents should plan for their summer, not me!
I am so sick over this, and I have no idea why!? I mean, seriously, I could just :sick: right now.
I turned 30 today. Last night I cried myself to sleep thinking of all my failures, not having any bio kids, everything I should have accomplished by now and haven't, etc..
Truth is though, I have a great DH, two good skids, a house, nice car, good job, good benefits, retirement account, the list goes on and on. So, WHY am I a basketcase???? I am totally confused by how I feel right now. Anyone else feel this way when you turned 30?
BOY has it been rough w/all this stuff recently. His parents seem to have forgotten to get SD back to her mom, her mom seems to have forgotten about her...and I'm standing firm on my "I'll deal w/EOW only".
Ok ladies…I need some calming advice.
SS was thrust into my home over a year and a half ago. He had serious issues…stealing, lying, fighting and all kids of other stuff. He was a little over 16. We got him off the ADD and ADHD drugs and he blossomed and matured. He still has issues but NOTHING like when he was younger. I WAS NEVER supposed to be custodial, so let me tell to try and never take for granted the every other weekend schedule.
