DH ex was next door having dinner with the neighbors! Not what I wanted to come home to see. It was fine though no drama didn't see her my ds did, it was just awkward kinda.
This week has been quiet on the BM/SS/MIL world. Get ss tonight and tomorrow crossing fingures it goes smoothe. Then count down to long child free weekend with just my love and me!!!
I am seriously struggling. My step daughter is OBSESSED with her father and the even more difficult part about it is she is 17. She acts like his wife. She has to know where he is 24/7, sit and lay on him whenever she has the chance. She sends him about 30-40 texts per day. She is always making him coffee, breakfast, lunches.
Sad and stressed . . . blended families are hard
Just as I'm from Australia and our systems are different. I'm interested in how CS amounts are worked out where you live? What CS is 'supposed' to cover? Do you BMs have to get jobs? What is alimony?(as far as I know we don't have that in Australia at all) & how is it worked out? Do CS change for you partners if you have children?
I tried and really did want it to work, but we both had to really want it. We had one counseling appointment together 2 1/2 weeks ago and ex-FDH refused to go back for the next one, instead he decided that going out on the boat and drinking with his buddy was more important than working on us and said he'd call me when they got back in that night.
My SS11 is going to visit his Mom for 6 weeks as soon as school gets out. She lives out of state. From what I understand he has plans to go to the beach with her. Anyway, this is our second summer living together without being close to the ocean. Last summer we all flew out to his Mom's in FL. This year we are avoiding that because we are trying to pay off our medical debt from my youngest child's birth as well as some credit card debt. Anyway, I'm from Chicago, about a 7 hour drive from here. I suggested we drive there since their beach lakes are decent.
BM just got a new job. Based on what I have been told about BM's past this sounds like her first real '9 to 5' job. I am very happy for her, because for once she will understand what the rest of us go though. Where does Karma come in? Well BF has a very demanding job and puts in a lot of hours (some times close to 60 a week). Before I came along he needed BM to help him with the boys, but at the time she was just working part time so it wasn't a big deal even though she made it out to be one.
Does your BM give the skids the 15 minute long "going away to Fallujah for a year" greeting out in the driveway for all the world to see?
And then give the same "greeting" upon their return?
"OOOOH You POOOOOOOOR darlings had to go to that evil man and his whore's house this weekend. . .come in and tell mommykins, your BFF ALLLLLL about it!!"
You COULD be experiencing PAS!
Just happened to notice....doesnt seem like it's been that long.
BM is on an 18 month type of probation. She was chraged with Malicious Mischief and assault 4 back in the summer and was told to be good, with no criminal activity and the charges would be dropped. If she gets into trouble, she will serve 365 days for the assault and 365 for the MM. BM was arrested on the 4th of this month and spent the night in jail..the charges..wait for it...MALICIOUS MISCHIEF. OMG.
BM has court for the probation in June. Then another court date in July for the most recent malicious mischief.
