I will be out tomorrow so no blogging on my part.
I will be pretending to celebrate GG's birthday (b-day shopping for a beer frig); also meeting up with a former colleague who is divorcing her crazy husband!!
Fakin' it till I make it!!!
Disengaging has worked to a certain degree for me. I am able to deal better with the rejection from SD. She doesn't like it, DH doen't like it but I am better, less stressed, less resentful. So the truth is it puts the ball back in their court to make any changes if they are unhappy with the siutation. It has made DH see SD a little more realistically, he is starting to notice her actions. He is starting to notice the difference in the interaction of he and I and my kids in huge contrast to how SD is in our home.
It is statistically proven that most blended families don't last...go figure. I have come to my own conclusion as to why this is. I think that if these bio-parents could pull their heads out of their ass, stop living in a fantasy land where their little angels have perfectly untarnished halos then maybe...just maybe they could see clear enough to put there foot down and stop letting these spawns run their households and their lives!!
please stop waving to go first!
1. It is not my turn.
2. I am trying to turn in the same road you are on and your truck is huge which means I would end up in the ditch!
3. Did you not see my turn signal on to turn on the same road you are on.
I do enjoy being a stem mom I really do. I love my SO's kids. The oldest I had the hardest time with but he came around and now I feel sometimes we are closer then him and my SO. Yesterday I picked him up like everyday from school and asked if he was going to boxing practice. He said yes my uncle is going with me. Okay so I take him home and he went down the street to his uncles house. His uncle is 15 and they live in the same apt complex as us. His uncle actually already left. They box at different gyms so if his uncle already left most likely my little one doesnt get to go.
I am dealing with a bm who is horrible to me. I have never done anything to deserve her BS- i have been in the picture now for over 6 yrs- been a great step mother to their 3 kids- and we had our own lil bundle about 2 yrs ago... BUT I JUST DONT UNDERSTAND Y the BM is STILL telling her children ages 11 (girl); and 15 (boy) (who lives with us); that they dont need to respect or listen to me. My oldest stepdghtr is 21 and has two kids and can see my frustration but has her loyalty to her mother...
how long does it really take to feel love for the skids? especially if in the beginning they were rude, disrespectful, and said things that pissed you off. (you're fat, you're crazy, I wish my mom and dad were together again....ect) and now they are on this trip that they dont feel comfortable around me...why?
Caught a bit of Dave Ramsey on the radio. A caller calls in with a standard "victim" story. The ex did this; the ex did that. . .how am I gonna be able to do this or that ,blah blah blah.
Upon further examination, come to find out that the caller is:
1. a CP BM who is working a bare minimum part time hours JUST to pay an attorney to harrass her ex husband
2. has remarried to a guy who makes boatloads of money and is "providing for her and her sons"
3. didn't listen to a THING Dave Ramsey said.
I’ve been a member here for a few years, but I don’t blog or even comment too much anymore, but I do check this site every day. I feel a kinship to other steps that are in a situation like I was just a few years ago and I like to read and occasionally comment out of support. I’ve finally gotten a handle on all the issues that led me to this site years ago.
On here all the time (way to much in fact) but haven't posted lately. RECAP: DH is CP to his 2 sons (10 & 13). BM is a felon w/ drug convictions and has made repeated threats against our family. BM gets supervised visitation (her parents are the supervisors) Sat @ noon til Sun @ 6 pm. This has been the court order since 2007. She usually spends between 6 - 10 hours of that time with them. She kidnapped oldest SS in January, we got an Emergency Order & SS back immediately and were forced to go to mediation which is free in NC so, fine.
