Spring Break week is almost over we take them back to their moms tomorrow. TG This week has been unbeleivable. It started off decent with going to the St Pattys parade, buying them some fun trinkets from the cart guy but in the end we got:
I recently came across a reference to ODD, and looked into it a bit. SD17 has every diagnostic criteria! I am trying to talk DW into getting a pediatric pysch consult for SD, and DW is at least considering it.
Before we get too far into this process, I wanted to see if folks on this site had experience with their skids having ODD. Did getting a consult help? If there was a diagnosis of ODD, what type of treatment was prescribed, and did it help? Or did it make it worse? Any info would be great appreciated!
I don't know what went wrong...we were so close for years, we both have so much in common and share the same things. I have been supportive to her mom and family always.
She told me many times she wishes her mom would be more of a mom than a friend, she looked at me more as a mom. But lately, her mom is the coolest thing ever in her eyes, beautiful, Work out Trainer, (SD's friends love her), (which is great and I support that) but now I am on the back burner.
I married her father 17 years ago. She accepted me and we had a great relationship. She never lived with us and was grown when I started dating her father. She also loved my daughter. My husband and I have always had a beautiful relationship, and he has treated me like no one ever had. Last summer I caught him doing something that I considered inapproiate and we got into a huge fight and he kiked me out of our home for a few months.
Can I just say that it is SO WONDERFUL to know that I am not alone!! i stubled on this site this morning after being up until 3am this morning crying out of pure frustration of my bf's ex. (been divorced over a year) His beautiful daughters are here for spring break and the 6 of us (my 2 sons live with us) have had an awesome week. BUT I am so completley exhausted of his ex's juvenile and just plain mean actions. She is so manipulative to them and uses them as pawns against him. The storeis are unbelieveable...I really have felt like she was going to win latley.
This is a money rant. I know a lot of people have worse financial issues, but I just need to get it out.
Well, I've been on both sides. In my former relationship, I had the step son from hell. A totally lazy, thieving, angry, inconsiderate slob. My former SD, while very clingy in her younger years, actually grew up decently and we had a good relationship.
Now I have two SD's who I like, but find them a little clingy as well. They are growing out of it, but not soon enough!
So I ask you all with experience with both sexes. Which is worse?
Short recap; SS18 lives 1000 miles away with no-parent BM and he's been in trouble constantly past four years: truancy, drugs, drinking, DUI, flunked 8th grade twice, etc. Is fairly smart and has tons of talent as a musician and athlete but seems to thrive on underachievement and self pity. Now says he wants to join Marines--this a kid who can't even get out of bed.
So SD got her FB back but mom had the password. This meant she couldn't use it at our house. Then BM gave DH the password so that he can log SD on when she's at our house. But she asked him not to give it to anyone because things like that should be between the two of them only.
I kinda get it. Kinda, but not really. It feels like DH and BM partnering up and leaving me out completely. It feels like they are having secrets together, and this just isn't a good feeling.
He texted bm and asked why the change that ss15 is going? Couldn't have been b/c I said I wanted to pick him up from school?
She texted back that it was a family trip and not everything is about u.
What really? No you are the one that thinks it is all about you!
Dh called her at that point and he laid into her about the whole mess and told her that it wasn't about him or her but about the kids and her games she plays with them.
