Hey there everybody…
Well, once again my DH’s “policy of truth” has landed me in a pickle. Since day one of our relationship, he has insisted (trained me!) that we be bluntly honest about all things concerning our relationship, he sees little half truths or skirting uncomfortable issues as relationship killers. So if he has something on his mind, damn it he’s gonna say it. And he watches me closely for every reply… it’s gotten so that I don’t even try to “just say the polite thing” any more, it just makes him more upset.
Does anyone have any pointers on meditation? I have disengaged pretty well and it helps a lot. BUT there are times that I really want to explode! And sometimes over very, very small stuff that I KNOW should not bother me. I think we all get to that point sometimes.
Long story made short DH and I both had to work today and left before the skids went to school. On my way to work I got into a minor fender bender. Someone lightly tapped my truck, no damage aside from my coffee getting spilled all over my clothes, thank god it wasn't scalding hot. After the deputy gets done writing up the paperwork I turn around and head home to change before heading to work. I walk in and there sits skid#2, the 15yo Watching TV. The kid almost had a heartattack when i walked in and tried giving excuses he wasnt feeling good etc etc.
I can't win for tryin! Was stuck home alone with my ss all day yesterday.Last night when bm bought my sd back home-I hid up in my room while they all hung out in my kitchen. So freaking sick of this shit I could explode! Who's house is this anyway? Why Iam I always made to feel like I do not belong here? To make matters worse-school is closed today! Why can't I make my husband understand how this makes me feel? Without him backing me this will never stop. I hate to say it but everytime something like this happens-I start to resent the skids.
its been two years and counting also going on the 2nd child with DH and meeting his family is out of the question..... his fathers side i've meet some relatives but his mothers side they believe im the cause of the on going divorce battle and made up their minds about me. as for his fathers side their are some who have an open mind and some who have made up minds. DH's so called ex has slandered me, she has a big mouth, filled with lies and made up stories worst thing about it is their oldest son16 believes it all too and ignores DH during visitation.
I had the Mirena put in about 2 yrs. ago, at the time i thought it was perfect since i didnt want any more kids for a while, but then about 4 months into it I started feeling anxiety I even got a panic attack and didnt know what it was because i had never felt anxiety before the Mirena..
SD15 has been extremely defiant. She is failing out of school because she does not do her homework, she actually does okay on tests. DH gets emails from teachers several times a week saying that she is not turning in her work. She has 4-5 Fs out of 7-8 classes. She never says hello to me. If I am cooking she says "Dad, what is for dinner?" right in front of me. She says she never wants to be home, she "hates" it here.
I don't think so! Brief history: I've disengaged from SD28 and DH & I haven't spoken to or interacted with BM since SD turned 18. BM worked hard to turn SD against DH and almost suceeded. We found out that BM told SD that DH gave her an STD and that is why she divorced DH. The truth is that BM was secretly engaged while married to DH, DH found out and they divorced. DH told SD the truth after she turned 21. During the times that we had to interact with BM it was hell.
Most StepMoms would do this for their SO's their Skids and their GrandSkids.
IMHO of course.

The most important trips aren't about getting somewhere. They're about getting to someone. (via Elliott.org)
I celebrated my bday last week and over the weekend we took SD's 5 & 13 to a hotel so we could all enjoy the pool, hottub, spa. I invited my BFF, my DH's BFF, SD5's BM, and SD13's BM and all of the applicable family memebers that come with all of the above. Only my BFF and his family, and SD5's BM & family came and it was perfect. We had a great time. We learned some fun facts regarding why SD13's Bm could not make it...
