I have a 14-year-old step-son. His father and I have been married for 2 and one-half years. He lives with his mother(who is my good friend) full-time. We have him almost evry weekend and half of the summer. He has been diagnosed as having ADHD, and I certainly agree with that. However, he does not like the zombie mode (as he calls it) the medication puts him in. As a young adult, I understand his decision to not medicate and try to work around his disorder. The biggest problem is that he does not show me respect. His father lets it go because of his ADHD and says it's best to ignore it.
My SS5 will say "I love you" all the time. He recently went through a phase when he would repeat it over and over to everybody. I always say "I love you too" because honestly, how do you say to a five year old "I have a complicated set of emotions that usually range from tolerance to acceptance of you"
Anybody else feel weird about saying "I love you" to skids?
DF has put together a few things and came to the conclusion that BM must be running some sort of escort service. Since they've broken up, she's ALWAYS given him more details that he cares to know about her flings and boyfriends. It's usually very obvious she tries to make him jealous. She is also the type to post information on her Facebook statuses about what she's doing over the weekend, posts photos when she goes out, etc.
this is not a smom vs bm post for once! but i'm curious, i have a friend that i LOVE to be around with an out of control son (8) that i CAN'T STAND TO BE AROUND. They were over Christmas day and i about went through the roof with him/them. and she is VERY aware of her son's misbahaviour, even says her self he's a jack#$@#$@#
I have been lurking on here for about a week now and as much as I hate that anyone else has to deal with this stupid BM drama BS I am relieved that there is somewhere to go to vent where people understand.
We will be talking the BM to court once again for keeping the kids from visting.
Does anyone know a Sprint phone that does screen shots of all the texts, a couple of people said this really helped them in court. We are going to need them. Sprint told us the phone we just got has that capability but it doesn't.
I know there is a site called treasuremytext.com but it cannot be used in court in FL.
Thanks Everyone.

The BM and my husband have been seperated for over 10yrs but the BM has a HUGE control issue. She hates to see her DH happy, and even went so far as contacting my parents (talking crap about him) in hopes to stop our wedding. After 4 yrs together, her spitefulness and manipulation doesnt work. She is now at the point where she cant blame him and be affective so now she has turned the blame on me. Recently, she told my husband, he will no longer see the kids because I'AM such a hateful spiteful b*tch. Its all very confusing to me because just over a month ago, things were fine.
I have been praying for my bs protection when I am not around. It is hard and tiresome to be on guard 24/7. I don't have a problem with them playing 2gether it's how they play. Hiding hid toys, making my bs whine, cry and look for stuff or under the covers, always taking him out of site or hiding from him( last year my ss was calling my bs name who was 2 at the time. My bs was hiding in the dark behind a door. I found him and told him not to try and scare a 2 yr old. Of course he said he was just playing).
His mom and I had been dating for a few months. Mom and Dad flew in for college graduation (mine and my younger brothers). It was Feb 1994. I picked up my GF and her kid and brought them to my condo to meet my parents. The Skid, then 1yo, had a raging cold and was a little snot ball. My dad had a raging cold and was miserable.
So, I love this website and am so greatful for all of your input. It's been a rocky week and an awful Christmas. I think I need some advice on my situation in general-I'll try and keep it brief.
