Dear DH,
I have been through several years of you putting BM's feelings before my own. While it has got better (not non-existant), I still hold onto all the times where you put my feelings in storage, while you stroked her ego.
I am your wife; she never was. She was just some flavor of the month that you picked up while you were out.
I became friends with you; built that strong friendship with you which became a strong foundation for our relationship.
Thank you for your post yesterday. I agree that there is too much bashing going on. I too, was bashed on my first post here. I was astounded that women did that to me when so many of the posts talked about the same BM issues that I have. I was targeted because SO is not divorced from BM yet. It seems like we are not the only couple facing that situation on here. A few members e-mailed me privately to tell me that there are a few people on here that will do that. Thank you, members, for your support. What the BMs can do for the SMs, is to help us parent your children.
Anyways...My stepson is Obese. His parents think it's cute... well not cute...but they don't seem concerned..in fact they think it's just his Gene's. Mom and Dad are 'bigger' people, but not obese, and not obese as kids. This kid is obsessed with food. Counsellor says there are no issues, he just likes food... and I can see that... Anyways... I'm pissed because we've resorted to locking our fridge and pantry. It's such a huge pain! This came about after I bought oreos and whipped cream (I was making cheesecake for our Canadian thanksgiving)...
So I am pretty sure everyone has heard about Zara Baker, the missing little girl on the East Coast? Her stepmother has not been named a suspect but the media such as Nancy Grace has already tried, judged and convicted her. Don't get me wrong, the SM is definitely looney tunes - at a minimum, she is a pathological liar. Zara had a prosthetic leg and hearing aids. She also suffered from bone cancer. She lived with her father full time. Evidently, there are reports that the SM was abusive. I am looking for a link to the story if you haven't heard the story.
Drinking heavily here folks, LOL!
Back story: I believe SD is likely bi-polar as she has rages, is impulsive and can't control her mouth. Has insulted everyone in her family, including me, but still hits them all up for help, esp since she is now a single mom. Still lives with BM, did go to school and is now working, at least. SD was a factor in the breakdown of DH's marriage as she was abusive to her dad for years and BM was a wimp and let her disobey him behind his back.
Well since my husband works night and is gone from 1830 til 7am and with my work I am sometimes gone when he arrives or he's gone when I arrive, we don't see each other for days sometimes. With my ultimatum of last week of asking for things, not to change, but to improve in the next 2 weeks, things havn't changed at all. He spends evenings on the computer looking for things that are not important while I'm sitting on the couch and this am, he spent 30 minutes on it to waste time til his kids were gone to school and just told me he was going to bed.
Well this is my first blog. I hear its a great stress reliever, or at least a temporary one. I joined because I was googling information on step-parenting to help me cope with our current sitation and found this site. I met my boyfriend about a year and a half ago. He makes me so happy and our personal relatoinship when it comes to anything but the kids is great. Of course we have our differences, but they're enjoyable differences. He has a 4 year old little girl and a 10 year old son. I hate the way I feel about them. I feel like the world's worst person.
anyone out there with twins i am pregnant with twins a girl and boy and i have SS and i would like to know any advice of how to deal and keep balance and my head on my shoulders once they get here
My SD 9 lives with us and goes with her mom on the weekends. Her dad has pretty much raised her all her life. She is 9 and of course a daddy's girl. So sorry, but I have no bond or desire to bond with this child. She is spoiled, a simple whine gets her way! Last night I cooked spaghetti which my husband ate, my son who is 8 also ate, but SD9 refused to eat it. Got up and went over to her dad to say that she didn't like it. Now had that been my son, he'd be at the table staring at a bowl of spaghetti until he fell asleep. My husband of course got up and made her top ramen!
Still in limbo- process is gruelingly slow. Can't elaborate on all that obviously.
Still stuck emotionally b/c I don't recognize the man anymore. I don't see any glimpse of the one I forever bragged about on here as the most emotionally supportive and loving man I'd ever known. I guess MOW is the one that's reserved for now. She is getting to see all that passion, compassion, etc. All that caring only what she wants in life, just as he once treated me. Just as he once revered me.
