SD17 will be 18 end of March. For sometime now, she (me too) has been counting down the days, as SD insists she will move in w/BM----DH has been PC forever now. Fine, we will help you move. DH has been trying to convince SD to at least wait to graduate in June, as past experience has shown that BM could care less if she does. Found out today that BM has been telling SD---I will give you all of the CS of $500 if you move in with me. And we can collect it until you are 25. ----- Oh MY!!! So many lies in these promises, it is unbelievable.
sd is 6 (almost seven in a month & a half) & im never really been around kids so much so I dont know if this is just a kid thing or if its because she has adhd. She is on meds for it as well. sd is constantly changing her mind about activities she wants to do, like she will want to watch a movie for a few minutes and then change her mind and want to color in her coloring book and then want to do something else 5 minutes later.
SO pays for mediation, mediator convinces BM to come. BM says she understands the damage she is doing to the kids by denying them access to their father. BM agrees to bring children to father with her approval (teens wary). BM says she's in therapy and wants to become "independent." Mediator says BM is very reasonable and repentant of her wicked ways. So, we wait in mediation for her to arrive (I'm supposed to leave after first hour), we wait, mediator calls, we wait some more, BM doesn't show. Mediator says this is not a good sign.
FDH learned the hard way that being a good person and trying to do favours only works if the other person is straight-up, too. BM, I'm sure you could guess, is not.
Some of you might remember my blog about the van and how BM can't get a loan because she doesn't have a job, and it was leaving a liability for FDH to keep paying for it for her (and taking it out of her support) until she got a co-signer.
I know that we all have our times of frustration and helplessness.
We have our moments of happiness, and moments of anger.
But does anyone else suffer from self-doubt?
Most of my frustration stems from the fact that I feel I'm doing the best for my skid... BUT...
What if I'm not?
What if I am hurting her more than helping her?
Just checked DH cell because it was ringing and he's asleep--it's our work # too, so it could be a business call. Well it was a telemarketer, but there are 4 new texts from Sybil. It won't show "new message" anymore so he will know I read them but that's ok.
Hello. This is my first blog so I will give you some info on myself first. I am 27 years old. I have a BD7 and BS6. My FH has a 10 yr old son. I am 3 months pregnant with my FHs child. I am on bedrest, due to complications, and probably will be for the rest of the pregnancy. I have been with my FH for 3 years now. This is where I start running into problems. I actually left my FH back in February of this year. I could not stand his son. At the end of July we started really talking again (although we had never stopped completely). He said that his BS had really done a turn around.
SO called BM a bitch the other day. In a place where SDs can see. Their aunt gets into the fray saying they need to be protected from what's going on, she continues to insinuate that SO is the sole problem and that BM's family are the ones taking care of the girls. I disagree.
I'm new to this site and glad I found somewhere to vent,
I love my SD and my DH, they both see me as the mother figure in our house which can be lovely but at the same time annoying.
