Thank you!!

I just wanted to say a HUGE thank you for all those who responded to my postings today and my other recent post. I have been a long time lurker (visit several times every day) for the past 4 years at least. I have sat back and watched countless "dramas" unfold and arguments, but I always come back because the experiences, advice, and even the vents have always helped to just read.

I usually don't really post at all because I'm just not good at it and don't really feel like I have much to offer or am not as gifted at this type of outlet as many of you are.

Three Things You Are Grateful For:

Persephone's picture

VENT!!!!!

SS dropped a college course because the assignment was to do a paper on three things in his life for which he is grateful. He thought it was a very difficult paper and he doesn't have time for that... He has other glasses to worry about, like gym and art.

The ingrate couldn't even come up with three things!! Even though the three things could have been as simple as He is ALIVE, He eats every day and doesn't live in a homeless shelter!!

He can read and write;

He has never suffered a personal and debilitating tragedy;

I know this is of topic but I need help

I want to say something about how wonderful a jernory, see I can;t even spell, it was raising her and that I know she will go on to do wonderful things. I really can;t think of anything creative to say. I am paying $30 to do this so I want this si be good. Thanks you so much Smile

SD5's bio father wants to be more involved...BM won't let him.

We just found out from BM that her daughter's biological father has wanted to be more involved in her life but that BM won't let him.

This is somewhat confusing.

I can understand that BM is thinking that my fiance (DF) has raised SD5 since she was a baby and that SD calls him "Daddy" and that SD really enjoys coming to our house. But SD's real father has been in the picture this whole time (every other Saturday visitation), and only recently has started actually wanting her more (we think he's matured a lot, plus he has a serious girlfriend who may be pushing this, too).

SERIOUSLY?

At the end of this is the email DH sent to BM. Her response today is this:

"Before I answer any of this ......I have one question to ask........how can you ask me to compromise for you when you will never compromise anything for me?"

This is so frustrating. I'm so flippin mad at her idiocy and these games she plays. She does this kind of manipulative behavior all the time. I'm quite sure she if referring to DH telling her last week that he will not agree to the kids missing school to fly out early because she doesn't ensure they do their homework.

Need to vent

BM is a real piece of work. Last week she attempted to put SS12 on Zoloft for Anxiety. DH put out an email that under no circumstances was that to happen. SS12 came back Monday and DH asked if his mom gave him anything. He said no medicine, but she did start him on new vitamins and Fish Oil. DH said fine, but if he noticed anything different he was to tell him. She listened for once.

Do they ever get it?

Do the DH’s ever get it? Do they ever look at their little angel kid and finally see the horrible person that they are? DH sees it, but it only last for a few minutes and them it is forgotten and forgiven.

I know DH ignores most of SS’s issues, but I wonder one day if he will “get it”. He knows that SS is a lying, rude, manipulative, spoilt brat at 17. He just ignores it.

Need advice quick!

I get this e-mail a few minutes ago....

DH,

SS14 has to stay after school today for homework club he has a paper that he needs to get done. He was not able to call you as you were in court and he said that he couldn’t call SM. I will be getting off work at 1500 so I will pick him up and off work or I can drop him off at your place. Also, he was being very snotty with the teacher and Miss Maggie. I talked to him about his mouth as I heard some of it first hand but Miss Maggie told me about some of the other stuff that he was doing. Just so ya know.
