SS16 asks for visitation schedule at his discretion

Mary Read's picture

SS16 has asked for visitation schedule to be at his discretion. We granted this request in exchange for counseling that he desperately needs. Problem is that he now thinks that this means that he shows up whenever he wants to - meaning if SS14 tells him we are going to do something fun for the weekend (ie - weekend trip, hockey game, camping, etc) then he shows up to go. If we tell him "no" then BM has a fit in front of God and everyone and submits reports to the FOC that we are being unreasonable in visitation and that his dad isn't being a good dad, etc.

How to tell a friend (who is a stepfather) that his GF will NEVER have his child?

I feel like I'm posting a ton lately, but hey, that's what StepTalk is for, right?! Sorry to be a blog-hog.

Anyway, my fiance's best friend from childhood is living with a girl who has come to be my friend. I'm going to call them Brandon and Heidi, just to make this easier to explain.

So, I was cleaning and I found...

So, I was cleaning and I found an interesting picture....I was dusting one of the framed pictures of DH's daughter. I noticed the back of the frame was bowing out a bit, and when I tried to correct it, I could see that there was another picture behind the framed out in front..I was curious to see what it was of, so I pulled out the picture behind and it was a 8x7 of just BM and the kid together.

hmmmmm....doesn't make me too happy to stumble upon this.

I may cath flack but need assistance

I just started seeing this guy that I have know for a year. He is currently married but very unhappily. They had decided to split for the 2nd time when she texted him that she took a pregnancy test and it was positive. He recently found out that she had been cheating on him prior to finding out that she was pregnant. Ever since they are constantly fighting and the big one was this last weekend. He has 2 kids (10 & 7) from a previous marriage and she was nice to them prior to getting married. When she had their daughter (4) she flipped the switch on him.

BM just has to ruin EVERY conversation.

DF talked to BM and later told me that he was really surprised because they were actually having a very nice and mature talk about SD5's weekend visitation changes and how she's doing in kindergarten, and how SS3 is handling being more on his own now that his older sister is in school. Hooray.....oh, wait.

Separation Agreement

My separation agreement has been sent out. I am a little nervous. DH called this past Saturday to see how I was doing. I told him I was good, there was akward silence and then I got off the phone. He called 2 more times and left a message saying he just wanted to hear my voice and misses me. I didn't call back. Monday he went balistic. Called me at 3pm, then called non stop from 6pm-8:30pm (back to back). Leaving messages asking me to call him back, crying saying he misses me. I answered a couple of times around 7:30.

I have not been here for awhile because of my new job. But Saturday Sept. 11th I told my BF that him and his D had to move out. the relief is undiscibable. He found a place and is moving by Oct. 1st. I would like to still be a part of this wonderful blog, this is a place of great support and understanding.

Thank you to everyone for the help, ya'll gave me the strength to take the bull by the horns and move on.
