Stepdaughter HELL

Tammy H's picture

My SD14 has been driving me nuts for three years. I met her three years ago. Her parents the BM and BD wanna be "friends" NOT parents all of the time. I did see on our computer last year (when SD13) her naked body and privates (doing very private things). My BD14 did see them as well, thank god she said gross. She acts out and I get very mad, alot at my husband because HELLO, do something..I act out on everyone because I truely hate this kid. NOW, he is talking to her (she moved away last fall) and keeping these things from me.

I'm new...looking for a place to vent, but also for an objective opinion. I'm not sure I know all of your abbreviations, but will do my best! I'll save the full background history for another time, but wanted a little advice on a situation I've been irritated by for a while that kind of came to a head today. Very long story short, my husband and I have been married 2 1/2 years, but have known each other for almost 20. We both have children from other marriages; mine - 2 boys, ages 6 and 9; his - one boy, age 7. We each have 50/50 custody with our ex-spouses.

I just dropped my son off with you so he can live his dad and I’m not overlooking the fact that you will be taking care of him as well.

O/T - Anyone with experience with an elderly parent with possible Parkinson's Disease?

Shaman29's picture

I just got the news from my mother an hour ago and I'm trying to keep it together.

My father has not yet been fully tested but the doctor gave him a preliminary diagnosis of the onset of Parkinson's today. He had a small seizure over the weekend and my mother was able to get him into an appointment today. This is the second seizure he's had in about 10 months. They are going to run tests but the doctor noticed the tremor in my father's hand. He wants to wait for the results before giving them any further information or a prognosis.

Please help me!!!! Baby Mama Drama

Here's the scoop. I'm divorced with an 11 year old son whose father doesn't want to have anything to do with him AND his father lost all parental rights anyway. I'm dating my best friend, whom I've known for 13 years, we've been dating for 2.5 years. He has a daugter who is 8 1/2. I've known her mom as well for 13 years and we have NEVER liked each other. A couple of months after we started dating, my boyfriend moved in with me. A couple months later, October to be exact, his daughter was abandoned on our front porch, by her mother.

a new Stepparent movie

stepmasochist's picture

I saw a trailer for a soon to be released movie I'd really like to see called "Cyrus." It seems like it deals with the nightmares of dealing with an adult stepchild. The two "parents" are played by John C. Reilly and Marissa Tomei and the stepkid is that chubby guy from Superbad. From what I gathered from the trailer it seems to be done in a comical, yet real and touching way. Sort of like "The Squid and the Whale" which if you haven't seen that - it's an awesome look at a marriage with children that breaks up and how they all deal with it.
