I have a son who is 2.8 years old, and then I have my 6 year old Stepdaughter. My son is not my husband's bio, but he has taken care of him since we married and he was 7 months old. For the most part, he considers him "his son".
My son and stepdaughter do not get along. They can't play together without a lot of screaming, arguing, and someone (usually stepdaughter) crying and getting hurt.
A few weeks ago he gave her a very bad black eye, it wasn't playing, it was an accident in which his head hurt her browbone. Today, he threw a block at her and hurt her lip.
Hey there, here's my story. In 2005 I married the man of my dreams, we finished up our time in the army in 2006 (2007 for him) and started our lives together in the civilian world. We had our son in 2007. The summer of 2007 his ex wife took the kids out of school 3 weeks early to go visit her family. They stayed with us for 3 months that summer. Around the beginning of 2008 the ex started going nuts. She was married but her hubby was in Afghanistan and she was lonely.
I know all the signs are there and I know in my head I am doing the right thing, my heart just isn't with my head yet. I am starting to panic and second guess myself. DH doesn't want to work things out if I move. I understand, but he also says he understands why I need to leave. I am so scared that I am going to leave and have made the wrong decision because I do love my husband very much. Im scared that he really is going to change and that I am going to miss out on him.
So SS found a girlfriend about a month ago and they have been inseparable since. I have a few issues with this girl friend situation…
I’ve been struggling with some pretty funky emotions today.
DH woke me up with a gentile kiss and said, “Hey honey… know what today is?”, and I panicked. He has, like, 200 close relatives who talk on the phone every day and every stinkin month there’s some brother, sister, cousin, uncle, aunt’s birthday to acknowledge (I’m getting really good at color coordinating my calendar with different colored sharpies!) and I thought I had forgot a biggie….
I am very new to this site but very glad i found it! I am SM to a great 8 year old girl and BM to a wonderful 4 year old son! My husband and I have been married for 6 years and together 8. Problem - husband's ex -CAAARRRRAAAAZYYY! When i met my husband shortly after i found out that there was a woman out there pregnant with his baby. They never had a relationship but more of a fling she wanted WAY more and ultimately ended up pregnant...accident? not a chance! Anyway they had stopped speaking with each other about a month after she got pregnant..
I'm here at work and I'm SOOOOOOOOOOOOO tired!! Help!
Honestly, everything's pretty good. I got a raise (heck yeah) and I'm starting school again in a few weeks. I'm almost done with this school, only two more semesters then I transfer to University and start working on my BSW then MSW then LCSW. Ugh so much school! I'm taking it one day at a time though.
Well here is bm's latest trick, per the new order bf is to contact ss13 by cell phone to make arrangements for visits where he lives and to speak with him in order to increase communication between the two.
GAL's newest attempt has been a huge failure!!! Surprise, not really. BM is to keep ss13's phone expenses, he lives with her primarily and bf is to keep ss16's phone expenses, he lives with us primarily - this way each parent can communicate with each child.
So last night I got home, drank a bottle of wine and sat on my front porch... Contemplating my life, my choices and how its been, and how..its gonna be...
When BF pulls up, he gets out and says "hey babe" I say hi (without even looking up at him) He runs in to grab a beer and I tell him to grab my wine 
He walks out and says "you drank the whole bottle? How long have you been home?" I say.. About a half hour (still without looking at him)
That's what SO's good friend at work told him earlier this week. This is the same friend that SO called for help the first time that SS15 pulled the "running between houses" stunt. SS and this friend have been close - the friend is very young at heart and the two of them would always joke around together. At that time (when SS walked out the first time), this friend, who also knows BM, tried to talk SS out of making the mistake of going with her. SS didn't listen. The friend was happy when SS came back to SO - and of course appalled when SS ran out again.
