We are going to court later this month. I hope it all goes well am very nervous. We are the ones who are wanting more regular visitation. She didn't respond to the order and we go to court next week.( she regualy with holds visitation for stupid reasons)
I guess I should start where it all began. I met my man two years ago. It was a very strange situation. He was living with his ex girlfriend at her parents house with their son. She had told him countless times it was over between them and the ONLY reason he was still living there was for their son. When he finally decided to move on he met me and we hit it off from the start. She was of course furious and claimed to still love him and want him back. Pulled one of those "I didn't know what I had until I lost you" deals.
So after five days of crazy BM NOT allowing the fsd's to speak to FH and us recording it - and the fact that of course she let them speak to evil FMIL - she finally let them return his call on Friday. And...we picked them up Saturday A.M. with no issues...and she was as nice as could be...something HAS to be up. Who calls one week and threatens we cant see them for months?
Well i left my husband after years of being last place in his list of priorities, i no longer have self esteem and am constantly crying and angry. I realised i can not live that way anymore.
As you may see from my previous blogs that my husband has always dropped everything for skids and his ex and i am the one that has actually had to look after them all.
I would feel bad but I'm seeing more and more how much of her troubles she brings on herself.
Today we drove the FSkids back to her house. For anyone who doesn't know, it's about a 4 hour drive giving us an 8 hour round trip. Usually, FH will make the drive one way and BM will do the other, but this weekend we picked them up on Friday, too. She said last week she had plans today and so she couldn't pick them up.
Boundaries, we need them.
SD10's bathroom has sprouted a few new items while I was at work today.....
Apparently, BM and SD picked these things out about a month ago and then purchased for our house.
(This is NOT the first time, BM has chosen decorations for SD part of house.
The first time, I donated the stuff to Goodwill with DH approval.
This time, BM hands the stuff to FDH in front of SD making it "impossible" for him to refuse.
So, both BF and I have the kids this wknd. Sat went good, Sunday was good. Of course his ex calls yesterday to see if their BD was coming home-knowing well that she was going back Monday. So-he reminds her they'll see her today-at evening. So BM obviously can't handle knowing her daughter has a good time with us. Has to try to "entice" her back. When it's my BF's time-of course!
Somebody's been sitting in my chair! Somebody's taken my shaving cream! Somebody's been eating my secret stash of chocolate!
I have the best husband in the world but everytime my stepson comes to visit, there is nothing but drama. He lies to my husband & he go back home to his mom after the summer and lie to her. He plays everybody against each other all of the time. What is crazy is that my husband know that my 8 year old stepson lie all the time but my husnband believes everything this boy say that is bad about his mom. I do not think that his mom would do anything to ever hurt him. I love my husband but I cannot deal with the constant drama from his son and his son's mom.

First, there is no excuse for whatever he did/said, but the situation will not improve if you cannot calm down.
Second, you are not alone, when you are right in the middle of the mess, thinking this is never going to end, you will survive, become stronger and wiser. Don't give up.
You are who you are, never doubt yourself, be a happy mommy for DD. Don't you ever forget that.
