I'm so burnt out I can barely stand. My mother, on July 1, became so ill she went into respitory failure and spent 7 days on a ventilator and had a small heart attack. My sister and I live in small northern communities and had to basically ambulance chase all over the province. Thank God she surived.
BM called DH the other day to tell him that SD11 wanted to go on a trip with her friend. While talking to him, she said, "Tell stepmasochist to stay out of business with my family. She got (BM's brother)'s phone number from (BM's brother's ex) to call him and ask why we aren't getting along."
Okay, first of all, that PRESUMPUTIOUS bi0tch!
Just curious what you feel are the most important things you look for in a relationship. Of course I want love, to love, physical attraction, good communication, good sex, shared morals/goals (I don't want much, huh? LOL) I also really want security. I know I can manage my life on my own in all ways because I have and do, but damn, I'd really like to have a man around that can provide some financial security. I guess I am old fashioned, but it's a real turnoff to me as a woman to feel a man is dependent on me emotionally or financially.
Just wanted to peek in to say hi to my fellow step-buddies (ladies and men).
Also, I'm curious if anyone else out there has been with their DH/SO/BF long enough where the skids have finally "aged out" of CS and the BM is finally off your payroll.
1. How does BM deal with the major decrease in income once CS has stopped and how has it affected your relationship?
2. Anyone with crazy BM's that tried some crazy ways to get CS extended? Did they win or lose?
3. What has your life been like post-CS ending?
I kind of feel sorry for DH that the wool has been pulled over his eyes for so long. I feel sorry that he chose to think that I was a bitch and picking on his son. I feel sorry that SS will probably not become a decent member of society when he gets older. It all could have been avoided if DH and BM actually parented. It could have been avoided if DH would have listened to me.
My BD16, graduated this past May. She will turn 17 in September. Her 17th birthday will be on the first day of college.
When we enrolled her for college, I had told her that she was staying home and would make the drive. Its 35-45 minutes from home.
When Loca Grande tried to get custudy changed to her 2 years ago (after 10 years! of us doing ALL the work), the same judge from the original ruling told her she was crazy and sent us all to court-ordered mediation.
Things like sports, college, cars and updates in visitation were discussed and plans were documented. We even made a plan for graduation parties.
The biggie was braces. Since she backed out of paying any part of Princess's braces, she volunteered to pay all of PITA's ortho bills.
Let me start with the high point: Loghead thanked me for being the go- between and doing all the scheduling with Loca Grande for the last 12 years. About damn time he recognizes that!
I hope this is OK to post here - I find that you ladies/men are very responsive and have great points of view when it comes to various topics.
Firstly I’d just like to say thank-you to everyone that responded to my last post and for your condolences.
A few of you have asked for an update on how things are going, so here is the latest.
(I’m still the CP for BS15 while BM still has BS12 & BS8)
