Hello all,
I moved out of my home that I shared with hubby and two stepdaughters. It was was to much chaos! A lot of verbal abuse from hubby. A lot of hateful actions from youngest stepdaughter.
The place I moved to is sooooo peaceful. I feel like I am on vacation. No one is talking down to me, yelling at me or being disrespectful. This is probably the best thing I have done for myself in quite a while.
If you feel like you are living in hell because of the contant drama, arguments and or abuse - find help, support or get out.
What does evey think.
Who gets what? Do Skids get equal shares to Bios? How is it distributed between yours/mine/ours?
Some very close family friends had a challenge with this. The wife died after ~35 years of marriage. Several years later her surviving spouse married the mother of their oldest child's wife who was also widow'd.
Our family friends had two children, who were ~28 (married to his future step sister) and 23 (unmarried at the time) when their mom died. The new wife (and oldest child's MIL) had 6.
So, SO and BM went to court for her contempt case for withholding access. Outside the court they agreed on a few things. We have them 1st 2 weeks of July and Aug and she has them 2nd 2 weeks of July and Aug. This was agreed outside via the lawyers and wasn't included in the court order which just dealt with passports and us taking them to Paris in August.
:O 3 hours until my fiancé and I pick up the skids and I'm not at all interested in seeing them. It's the first weekend since the choking incident and the entire week has been filled with text messages and voice message from BM and family. I know the skids are tainted by all of their poison and it's going to be a long long weekend. I've always looked forward to seeing them and spending time with them, now everything feels different. I'm trying to get over this feeling, but can't seem to shake it.
Just saw this as someone's status on FB: "taking Kade to hospital. mom if you are on line meeet me there. he wont wake up." REALLY!?!?!?!? How the hell do you have time to put in a FB status if you have to take your kid to the hospital because he won't wake up??? What a dumbass!!! It wasn't sent via text or iPhone or anything like that. The woman stopped at her computer before taking her kid to the hospital to post it.
Last weekend when skids were over ss15 and ss17 now drive to our house on their own instead of us having to pick them up at bms house. SS15 never rolls his window up on the passenger side of ss17's truck. DH and i were outside with my dog playing and he realized windows were down so he rolled them up since it was supposed to rain. When we went inside he reminded them that they need to roll windows up when they get here incase it would rain. This morning as I was out with my dog i realized that yet again their windows were down and it had rained last night.
And boy, does she break it down!! I didn't realize exactly how much of my frustration is compounded by the "step" situation. I'm also learning some insight about me, who I am, and feel validated in my how I feel.
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.
