Bad Bad Summer so Far and its not the Skids.

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.

Help! I have the urge to set BM straight on something!

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!

Single moms over 40 and what's important in a relationship

AlexandraL's picture

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.

Countdown on CS...why does it seem that the clock goes backwards??

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?

SS is Definitely Showing His True Colors

Pantera's picture

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.

Question: How legally binding is a document from court-ordered mediation?

Last-Wife's picture

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.
