SD11 chokes SD6 - What do I do?

zenjetset's picture

On Tuesday of last week, my two SDs where in the back of the vehicle, fighting over a hat. SD11 took SD6 hat and tore it apart, she started to scream and cry. I stopped the vehicle and took SD11 hat off her head and threw it in the trash. Got back in the car and started driving. SD11 went into a complete RAGE. Screaming and yelling, kicking the back of the seat and hitting her fist on the ceiling of the car. Then, as if that wasn't out of control...she CHOKE SD6 with such angry and force that SD6 had marks on her neck after 15 minutes.

Update on CS

Well DH met with the lawyers yesterday and it turns out the BM should have been paying him CS the last 5 years almost 500 a month. He can't collect anything now. But, now that she has SD14 full time he owes according the the calculations about $96.00 a month. She doesn't realize that yet, since her lawyers and ours are playing chicken with each other. But, that is really far off of the $1500 she told DH she was entitled to. But, she only wanted $500 a month. Yeah right.

Why do I feel so guilty all the time??

So, I've been a step-mother for 6 years. I'm not going to lie it's been hard, it's been sad, it's made me doubt myself and question everything I've ever believed in or thought about myself. All that for very little reward. I guess that's part of being a step parent.

Actually, I do have a reward, my 20 month old daughter, who makes everything worthwhile. And those stolen moments with the other half which remind me why I'm with him in the first place.

Love this!!!

Bill Gates recently gave a speech at a High School about 11 things they did not and will not learn in school. He talks about how feel-good, politically correct teachings created a generation of kids with no concept of reality and how this concept set them up for failure in the real world.
Rule 1 : Life is not fair - get used to it!
Rule 2 : The world doesn't care about your
self-esteem. The world will expect you to accomplish something BEFORE you feel good about yourself.

Communication

Does anyone else just get ill inside when they know DH & BM are negotiating something. I do, and I swear my Dh ( dumba$$ husband) can not send her a response back that isn't argument evoking. He has insighted two incidents with either BM or BM related with his family that I ended up having to p/u the pieces after since the first week of June. She is very selfish when it come to thinking she should get every minuet of the kids time, but he is just such a uncouth doofus at times my head spins.

Slightly OT- The end is near... Suggestions needed

Princess 18 moves into the dorm August 15. With all the lies she's told lately and her pissy attitude- the day cannot come fast enough!

But I'm still pretty much the only mom she's got... and I do love her to death, and I would do anything for her. I've been shopping for her dorm since LAST August, so I have the bedding, towels, kitchen ware, laundry stuff and all cleaning supplies all set. She's taken care of her clothes needs. My parents took care of all of her computer needs.

Her roomie's got the TV, DVD, fridge, microwave...

The last straw

I gave hubby the ultimatum last night that his daughter has to be out of my house today. My youngest is turning four on the Sat. and is having a party with some of her little friends. She wanted it to be a fairy princess party so I have been making her a fairy princess costume, she can wear it again for Halloween. She has been so excited about her party, dancing and singing to herself and telling everyone that she's a fairy princess. Now I realize that it can get annoying but she's little and excited about her birthday, it's her first big girl party with friends.

anyone else deal with possessive bm??

so this girl treats dh as if he is her property and it irritates me!! for instance, at his family gatherings, when she dropped of sd, she gets out of the car walks to the back yard screaming his name looking for him (we were at a after party if you will for a baby's baptism) and hollerd at him infront of his ENTIRE family about something that could have been discussed quietly...i was preg for our first child at the time so i just let if slide and hoped that he would grow a pair and set her straight and he just told her something to shut up and walked off and she left.
