Should I have handled it differently?

What a relief to have this community back! I had my first real "conversation" with BM last week on Facebook. It was wild! It lasted for about 45 minutes, & I was completely drained by the end of it. I was missing Steptalk something fierce, & wishing I could just sign on & ask for answers. I did manage to muddle my way through it, however, I can't claim it graceful. Smile I was completely unprepared for the sh!t slinging. I'm not sure why.

Mother's Day

Hope everyone had a super terrific Mother's Day! Mine was very uneventful. My Bf's 10 year old daughter went to her BM for a couple hours so that was a nice break from her. She is getting worse about constant nagging and whining so a 15 minute break from her is nice. I'll take what I can get. In the last couple of weeks, I have completely detached from her. I am nice to her but I am very unemotional. I don't even try anymore because it is draining me and upsetting me.

BM lets SD have a FB....

I know we've had this post several times; unfortunately I think our situation is taking the cake! SD is 5 years old!!! And psycho-cow BM thinks it's okay for a 5 year old child to have a FB account!! :jawdrop: This kid can't even read or write anything more than the alphabet...what in the heck does she need a FB for? BM says its so she can play all the games (farmville, cafe world, petville). Cool, those games are kid friendly, FDH knew this and set a Petville game up for her under HIS account. So she would only play it with him, and she didn't have access to anything else.

Wanting To Get Back To A Healthy Place...Any Advice?

We have been dealing with a huge assortment of drama from BM for over 4 years now. All of this drama has caused a lot of turmoil in my home from problems with DH to problems with SK's and even problems with my biodaughter. We have finally gotten to a point where things are good between DH and I and have managed to keep my biodaughter fairly protected from the aftermath. One problem still remains...the step daughters 6 and 10.

Thank God ST is Back

I was beginning to go through withdrawls I think. I've had some MAJOR issues and of course, no one to talk to! We got our puppy about 2 weeks ago and he's terrific, such a good little boy. But SD on the other hand is still an unholy terror! She's been abusing the pup every chance she gets. She steals all his toys and hides them, chokes him, throws him and I am pretty sure she hurt his leg the other day because he won't walk on it at all today. (I am taking him to the vet today) I'm thinking this happened when I caught her HANGING him UPSIDE DOWN by his rear legs...

I have been in Qatar for a month now and have been going through wife, Skid and Stalker withdrawals.

Thanks for getting the site up and running again so us Stalker junkies can get our vent on.

You may recall that my SS had recently received his first 6wk Report Card and was on the honor role.

Well, meanwhile 4 wks later and back at the ranch ..........

getting up to speed since last blog

cruder's picture

Hi there, so its been a few months since the 'brat is back' blog. Well, theres been phases of it. Up and down. Ultimately Its school (and oh...having to like...work..and..pay attention) thats the real problem for SS. He has fairly bad Learning Disabilities (LD), and seemingly has such low motivation that it smells like low self-esteem (or maybe depression). My partner reminds me that 'Im not a doctor' so i should shut up and watch as he maybe never gets the help he needs...... But, the kid, he just can't see/sense how good hes actually got it - and how much worse it could be.

Was just told by 11 yo SD to "Get over it!"

And I am beyond livid...because once again DW did NOT back me up and let her say this without being punished...then had the NERVE to say it was my fault...IN FRONT OF SD! Therapy has been working very well and I was warned there would be lapses but my patience is running thin...very thin...
