Paying support while son at camp ????

kandhtoys's picture

I need some help,
I am going to domestics on Thursday of this week.
I have been paying child support for my two kids for the last 6 years. My Daughter just turnes 18 so I am going back to DR to get it reduced for just one child.
My question is...for the last 12 months my boy has been put at a full-time boy behavior camp. he was sent there by the courts because of behavior problems, Drugs, stealing etc.

Just HOW exactly did he THINK I would react?!

Loghead sent his son, PITA 15, to live with his grandparents back in May for some things he said and did to me. IT was VERY ugly and hateful!

Loghead was very supportive of it all, and told PITA he could not return home until he made amends and attempted a better attitude towards me and the son Loghead and I have together. I'm at a point right now, where I don't want to be around that kid at all...

So how exactly did Loghead think I would react when I came home from my mini-vacation with my SD to find PITA was here?

My Granny was such a smart woman.........

and the advice she gave has stayed with me thru my life

1.Don't ever give up on trying to look nice,you never know when you'll be single

2.Keep a stash of money,enough that you can leave at any given time.

3.Screw me once shame on you,screw me twice shame on me.

My granny was a realist see?

In need of inspiration...

As I posted earlier this week, I ended things with my BF. At first I was numb and now I am very sad, but feel my decision was the right thing. I think the hardest part of it all is accepting that I made the decision to move to my new town and all the negative things that resulted from that. I left a good paying jobs and colleagues that I loved, left my family, who helped me as a divorced mom of two, my hometown, my friends. I took a job in my new state and was unhappy, so I suppose it was a gift in a way that my position was eliminated earlier this year.

Kinda OT but super exciting!

So I went to the hospital yesterday because I have been getting weird pains on my cervix (sorry guys). I'm only 35 weeks along but baby has dropped and is pushing against my cervix. So I guess it wont be as long as we thought it would be! It could be anytime. The doctor suggested a big expensive belly sling, but if I make it untill the 27th then I'm just going to go buy a cheap one from walmart. The pain sucks, but BABY'S COMING SOON!!! Biggrin

Expectations from Steps when they are in your home

So this was our weekend without kids. We had a great weekend. We pick up my kids this morning and get laundry started. It seems last time (Wed night)his daughters were here, SD9 decides to leave her dirty clothes on the floor next to her bed. Yes, she has a hamper in her room. Yes, she is a slob. She was told before about leaving pants in the hamper when they are inside out with underwear still attached.

Time moves on and heals all wounds... (or most anyway)

I had family disown me when I decided to marry my husband. Some disapproved of him having been my boss, some disapproved of him having been divorced, others disapproved of him having custody of his three small children. But I did it anyway...

And it's not all been a walk in the park, but I do think the good outweighs the bad. This time of year is hard for me, as we get ready for my annual family reunion. This will be our 20th Annual gathering. I do have 5 relatives who still- after 13 years- will leave the room if myself or my husband enters the room. Screw them.

What is my problem?

I feel so lonely. I am a SAHM. BD is 8, BS is 5. My SD's live with us full time and they are 15 & 12. And there is no EOE away from them. Their mother has no visitation rights. My DH works a lot of hours too. He leaves at 5:15pm and can get off work anywhere from 2:45-6:30 a.m. Then he comes home and sleeps all day of course, gets up anywhere from 1:00-3:00 depending on what time he gets home. I am here all day with these kids. I am so LONELY. It seems like everyone has a life, but me, but I don't want to go do anything and I don't want people to come see me. So what's the deal?

What do you do when the trust is all gone?

redheaded_stepmom's picture

I'm having issues with being able to trust SD. After all that has happened with her over the years since I've been in her life, I am at the point where I just don't think I will ever be able to trust her again. She has lied to me about big things, little things, and everywhere in between. She has been caught stealing things from me, from her friends, from stores. She is disrespectful and unappreciative. Every time I start to think I can trust her again, she does something that blows it all to hell. I hate the thought of having a child that I think of as my own that I don't trust.
