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.
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?
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.
For those of you ladies who are married and only have step kids, are you planning on doing anything for your DH on fathers day? Just wondering what others do in this situation
So Bm has decided we have gotten along for long enough. She has treatened to withhold SD from us if we do not attend a bday party she is throwing for SD with all of Bms family. They share joint custody, but the only access ruling is one that was put in place for when Bm moved away. Dh is supposed to have generous and reasonable access.
Well I'm sure all of you can guess, my wonderful little world has been crashing around me for the last day. Why else would I return to rant about my life, right?
I have 38 days left till my due date. My pregnancy is going awesome. I have been healthier then ever before and I just love being pregnant!
Me and Dh have been going to councilling and it has helped alot. My own personal councilling has helped me out alot too.
Now for the last bit of my life....
SD and BM.
In a few weekends, BM and I will be at a bridal shower together at a restaurant - it is the FIRST EVER function we have ever been to (literally having to be in the same enclosed room) at the same time. The bridal shower is being thrown for SS26's fiancee'. Her mother & BM sent me an invitation, which I hesitantly accepted (after discussing with BF and him feeling that I "belong" there for his son's sake).
I bought my kids a $200.00 swimming pool,not huge but big enough for all of them to cool off in it...SS posted today on his Facebook,He was "Chillin in his pool" and drinkin' vodka...God I hate him and I wish I could afford vodka,I probably could if dipshit would pay rent,he's such a jackass.I wanna put itch powder in his underwear,and then lace the calamine lotion with turpentine.
Well I hope this showes the GAL what is really going on. SS13 has now missed another visit. My H talked to the GAL today and she told him and his mother that SS13 needs to be coming for his visits and if not she was preparted to have him removed or put into foster placement as a consequence. SS13 gave the GAL this week this whole sob story about how he "supposedly" does not like me and that I am mean and abusive but could not give her one example. We know it is his mother per the therapists (5 total) that have been working with.
So the chances of SD14 coming for the weekend are slim, I'm sure SS11 and SD12 will come. Me and DH were talking about her today and he said that's it, he doesn't even want her to come anymore. I know that SD14 saying she doesn't want to come over anymore is killing him inside, and the best way he knows to deal with it is to disengage. It hurts me to see this happening. SD14 has been driving us nuts lately with the lies and failing grades and stealing, but we still want a relationship with her. DH is hurt right now, but doesn't know what to do.
