DH and I decided to separate. His son ruined our relationship and DH let it happen. I would never make DH choose between his son and I, so I am leaving. I have been looking for a place to live for 3 days. NO LUCK (I either can't afford it or I cant have a dog bigger than 25 lbs.). I have a dog and getting rid of him is not an option. So for the last 3 days while I hide in our home because everything is AKWARD to say the least, DH has taken a fucking interest in his child finally.
bm and dh are going to try to have either a mediation or a court date soon to finalize the custody order and he found out today from his lawyer that bm is asking for a few thousand 'for all length of time this has taken' BS!!! His lawyer is going to send him all her requests pretty soon so he can see for himself. but if anything, DH should be the one asking for money from her! If she wouldnt have kept sd away from him for 6 months he wouldnt of ever had to hire a lawyer to try and get visitation!
Many of the recent posts have been about birth parents (primarily DH's, BF's) inability to parent their kid(s).
What are they so afraid of? That their children won't like them? We all hear the same excuses over and over. The kids has been through so much with the divorce, their ex mistreats the child, guilt parenting, PAS parenting. I STILL hear it from my DH and my SD is 27 YO! :jawdrop:
About a month ago I called CPS to report BM. SD11 is left home alone for extended periods of time. She also has some serious mental issues as well as physical that aren't being dealt with.
My husband & I have a blended family. Recently my husband & my 17 yr old have become very close. At first I saw this as a blessing. I really do want this for her. She doesn't have her father in her life. I have to say that I do trust my husband. This situation is just not setting well with me. Recently they have been having snuggle time a lot. I can't ever seem to get a word in because they are wrapped up with each other. I call home from work to check in & they are snuggling on the couch. My other daughter calles me a while later & I asked about them.
Hey ya'll! I am 21 almost 22. I have a BF that I have been with for 3 years. We are not married yet but we are talking about. We love each other and are very serious. He has a little girl. Cute little thing. She is 11. I love her. She lives with us full time. I hate his nasty ex wife. She looks like the dog draged her in from the barn under the horses feet. haha. I hope ya'll can help me work through this. LOl
So this is my first entry and I am kind of scared at how this will pan out. My story starts like this, I met my now fiance 6 years ago this month and I knew he had two girls but didn't find out till later that he was going thru a divorce. Maybe I should have walked away then but I didn't and so here I am struggling to smile. For years I spent alot of time with his kids even more time than their own parents did and so I got attached like if they were my own. Last year the Ex went a little nuts and I mean took them away the day before Father's day and just recently we got them back.
After reading the letter that SD21 wrote to DH, I've been taking a close, hard look at our situation.
I asked DH to please, PLEASE tell me what I did to make SD21 so angry with me. He thought about it at work all day Monday and can't come up with anything. I've racked my brain to try to figure this out, too. Can't figure it out. The bitterness she expressed in her letter is very upsetting and very hurtful. So I'm trying to figure out a way to improve this situation.
HELP! Does anyone else deal with any of these problems with the BM and if so how do you handle them?
Bribing the children to stay at her home and giving them guilt trips if they come to our home.
Discussing legal proceedings with the children regarding out petition to modify and gain full custody of the kids.
Telling the kids, their teachers and others that the kids have various mental illnesses and disabilities and then "treating" them for her made up diagnoses.
BM refuses to work and lives off of child support.
DH and I pay 50/50 for everything. House, house bills, groceries…yada, yada, yada. But I don’t want to pay half for groceries anymore.
My daughter works full time and goes to school full time. My son works part time, school full time and plays baseball year round. No school for summer right now) They eat at our house MAYBE 2 time a month. That is not bending the truth. My daughter may eat fruit if I buy it. Neither one of them eats breakfast and are only here for dinner maybe once every few weeks. No lunches ever. They are usually not there for that either.
