Hi, I just found this site --- and wish I found it 5+ years ago!! I have been living with the DRAMA of a BM for a long time. I have gone through jealousy, obsession, hatred, disgust, disinterest, and just wishing she would GO AWAY. This week end ended in an incident where her fiance threatened to "Knock you both out - I don't care." -- referring to my DH and me --- while I was with my DH's and my 4 year old, and my DH was holding our 2 year old.
so my ss BM hasn't seen him in 3 weeks. She has talked to him twice. She text me to say that she really misses him and wants to see him. but as some of you know we are waiting for a judge to say we have to send him over there. But anywho! The two times she has spoken with him its been for a matter of two minutes three at the most! He "PERFECT" mother who claims to love ss so much has not called or anything. They sit and say they love and care for this little boy so much but seriously have made no effort to change our minds about visitation! Someone please explain this to me!
My fiances family is very hateful to me because his sister hates me. She runs the family from across the country. She has no kids, no drivers licence, no husband, and lives in California and I live in Maine. She comes home three times a yr and wants to take over for that week. She is loud, obnoxious and insulted my family last xmas and I got blamed for it by his whole family. My family lives four hrs from here and they came for xmas eve. He also has a weirdo 16 yr old with definate mental issues. The whole family is in denial over that.
Is there anyone on here that doesnt have drama with their BM, where you actually get along with the other party and both sides are cordial.
Something struck me yesterday about BM (she had phoned OH about 10 times in an hour, and was sending messages via SS10 saying he HAD to text her when we were setting off to bring SS10 home).
Their 'marriage' was solely about SS10, he was the reason behind them deciding to get married, and the reason they stayed together for so long. Therefore, when the marriage ended in actual fact their relationship didn't really change that much - they were still just communicating as parents of a child, and for a while as kind of housemates.
brief history - BF has had court ordered EOW access for sd7 and sd5 for 4 years, ex would delay it sometimes and interrupted a time or two but mostly he was able to pick them up. 6 weeks ago went to court for variation of maintenance and got it reduced. Ex was demanding that one asset given to our child dd3 be handed over to her but judge refused. Ex shouted at him in court and the judge told her to shut up. Ex immediately stopped access and bf hasn't seen his children since.
Well! I've finally joined after a few months of lurking 
Just a Blog to say HI to all & to tell you a little about me.
I am so tired of FishNchip sending her kids over sick! I have talked to DH about it and we agreed they would not be sent over here sick all the time because then my son gets it and who needs to get a household sick. But...once again...he won't stand up to her and just explain why. She wants her "free nights" so we get the sick, whiney, up all night kids. I am SO tired of it. and these kids are sick ALL THE TIME! I swear. I know, being a nurse, that these kids should not be sick the way they are. Maybe her house is dirty, or the day care, but something isn't right.
So, there is so much background that I would want to talk with anyone about.
But, if your stepkid tells their bio-parent (your partner) that they want to talk with you about stress/conflict in the household, would you do it? My SS does, apparently. I am a very upfront person and usually fine with confrontation, but he is 10. And much of my conflict with his dad is a result of his mom (no one talks about the conflict between his parents) or b/c he acts as if he lives in a hotel.
Princess WILL NOT get me down, but damn, I am angry and hurt. I'm venting so this doesn't get me down. Our house has been SO happy and "even" for the last month. I'm not going to let her teen girl outburst ruin me.
So, Loghead and I were talking in the kitchen, and she comes in and starts rambling about something that happened at work. I could see Loghead totally zone out. Even though I didn't care, I stayed focused. And then she throws in, "Oh, yeah. That graduation party you're planning? I don't want one, so don't expect me to help get the house ready."
