I am leaving my wife!!!!!!!!

Rags's picture

.......... at least for a month or two!!!!!!! I got a promotion and a transfer to the regional HQ office. My wife is a CPA and it is tax season so she cannot move until after April 15th and our Son is a Sr in HS and graduates the last WE in May so the movers will pack us up in June.

I start the new job on April 1 so I will once again be a full time road warrior for few months. Once we relo then I will be traveling domestically and internationally about 25% of the time which means any where from 1-2 days each week to 1-2wks out of 6wks depending on destination.

ugh. i've been up since 3 am, drinking coffee and trying not to think. this happens way more often than i would like. i'm tired of being tired. i'm tired of trying to figure out ways of dealing with stuff.

I hate these Friday's when both Step kids are going to be here!!!

who else is with me on this? do you get those sick to your stomach feelings when you know the nest 3 days are going to be absolute hell? You know I wouldn't have a problem with it soo much if BM would take both of her kids instead of just one. I could deal somehow if it was just every other weekend with the skids but I get to keep one of them full time, and I don't want to. The worst thing is now ss12 wants to go live with BM and she told him "no"!!!! WTF!!!!

The ultimatum

So, I talked to my SD14 when she got home from school and told her that she has an option. Either she can come clean with her father on her own or I will do it for her. I'm trying to get her to take responsibility for her actions. She is not speaking to me now, and I'm sure she HATES me. Typical teenage reaction to not getting their way. She doesn't want to be like BM, but she acts just like her all the time. I'm trying to get her to learn the difference between the way BM acts and the way she wants to be.

Teen stepson acts like a 9 year old

I am wondering if I am the only one out there who struggles contantly with my SS? He has been in my life for 8 years now and as time goes by, I dislike him more and more. When he was 6, his behavior was fine, but at 14, it is not. He hasn't changed much over the years and it is terribly frustrating.

Caught SD lying on the phone again to BD...

saying such lies about my wife, myself and the kids. Therapy isn't working, trying to show her we believe her and trust her isn't working, giving her the benefit of the doubt isn't working...she literally doesn't know the truth from the lies anymore. I really wish I didn't care about this kid because i'd walk away...but I do care. Any advice would be greatly appreciated because I truly have tried everything and the only thing that seems to scare her is the idea of going to live with her BD full time.

Joy continues...

...woke up happy simply because I was happy yesterday. Interesting concept! Can even enjoy a few laughs with PITA and his friend, as they eat all my food and work on homework together. PITA was yelling at the other kid that the answer was on the map in the back of the book. PITA then broke into song, singing Dora's "I'm the map, I'm the map, I'm the map!"

From a 15 yo skid with no sense of humor or niceness towards me, this just actually made me bust out laughing, and he looked at me and laughed too...

Reconsidering

goaway's picture

Well after my SD being out for 3 months it has been wonderful but my husband had moved out also to be with her we're trying parenting classes and counseling, first i'm going , then husband and I , eventually with her. His lease will be up in August when and if things go well they are coming back to the house. Has anyone been through something similar? Separation then try it again one more time? It's such a confusing period and has put strain on the marriage because of the separation but the only happy one here is her since she doesn't have to share Dad at all.
