Advice from my forum on Jealousy and Guilt

marina2000's picture

I would just like to thank Kidsaplenty for the advice - My SD12 is going to a party tonight that will finish at 11pm so I asked my BF if he would be up for a meal and then we can collect SD12 after - RESULT he said yes! I might be able to have a chat with him as well about stuff going on in my head in a neutral surrounding. THANK YOU xxx Biggrin

She commited suicide. Please don't let this happen to you.

I am writing this blog on behalf of my fiancé who committed suicide on the 8th of November 2009.

She had been a member of your site for what I believe to be at least the last 12 months. From what she has told me the last few months she was just mainly reading and getting advice from replies to different posts.

BM is stupid

Bradybunchmom's picture

Well I decided to just keep writing, and if people I know read it oh well. I will probably still delete things out after awhile though.

Anyhow BM has a son she had with the man she was cheating on my fiance with. He is a bit over a year i think. They are currently going through a massive custody battle, and she claims he abused him to the point that he is now going blind...apparently from being hit in the head/eyes. I have no idea of any of this is true, its just what she has told fiance.

"Planned" children vs. "unplanned" children

Anon2009's picture

I know that a lot of us here have skids who weren't "mutually planned" by our DHs/SOs/FHs. In fact, my DH has told me in private that he feels BM went off the pill to get pregnant with SD13 after he told her he didn't want kids. In fact, this seems to happen a lot in Hollywood too. Tom Brady might feel that Bridget went off the pill deliberately. Whether she did or not, we'll never know. Hopefully though, he loves both of his children equally in his heart.

Let's just see how all this plays out...............

BM signed SD10 up for soccer.......HER decision, no discussion with us at all. BM got pissed that we are making her pay the WHOLE $60 for this - ha, go figure. (we paid $140 for softball)

So this past Saturday was the first game. I had been asking for a copy of the schedule since last Monday. I heard every time I asked "mommy forgot, she will give us one tomorrow". I quit asking after Thursday. Sometimes I think BM will purposely not give me the things I ask for just to get on my nerves, so I will NOT ask for another schedule.

Has the BM you deal with ever done this???

I actually find this kind of funny. BM is currently going through the process of divorcing her SO. Well SD15 asked BM if she would ever get back together with my DH. BM told SD15 that it isn't an option b/c I am in the picture and that BM actually doesn't find my DH attractive anymore. Ok here comes the funny part.....I seen a picture of the guy BM is currently dating (even though less than a month ago BM stated she doesn't need a man). The guy BM is dating could pass as my DHs twin.

My evil mind tricks are working!

Snarky's picture

So I dragged my tired cranky butt to the mailbox today, up the hill and through the rain *heh*, thinking about all the tedious things that must be done today, when I open the mailbox and find a strange envelope. It's addressed to Mr. and Mrs. Snarky, written in a child's handwriting, from SD's elementary school. Already forgetting my woes, I open the letter to find this:

Here we go again in 2010..... Same old bull again!

BM has already attempted to screw up for this month for pick ups. However we don't fuss with her any more - we drive down get a receipt when we get there and one when we leave. Then we fax it to the lawyer as ammo in the next court case.

She has already filed child support court twice - one for medical - it was dismissed and again for income - it will probably be dismissed as well. We just left court Sept 09 for the same things.

My 14yr old stepdaughter has such a bad attitude & is so disrespectful to all of us other than her mother

meanpocahontas's picture

Well to start off just so you have some insight as to what challenges we started off with. My boyfriend/fiance whom I have lived with for the past 3 years now has 2 step kids, 14yr girl and a 17yr old boy, an ex wife which he divorced 4 yrs ago and was married nearly 15yrs to. The ex had been an alcoholic and a prescription pill popper for the last 8 years of their marriage, progressing every day till their last day together. The last episode was right before Thanksgiving and Xmas. She was highly intoxicated and on some pills.
