Don't Let Life Take Yours

Fading's picture

Just one last message about suicide and loss. If anyone here is ever feeling that they are teetering on the edge and can't bring yourself to speak to someone you know or know someone who is considering suicide, please call 1-800-273-TALK. Its the National Suicide Hotline and they are more than willing to help you and find someone that can help you. They helped me. Don't let life take yours.

Was I talking to myself?

Last night I was already frustrated when DH and SD7 got home because baby girl was having a fuss day. DH starts letting baby girl pet and pull on one of our cats, and I ask him to not do that because earlier in the day I was having a really hard time getting baby girl to be gentle with the cats so I would just like him to leave it alone. What does DH do while I'm sitting right there? Let baby girl pull on the cat!! Like he must know better and I did something wrong earlier.

I have noticed that the responses to the blogs do not go in order as to when they were posted for example
if
1. posted at 1
2. posted at 2
3 posted at 4

The way they will show up on my blog would be

2.
1.
3.

It makes it hard to follow the thread. Is this new or did I just start noticing it?

BS5 got out of school early due to snow. I was trying to finish work, so turned on cartoon network---usually squat is on. But today, "Tom and Jerry". My BS was rolling w/laughter. He never laughs like that w/the crap on today. I miss Bugs Bunny, Mighty Mouse, and all the classic Looney Tunes. :?

Starting Here, Starting Now

My problems with blogs has always been that I want to start at the very beginning ... and it's just not possible ... so I never get anything written. I guess that says something about living in the present.

So, today I joined StepTalk and today I'm starting this blog. With the here and now, the rest may or may not get filled in in time, but the important part is getting it out.

So frustrated!!

I have disengaged in my house this week and it is not getting any better. My SD and her Dad had an argument last night and he grounded her from everything. She somehow got a phone and called the BM and she called the husband to tell him to lay off SD. 45 minutes later and he is so frustrated, that I offered to move back to my house since it has not sold. She told the mom about me correcting her on silverware when setting the table and making her use a side door to come in the house.

New and finally reaching out

Get off the wrong foot and on to the right's picture

After 4 years of trying to figure it out myself... I give up. I need some advise on how to switch from the bad to the good without it blowing up in my face. Please read my Bio to understand the situation I am in. I have a few suggestions for myself to initiate a better future for my family and the BM. I also need help to get my heart from jumping out of my chest every time she is around and simmer the aggressive feeling I have. Here they are:

Ask her to lunch just the two of us to discuss our differences and how to come to common ground
