DH and I started family therapy yesterday, which was advised to do by the court social worker. At first I didn't think we needed to go and that it was just for court, but after getting in there and hearing DH talk as is we have everything under control and things are getting better between us all, Im just like, wait a minute, Is he crazy. Yes I must admit things have been nice since SD11 came back from Xmas vacation but even I can see that there is still a lot of things that we need to work on. I get so tired of DH's positive personality.

I know this may sound unpopular

but I have been thinking about something lately. A common complaint here is that the ILs are too close to BM.

Having said that, and knowing about a lot of the BMs' actions, I can certainly understand why this would anger so many people. However, I think the ILs may be acting the way they do so they can see their grandkids as much as they can.

As many of you know, my parents divorced when I was young. They were high-school sweethearts. They grew up together. Their families have known and been friends with each other for an eternity.

HELP!!!!! Advice needed please

I have been a single mother to a daughter for most of her life. Her father I divorced over 8 years ago she is currently 16. Her father has no part of her life never has, he currently is living in the woods he is a homeless crack head. I have been involved in a live in relationship with a man that has two kids a daughter 14 and son 8. Of course the two girls get along one minute and they are at each others throat the next, that is normal sister like behavior. My concern is my boyfriend doesn't like my daughter! he barely speaks a word to her or acknowledge's her exist in the house.

Why Why Why

We had SD4 yesterday and she was her natural annoying self, but now she has started to do the 'why' thing. She hasn't done this before and I know it is natural for many kids to get to this stage but does it HAVE to be so darn annoying?!? She was watching Barbie Mermaidia and kept asking why to EVERYTHING from why is barbie blonde to why doesn't Bibble talk like Barbie does. Then she wanted DH to read her a book on firsts (plane ride, day of school, siblings etc) and yet again she asked WHY TO EVERYTHING.

The art of self-sabotage...

Belle's Blog about the Other Woman - whether she be a SM, or just the Other Woman, and the responses to it got me thinking for a bunch of various reasons.

One of the things it led me to though was the art of self-sabotage.

You know... when you do something purposefully destructive to yourself, your life, your psyche, your relationship.... because it is easier or more of a relief to just do it, rather than take the harder road of self-restraint, or discovery, or whatever the case may be.

I should check the chineese calendar, as I'm pretty sure that is what this year is.
DH tells me on Monday, Tuesday and this morning, that he will not be able to come home this weekend. He is suppose to have his children this weekend, and his mom's 60th b'day party is on Saturday, and my mom's 61 party is on Sunday. I tell him fine, work, not much you can do about it. I tell him I will get his kids on Saturday, take them to his mom's party and then take them home. I thought I was being nice.

We Win in Court Again

Well BM lost again in court, nothing was granted to her and now we have the boys 90% of the time. What is she thinking she moved to Florida from San Diego and only calls the boy at the advice of the Mediator and that’s only twice a week and only been for the last month. So judge denied her request for any physical custody, denied her request that we pay half of travel expenses for them to see her on holidays which they refuse to see her anyways so good luck with that one BM….. lets see FSA force unwilling children on a plane.
