Ok, after a week or two of visiting daily sometimes more, I figured it was time to blog who I am so to speak and why I'm here....give my stats..LOL. I am 42 mother of 3 amazing grown children. Two of them are still in college, one is out and travels around with his job. I was with their dad for 22 years, only married for a year of those in 1994. I should have never married him but I did and quickly regretted it, however after divorcing his sorry a** I decided to "stay" with him until the kids were into college.
I'm new to this website and found it while I was Googling for information about my frustration with my situation. It's amazing when I read all the different posts & comments and how similar my situation is to others'. I've been reading ST for a few weeks now because none of my family/friends can really relate to my frustrations, as none of them have ever dated or been married to someone that was married before or had children from previous relationships. I'm still learning all of the different abbreviations for things (i.e.
Where oh where has BM maternal instincts gone? I don't get it. You have this baby growing in you for 9 months, wouldn't you get some connection with that? My SS8 and SS7 have had to watch their BM do so many selfish things in their liftime. And more than 3 years I have devoted my life to them. They live with BF and I full time and only see BM 6 hours total in a months time. And she constantly is telling them to not call me Mom. Where does she get that right? Just because she gave birth to them? I am 100 times more of a Mom to them then she WILL EVER be.
I just started this blog and am new with this. But I think this will be much needed for me. I am a SM of an 8 year old boy and 7 year old boy. Have been for a bit over 3 years. And I;m not married yet to the BF. We have been engaged for 2 years 10 months. When him and his boys moved in with me, they didn't see their BM. In fact they were calling her by her first name. In last 6 months we found out the BM boyfriend had punched one of the boys and they have on several occessions seen him pysically abuse her in front of them.

I thought this one sentence quote would make a great blog and jumping off point for some of our relationships. No more needs to be said!
SD17 texted me the other morning, ended up with her agreeing to leave her car here in the afternoon, that way when we got back from Cali, she could just drive home. She agreed that it would be easier.
So we are getting ready, getting packed and here she comes rolling up with her boyfriend, in his TRUCK! Its not that I actually expected her to do what she said she was going to do. I immediately ran to BF and told him what had happened, that she agreed to drive her car here and leave it here, and now suddenly she shows up in her boyfriends car.
Ladies, i love this site and the fact that we can come here to vent about our situations....I want us to remember that along with Venting about our crazy BM's, i would like to here about your families and how what you love about you and your DH's family...i am a believer that at times we come here to vent and relax that anger or anxiety but it is also important to look at the great DH's we have, also this will get at the BM's on here who need to know there efforts will not break us up...

My step daughter no longer lives with us. We haven't seen her in months. She isn't spending time with us over the holidays. And yet, she still manages to get under my skin.
She forgot my youngest daughters birthday...her little sisters. She never phones to talk to them, or her dad. She has removed all of her father's famly from her FB account.
MY SS's are grounded for destructive and disrespectful behavior (breaking windows and lying about where they are, so son and so forth... the list is too long) So what does BM do with them on her weekend... take them to an amusment park WTF!!!!!.... What do you do with a BM like this?? I am so tired of raising her children!!!! I wish she would just take them!!!! GRRRR!!! I just don't know what to do?!
