What is YOUR Christmas wish, Step-wise?

Stepmom2Ched's picture

My Christmas Wish stepwise, is that BM lets DH take full custody of their son, and he lives with us permanently. He transfers schools, and sees BM every other weekend, with her driving half way to pick up her son and to drop him off with DH.

Also she would get NO MORE child support for him, and we wouldn't ask her for any. And the cherry on top? Letting me adopt my SS so she's no longer such an influence in his life.

It's a wish that will never ever come true, but at least I can dream about it.

Merry Christmas to all!

The Shrine

Ok...so I know it's Christmas, and I'm trying hard to temper my feelings... but shit my DH coddles his baby 8 year old son sooo much it just makes me want to vomit. Today the "shrine" is bothering me... what do I mean by this? On DH's night stand he keeps a big picture in a frame of SS8, it's huge... on My dresser I have pictures of all the kids doing various things... SS included... I said to him

Denying Time

So today is our day w/ SS1 and BM decided to take him w/ her to her new bfs parents house over 2 hrs away. Her BF who she has only been w/ for maybe 2 wks. I was wondering what we can do about this since she is denying us our time and took him during our time. If you have been through this before or know what we should do about it please let me know. Also she randomly changed his bedtime from 9 to 8 to shorten our time. Is there anything we can do about that? I know he isnt going to bed even at 9 because he sleeps w/ her and everytime we get him he just sleeps the entire time.

More bad press for step-parents: Needle Boy

StepMadre's picture

I just read about the needle boy from Brazil and it seriously made me physically ill. Number one, it is one of the most horrifying and disgusting cases of child abuse I have read about. That anyone could give a child alcohol until they passed out and then stick needles in them in an effort to kill them is the most horrible thing i've read in a long time!!!!!! Apparently, the psycho step-father did all this in an effort to get revenge on the mom. They didn't say what the revenge was for, but I think it's irrelevant.

Court tomorrow for Christmas visit

We have court tomorrow morning to decide if BM gets to see my SS7 and SS8 for Christmas. We have received a letter from SS8's therapist that visits aren't the best for him emotionally and notes from a few visits to show how she violated a court order with the boys during a visit. I ask for prayers that the Judge decides against the visit. Only because they just had a visit with her on Sunday the 20th and SS7 had a mental breakdown because he didn't want to see her and he begged us not to make him see her.

The demons soon return!!!! I already have an upset stomach!!!

Bm called today to find out when she can bring her boys over for Christmas, she wanted to do that today, I made excuses and said we were too busy today, so she is bringing them tommorrow. In the background I heard" we don't want to go today, take us over tommorrow night and then pick us up at noon!!" The little brats are only interested in getting gifts!! they don't want to be here for family dinner, and they don't want to go to family gettogether later that night and another one on boxing day, It's all about what they might get!!! Greedy little brats.

Following on C_G's last blog

belleboudeuse's picture

I just read Constantly_Guilty's last blog "Sad and Hurt for My SD10 This Christmas", about how her SD's BM can't even be bothered to MAIL her own daughter a Christmas present. Instead, she's going to wait until the next time she sees her -- in APRIL.

I started writing a ranty response because I can SOOOOOO relate to how C_G feels, but then I realized I was probably hijacking and should just rant in my own blog.

First Day.....

Im_Still_ME's picture

Maybe it will help to get some of this off of my mind! Had a long discussion with him last night. Told him that I needed to be put first, my feelings need to be considered. How would he feel if he came to my parents house and they had my ex there to have dinner with them, or talked about my ex all night. Would it make him feel unwanted; hurt, like he wasnt good enough? Told him I am tired of his daughter showing up whenever she wants, I just get "told" that she is on her way over. HELLO??? What if we have plans, what if I would like a quiet no drama evening with my husband???
