Part of me wants to stay and the other part says go...

Fsil showed up today, and of course this was a nightmare. It was like you two really need to think about things before you get married here. I have delt with so much in the past four months with fdh being gone from his mother, and now that he is home am now having to deal with it from fsil. I am really not sure how much more of this I can take here. Part of me wants to pack my bags and leave, but the other part wants to stay because I am in love with fdh. He has told me that his past relationship have not lasted, and from what I am going through now with his family I can see why.

The Secret Is Wine

And lots of it! I just discovered how to get through a PIL visit, effortlessly and painlessly: stay sloshed on wine at all times. My MIL is a wine fan, so I got a huge bottle and was Mrs. Drunky McSlosherson all weekend. Wink It made everything so much better! I just smiled a bunch and clutched my giant wine goblet to my chest at all times. I'm not much of a drinker and usually prefer to be alert in social/family situations, but this weekend I wanted to keep a pleasant

I am all for uplifting and support. I am a woman of faith myself but this just really ticked me off. MIL is apparently sharing SD and DH moving out situation with her church family. One of then sent SD17 a fruit basket and had it delivered to the house this weekend. OMG...I am so over the crap. First MIL crosses the line and offers SD a way out, so there is no reason for SD to heaven forbid improve her attitude and contribute to this house, now there's a concept.

What is wrong in this world?

I just had to vent about this.

I'm a member of another web-site's blog board (pregnancy site), and I'm finding it harder and harder to bite my tongue. What is going on in the world these days????

I've been reading blogs about 'my baby daddy' left me with our 3 kids. I'm 25 yo and married for 12 years. I had my first at age 14. On and on and on. Some women who think they're feeling the baby kick on the right side of their boob. The insanity goes on and on.

Frustrated

My step daughter was five when I married her father. She was cute but lived with her mother more than 1200 kilometers away from us, so not really a part of our lives. My husbands access to her was limited to the odd business trip to the area. That is, until her mother decided to move closer to us shortly after we got married. All of a sudden, from limited minimal contact to every second weekend and every other holiday for two to three weeks at a time. At first it didn't bother me at all. In fact, when I first saw my husband and his daughter together, I was really touched by it.

Getting a lawyer...

DH has all papers in order that shows that BM is 100% responsible for the house. DH says he will not stop at that. He's going to at least get a better visitation agreement, if not full custody. We'll have to see what the lawyer says about that. We have all e-mails from BM and SD16 saved so those will be printed out for the lawyer. I'm hoping what we have will help enough for DH and his children to see each other more (or all the time). This all has to be on the roll by tomorrow. DH has 28 days till court. Now, it's time to get back to my research.
