I am looking for some advice on how to tackle the prickly situation I have going on in my home.
My step daugtter who lives in another part of the county has done some pretty hurtful things to her dad and our home since she moved out of our house this past summer. The biggest and most recent being cutting off contact with her dad, myself and her sisters (our daugthers) and taking her moms maiden name. My husband has NO relationship with his ex and neither do I. It has gotten to the point where my husband is hurt and hasn't been trying to contact his daughter.
Apparently there was some type of emergency at BM's house tonight at 5pm and she called DH to see if he could come and get SS7 and keep him until Sunday evening.
She didn't go into ANY detail of what's going on. She did tell DH to not bother taking their son to school on Thursday or Friday. WTF? Is he SICK? (DH didn't mention he was.)
After 1o plus years with my Step Daughter and with only a few hiccups with the Mom. We have planned an amazing vacation to DisneyLand for the Holidays. The mother has know and consented to let the Daughter go. Until now 48 hours prior to leaving. She has also blocked us from calling her or the Daughter and will not reply to any messages left.
So here we are. 2 years of being together, finally moved into our own home. 4 wonderful children. 2 each from previous marriages. 3 girls and 1 boy. The 2 youngest are 5 yrs my bio daughter, 4 yrs his bio son.
We come from very different diciplinary backgrounds. All 3 girls are well behaved for the most part. The 4 yr old boy is not. We have ongoing issues with him from eating dinner, throwing things, not listening to time for bed. All of this was 4 years with no dicipline and will take time and consistency to correct.
so i didnt send mil a card this year because i can not and will not EVER forgive the fact that she tried to help bm get full custody 2 weeks after dh and i were married. along with all her other satan like behavior....anyways, sil calls dh today to bitch dh out, that mil's feelings are hurt because everyone else in the family got a card besides her.....oh boo frekity hoo right?! anyways, sil goes on to say well maybe you should look at your self since your the one with no relationship with any of your family...dh flies of the handle and ends the convo upset
I have enjoyed reading the posts here over the past several months! I haven't felt like I have had time to start blogging my own story. But today the utter stress and tiredness of the holiday preparation has finally set in, and I don't feel like doing anything else.
This post is to give everyone a little background on the relationship that DH & I have.
As most of you know SD21 sent me some very hateful text earlier in the year. SInce that time, I have not spoken to her. She has been in the same room at family functions but thats it. Every Christmas she comes home and wakes up christmas morning with my other SD16 and my two girls.
I know I do not post many blogs on here but this one just has to be put out there. I am so sick of when people ask for advice on how to handle a situation they are told to leave and never look back. In my opinion if they did not ask if they should leave or not, don't say it. Most of us on here are not looking for someone to tell us to leave who we are with. We are looking for kind words, helpful advice to handle it and be able to move forward. This whole leave his sorry ass mentality is nuts and has people taking steps backwards.
In late October, I posted that DH have given SD20 her Christmas present early. Very early. She received $100 in gift certificates, along with $80 for a prescription that we paid for her. She was supposed to pay it back. Since she never did, I had considered that the remainder of her Christmas loot. However, I (personally) would feel like a heel if she received nothing at Christmastime. We bought her a very nice bracelet, one that I myself would love to have. This goes against my previous blog stating that 'she's done for Christmas'. But I had to do SOMETHING.
