I feel like I really need to confront this woman, but I would like a little input before I try on what I may expect and what is the reaction any of you had when DH found out about a confrontation with BM!!??

Where do I begin...The ex knew me while they were still married. I didn't realize the error in my ways till it was too late. What's done and said cannot be undone. They were officially divorced last year in November after being separated for almost two years. She moved the kids three hours away from us (legally!) and we drove twelve hours every other weekend and sometimes every weekend (I think it's important to get one on one time with them since they seem to fight for attention when they're all together). Then their father and I relocated to the same city as the kids.

To SMJ... Isolated... and Others who may be in this spot...

My thoughts and prayers are with you.

SMJ - stay strong girl. I would be a puddle of goo on the hospital floor I think, if my husband were in the state yours is in. You are doing GREAT. You are keeping it together. You're almost there. He will and you will get through this. Keep your eye on the prize... Nookie when he heals.

STRESS!

WOW! The stress I am under is just about killing me. I have 3 step children and 2 daughters of my own. My oldest stepson and youngest stepson are FANTASTIC. The issue is my stepdaughter. She is 14. She is viscious. She lies. She makes up stories to get attention (positive or negative). She throws me under the bus anytime she gets the chance. Tells people I am mean to her. **sigh** The funny part to all of this is that I have done nothing but try to build this girl up. Included her in everything.

Nice

SD7 just walked in from playing at a friend's house and said she made presents. She came out to show me a picture she drew and it is addressed "To Mom and Dad". DH hasn't been with his ex since SD was 2. And DH thinks these days alone will help my relationship with SD. All that did was put another nail in the coffin.

I've been feeling so down about my life here lately. The other night my dad called and was trying to give me advice or help in any way possible and I almost didn't want to hear any of it. It's not good.

I have 3 sons (5,3,19months) and SD3 well my boys always want to play with SD dress up stuff and all the accessories but people always say NO b/c its girls stuff (I for one dont really care they are kids) So after Halloween i went to the stores and got costumes for like 85% off and bought a vintage wooden and metal trunk....so now i will have boy dress up and girl dress up in a really cool trunk.

A new catch-up. I have not fallen off the face of the earth!

It's been awhile since I've been online, and wanted to catch up with my friends, many of you who held my hand for so long.

In my last blog, I was working part-time and H and I were going to counseling.

It didn't work. H paid lip service to the counseling, but when it came down to nuts and bolts, that's all it was, was lip service.

Am I Normal!!??

vgill's picture

Is it normal to love your SS's but not want them to live with you!? I just think I need a break!! I have 4 other bio kids 2 boys and 2 girls and we have a full house, which is not a big deal but I just can't stand the chaos that these 2 boys bring with them, they are angry ,destructive,disrespectful,and very selfish, they are their mothers sons, and now I just want them to go live with her and let her deal with what she has created.I just want to scream with frustration.!!!

It's my fault, I wasn't honest

DH is at a training thing for work today, so as usual I'm left at home taking care of SD7. DH told me that after today they are all invited out for a free dinner at The Keg. He just called and said he will probably go and was I okay with that. Not really, but I felt bad so I said it was fine. It bugs me though that he leaves me alone all day with SD.
