I'm in tears after talking to my mom today. My entire family (Mom/dad/grandparents etc) all have more than a few issues they dislike about DH. They believe he is controlling, self centered, and has alienated me from those I have previously been close too. To some extent they do have valid points. DH can be extremely pushy when it comes to getting his own way, and likes to argue/banter to prove his point.They feel that his number one priority has been and will continue to be the skids and his family.
Thanks for all your helpful comments. The In-law thing eventually worked out after I absolutely went off of them. After we had been married for oh about 6 or 7 years, and they were putting my bk off just so that the little bit of time that the sk were around they wouldnt feel bad, I had had enough. The breaking point was when they were having a spend the night party with "all the grandkids" and did not invite my kids. Well this did not set well with me. Because regardless of the situation, my kids couldnt help the situation anymore than the sk could.
I am a mom to two girls. Beautiful girls that amaze me. But I still daydream about walking out the door and never looking back, and honestly I want to take them with me. I'm so tired of being a step mom. I know I'm the adult, and I am being "over sensitive" and according to my husband I take everything "the wrong way." The 6 y/o is clothes-obsessed, and she is so used to getting her way about clothes that she throws a fit every single time she doesn't get to wear exactly what she wants to wear. She also has problems listening, and a HUGE lying problem. At 6.
So my SD, 6...was getting ready for school this morning and just about to head out the door with her hair looking frightful when I called her into the bathroom and told her that we needed to pull her hair back. She looked at me and said, "My mom doesnt like it when you put my hair up." Seriously??? I cant decide whether I am being over sensitive or not but where do these kids get their nerve???
So the meal out with SS10 for his birthday went pretty well yesterday, once we'd actually picked him up... My OH was stuck in bad traffic getting home from work, and as he is one the slightly later shift this week he'd already said to SS that it wouldn't be before 7 that we picked him up. So, he gets home about 5 to 7, grabs the presents, card etc & as I'm driving he tries to call SS to tell him we're on our way, but phone is engaged.
My SD's mom will often ask "me" to keep the kids when they are sick or want me to take them to the Dr (while she went shopping) I wouldn't mind if she had to work or something important came up and she "had no other choice" Here lately she refuses to take her own daughter to her softball games and told me that my husband and I need to make arrangements to get her to and from. She's not at work during games, she's off and at home. My SD's game is ONCE A WEEK!
Well, I haven't been able to be on for a while because so much has happened in the 2 weeks. First thing to happen was SD15's stepfather was arrested and charged with a total of 140 counts of various things because of molesting SD15 for several years. Second they notified us of when the preliminary hearing will be. So DH, myself, and SD15's therapist has been working with SD15 to get her ready to testify.
Hey everybody!!!This is my first time on this website, and I stumbled across it tonight looking for something to go to when I needed to vent. A little back ground... I got married almost 17 years ago, I was very very young. When my husband and I met, he had 2 kids from a previous marriage. Things were rocky from the start with us. My MIL and FIL did not approve of our marriage or me.Looking back now, maybe it was age.Never the less, they did not change for sometime. When ever the 2 kids were around I could never do anything right and was ALWAYS under a telescope.
yesterday the boys had a doctors appiontment for their meds, i choose not to go this time. i always feel like we are being judged or defending our selves, expecially me. because i wont kiss adem's 8 butt. they tell me how i should be tolerant and sweet to this boy because he has issues with women because of his psyco mother, and he has difficulty showing love. i am never mean to him, but i cant bring my self to accepting that the boy cant be nice or even not mean will do!! i can see that he is not ready to be all lovey dovey with me, because his mom hurt him so bad.
Well...been gone for awhile.
Job keeps me busy...lots of developments since the last time I was on here.
Most recent...got a call from one of the 12 yo SS's tonight...with BM in the background...she told him to call...
Anyway, he and his twin brother want to move in with us!!! so they are coming for an extra weekend so we can all discuss it.
At the end of the phone call, BM told H that if the boys move in with us she will not be taking them for visitation...that she will be through with them.
How evil is that??!!!
