SD finally had a counseling appointment alone today. She asked the counselor her questions and not surprisingly, the counselor was upset and disturbed. She wanted to know where SD got the idea to question if she was emotionally abused.
Counselor basically told SD that, in her opinion, SD was not emotionally abused because her mom never meant to hurt her!! Sita - just like you said emotional abuse requires some form of "intent to hurt"... Counselor pretty much had said that, and thank you - I was able to reconfirm that in the car using your words!! Thank you!!
I have a sister who is married to at guy that is a great father, takes very good care of his kids (they have one together and he has 2 from a previous relationship), spends every weekend with his kids that he has by another woman....here's the issue, he had a drug problem for the last couple of years and it on various occassions has caused him to do things that i belive he wouldnt normally do.....i was the one that told my sister to leave and dont look back and of course she didnt and to be honest to my surprise her DH has enrolled in rehab and has been clean now for 6 months and he has rea
My sd and ss think its ok to come to my husband and my house and not follow the rules. When I get on to them for something I get the word no, and that they don't have to listen to me. Of course dear old dad just sits there and does nothing. He then wonders why Iam so ill when the kids come up to the house. He wants the kids to come to the house, but then he does nothing but sit on his a** and does nothing to help me out. He thinks Iam suppose to entertaing and diciplen the sk's. But when I do have to do the deciplen he gets angry and says Im to ill when the kids come up.
Yall have informed me it was Dawn and her husband. I stand corrected. I am not a spammer.
DH feels that we need to attend ALL of the skids activities (even when they are with BM and it conflicts with other family plans). From his perspective the skids need either him or I or both there at every activity so that they have a parent there to support them. I, on the other hand, think that the skids DO have a parent there to support them (BM and stepdad) while they are with BM for placement.
After reading a post today - claiming just about all (except for two) SM's come here only to bash BM's... I just had to leave a comment. What happens when the roles are reversed? What happens when the SM is the one who tried to reach out and was met with terrible opposition? Why is the SM to be chastised when she finds a website to be able to share those things that anger her in a situation where she has no control?
I have no idea how this happened but we had SD13 and SS10 this weekend and there were Please and Thank You's flying out of their mouths left and right. They picked up after themselves, asked if they could help in the kitchen, and only had to be told once to do/not do things. I think my DH picked up the wrong kids.
I have mostly disengaged, didn't attend sporting events, don't respond to text messages (I let DH do it) and let DH do all the arranging of schedules, cooking, cleaning and discipline when they are here. Even DH didn't lose his temper and both skids gave me hugs.
Well, after the week I've had...I'm hoping that tonight will be a bonding night for the three of us.
This is my first blog, let me give you a window into my life...
My fiance and I have been together for 3.5 years and since then we moved in together about 2 years ago, we were engaged last February, and we bought a house in April. I'm a full-time student finishing up my BS in Elementary Education. I will be graduating in May.
So, I left the office early today. Not really feeling well and have a super duper headache today.
So, I call FH to tell him I'm going home and he says "well, I'll come home too, and I want you to be naked when I get there."
What?! Did you not hear what I said?
No, all he heard was : Fifth - home - alone - no kids - LET'S GET NAKED!!!!!!!!!!!
He owns his own business, so he can come home whenever he wants to.
YIPPEE!!!!!
I don't feel well and he's horny.
Go figure?!
Well only one major skirmish with SD this weekend. She got mouthy to her dad and got sent to her room. She yelled at me on the way out. So I went into her room before I left for the morning and basically went off on her. Long conversation about respect and how she treats me and her Dad. I gave advice that she needed. "Walk away when we frustrate you, because if you continue to stand there and argue, that is when you get in trouble." I told her she could think whatever she wants about my rules, just leave the thoughts in your head. Don't verbalize them.
