Things are going good right now....... Praying nothing is up her sleeve!!!!!

Things are going wonderful right now. Every since the court case in September things have been great between DH and BM and the rest of the family.

Why could it have not been like this before court and having the judge threaten her with taking away SD if she continues her bullcrap. It was not necessary! I guess it was brought home more so cause she took us to court to try and take joint custody and visitation from DH and make me look like a child abuser.

always thinking about things!

tougher than I thought's picture

In my blended family marriage I have never felt comfortable with decisions I make. If I get onto the Skids about something I think is wrong it seems to cause problems with wife later on during arguments or she’ll say I treat my BS different of course I disagree. Like I said before my wife has never and does not communicate to me about issues or expectations. The only way I find out what she’s thinking is through arguments. She approaches everything like this i.e. I had the 2 skids 10 and 7 and our own son we had together 3 this pat Saturday.

What to do at Christmas?

Storm76's picture

Sorry, I know it's only October, but everyone seems to be planning in Christmas stuff at the moment, so OH & I thought we should get organised - but it's just causing a headache.

Last year OH went round to BMs on Christmas morning for a couple of hours, then on boxing day we went up to his parents for a few days. So far this year the plan is we're taking the week before Christmas off & popping up to OH's parents, we're supposed to have SS10 on Christmas day itself, then BM have him after that.

However, issues coming up already are:

New Name.

F = Future

So, I was on this website under a different name. I only blogged once but in my blog I changed sooo many things because I was so afraid of being discovered. But, I decided that it's too hard to pretend "not" to be myself. So...here's the story of my life right now...I have a question for the stepmoms (new and old to this) that maybe ya'll can help me with. First these are the people in my BF's and I's lives that make things difficult...

BM - she's a whole year older than I am (26) but she may actually be 15 mentally...

NEED HELP

I am the stepmom of an 18-yr-old senior girl, as well as mom of two girls (college soph. & h.s. jr.). The stepdaughter ran away 2 weeks ago after we grounded her for a day for having her 20-yr-old boyfriend at her grandma's house. This rule was put into place following an incident when she was 16. Our rule was no dating for anyone until their jr. year, but her grandma was allowing a 19-yr-old to come pick her up for dates. Well, one night grandma wasn't home and things almost went too far.

This is Odd...

I just realized after reading someone's blog about how everyone seems to have a pyscho BM. Well in my case, the problem is my BF. I've met and talked with BM on several occasions. When she calls I pick up, not a problem at all there. She tells SS to listen to me, etc. All in all I think she and her husband are good people. The problem is my BF. I'm guessing he still has residual anger when dealing with BM and her husband.

Showdown

In one of my resent post I told you that SD19 has been driving her friends car without a license and me being torn about should I tell my Husband or not - well - today they whole story solved itself. SD drove up in friends car - saw me coming out the door and pushed the gas pedal through. I simply turned around and told my DH what he just missed. Now SD is sitting here and talking with DH. He confronted her and she doesn't even care. She bluntly told him she doesn't care if she puts him/us into legal trouble if she has an accident.

I'm desperate, scared & feel so alone- Disengaging the answer?

I've been searching for advice on the internet for hours. And while alot of my questions are still unanswered, one thing is clear-- I can't go on like this.

Some facts about my life:

I am 22 yrs old and currently in grad school.

My FH is 24 and while he has not officially proposed yet, we are planning on getting married.

SS is 6 yrs old. My FH had him when he was a junior in high school.

I feel like I'm slowly fading...

I feel so helpless...Its been about a week since I last posted. Where do I begin?

Last week was my SS14 birthday and it went well, considering I really didn't have to deal with him. My in-laws are great and I always have a good time with them. My SS14 looked absolutely miserable all night and said that it was the worst birthday ever. I really don't know why and I didn't ask...I didn't care nor did I want to know. It was probably something completely rediculous.
