The majority of my upbringing fell to my stepfather. My mom was dealing with her own issues during my childhood, and wasn't around as much as she probably should have been. I hesitate to say anything negative about her; she's made up for lost time and is my closest confidant now. But it is what it is, and the fact remains that I was raised by my step-dad. Even after he and my mother divorced, my step-dad retained custody of myself and my two younger half-brothers.
Hi everyone this is my post forum post and I'm very excited to get into this community for support and to learn from others that have been there before. I am in a loving and committed relationship to my BF. We just moved in together and are excited to spend the rest of our lives together. My BF has a son (5 years old) from a previous relationship. My SS is an adorable kid and we get along pretty well. Although there are times when I get stressed, overwhelmed and frustrated by things concerning his behaviour.
SD: Hey SM, did you see the new apartments being built down the road?
Me: Yes, I'm sure the people that live in the neihborhood right behind them arent too happy about it.
SD: Several of my friends are moving in there
Me: Like who
SD: Suzy who lives one street behind us
Me: Why would Suzy's parents move out of their house into an apartment?
SD: No, not her parents, just her.
Me: She's 16
SD: So, it's not like she's really moving out, she's just going to be in an apartment about a mile away.
The guy that lives accross the street from me is a registered sex offender. I thought I had moved out to the burbs and was willing to deal with the country folk (I live in a small town just outside of Houston). He moved in about 5 months after us.
I saw the sale price on that house and have NO IDEA how this man affords that house. Not saying that I live in lap of luxury by any means, but he is an ex-con that lays tile floors and not sure what the mom does besides getting child support. Their household consists of:
I ask this because my business has been really slow and there is no apparent reason for it. The news is the same and unemployment seems to have leveled off but I have noticed alot of people on here have been very tight on money lately. I wanted to see what the general consensus (sp?) was. Do you see any improvement in the economy, think it's the same as six months ago, think it's worse?
Hi, I came across this site and am sometimes in need of a place to vent. My situation is unique. I am SM to two children. SD7 is the product of a long term relationship DBF had with college sweetheart. Their relationship fell apart when SD was 4. SS1 is to some chick he was banging, got drunk and thought that he put a rubber on and hence, SS1.
So... Neither one of my SD's have lifted a hand in my house in MONTHS! We are extremely tight on money right now as well. DH comes home the other night from picking up SD16 at BM's. SD14 was picked up early because BM and SD16 were once again bullying her because she doesn't want to live there. SD16 shoved her up against some cabinets and SD14 yelled "Don't touch me" SD16 replied with "I can touch you if I want to". Which is true, because BM allows it. SD16 is always beating up on SD14 at BM's house. It is a NON issue at ours, because it isn't allowed. Anyway...
Reading the post about ivillage and someone said something about being crayon friend and then sending all of her posts to her BF. I wonder is one of those ivillage people did that to jojo. If so that is so totally f9348 up that I don't even know what to say except KARMA
So yesterday SD17 tells DH that she is moving in with grandma when she graduates from high school in June becasue she can't handle our rules, we are horrible etc. DH and I already agreed that SD17 would move out when she turned 18 in December, so I was confused. Now he is pretending we never had that conversation, even though we had it MANY times. I just want my house back, our lives back etc. I am so sick of putting up with SD17's bs and her influencing the younger ones. I even asked DH if that meant we were just supposed to put up with the disrespect, lying etc...
For many of my friends on here, I've become the lost in space Bewitched. But I'm still around, just have my hands full currently.
I think the last time I posted, I had filed for divorce. That is now on hold. Due mostly to financial need, I agreed to counseling with H. And I will admit things have improved dramatically. H has been coming home and working really hard on the place with me here, and the demeaning phone calls have stopped.
