So the GAL's asst. calls DH again yesterday about this so called "settlement conference" because DH wanted clarity on who exactly is the chair at this meeting, he told the asst. if it's BM- He will not be attending because she's known for her flip-floppy antics and psychotic manipulative games among other things..

DH and SS move 1800 miles away...without me or BS

My DH and SS moved from PA to Montana 'cuz DH got great job in mining industry. Took SS (age 22) because he's a coalminer, too, but doesn't have a valid license due to varied abuses of driving privileges (DUI's, driving w/suspended license....). DH felt guilty leaving SS behind because he wouldn't have any way to get to work :sick:

Stupid BM, Stupid Ex-H, Damn Stupid Cat!!!

My foul mood may be due to lack of sleep because our freakin' cat loves to get up on high places and then dive right into the middle of the bed, usually up near my head, pulling my hair. If we shoo him out and close the door, he will just sit there digging at the door until we let him back in. He can't stand a closed door. Spoiled rotten entitled POS!

I LOVE MY SKIDS...

Oh....I LOVE my skids even though they are manipulative and lazy! Does ANYONE ever say that!?!? SD is sneaky and manipulative and DH doesn't think she's had sex but I've read her diary and she HAS! She will be 13 next weekend but he seems too oblivious to the fact that his daughter can do any wrong!! I'm sorry but I don't think that a 12 year old should be having sex! He IS the father and says he'd know if she was but he is obilvious about what goes on online...I'm going downstairs right now to buy the spyware to see everything she's typing online....anyone object?

does it ever get easy

I struggle all the time with stepparenting. I have one 14 y/o stepdaughter who I got when I married 4 years ago. I love my husband very much but this is a huge challenge. I came to him with no baggage, moved, gave up family, friends, a 27 year successful career, converted to his religion, changed banks...changed everything and he had to do NOTHING. Now I have his daughter to deal with - as far as kids go she is aces - straight A student, charming, witty, nice, kind, really the model child.

Custody Stepmom

How is it my husband got custody of his two boys through child protective services. And then less than a year his ex goes and files for full custody at a different court and we have been fighting her now for almost 3 years. She doesnt work (RIGHT) but can afford to get tatoo's and hire an attorney. She has nothing to do with her own family, mother, grandparents, siblings. They all support us having the two boys. Why do we have to feel like we are defending ourselves? The younger feels really close to me closer than with his mother. I have had him in my live since he was 18 mo.

Ok ladies...what would you do ir have you doine in this situation?

So SD3 might be coming to live with me and FH full time while BM "gets her act together" ( which most likey means lives it up and parties while we raise her child for her) Anyway, I truly feel that our place is a much better place to raqise a child, it is stable, we both have steady and good jobs and it is structured , well I am at least. Here is where the problem comes in, FH works late and since I work too we will need to put SD in day care.

After a deep breath and a step back

I think I have figured out why Severus pushes my buttons. It stems from worry about the future. I worry that he will be labeled as disabled and that he will live with BM forever (meaning DH will have to pay to support him forever). I worry that he will become a drain on society. I worry he will become an embarrassment to the family. I worry he will always use excuses as to why he doesn't succeed in life. I worry that as an adult people will look at him and think "What a loser!" I worry that he will do something really stupid and either hurt himself or someone else.

Sad.....

I truly enjoy coming to this site, although I don't post alot. I come almost everyday and read, and just by reading what others go thru and how they deal with it,I get some good insight into ways of dealing with my personal situation. But I must say I am very discouraged to see the way people are becoming afraid to post and how people are lashing out at each other, we are all here for pretty much the same reasons.
