so last night was our 1st counseling appointment & I'm not sure I'm happy w/the way things went. we weren't really aloud to express how we feel. although my DH was able to monopolize the conversation as always, leaving me to stew in my own feelings, as usual, holding my tounge as usualy, saving it for my personal counseling appt., as usuall. The did mention to him that he's been "guilt" parenting all this time. they confronted him about allowing SD to engage in a sexual relationship w/her BF & how as "christians" we aren't supposed to do that.
I am pregnant and when you talk to people about pregnancy you hear about morning sickness, back pain etc but I have never heard anybody talk about emotions to the extent mine are. They are like a roller coaster.
I go on FH's facebook this morning to find a message a woman left on his wall that says, "Sorry, my battery died when we were talking." Then she tells him what city she lives in. I'm not a jealous type of person, but why is my FH talking to someone on the phone who he obviously doesn't know well enough to know where she lives?
At this very moment, I am just utterly amazed...
BM is moving... OUT OF STATE!!!! WOW. We found out last night, and she's leaving SS behind with us- just like that. She told DH that they were leaving this SATURDAY!!! :shocked: - Talk about short notice...
but wait... it gets better...
So, we agree to have SS go over and spend the week with her and his siblings before they leave. Apparently, though, today, plans changed- (not surprised, really) and now they are leaving WEDNESDAY!!!!! :jawdrop: :shocked: :puzzled:
He is such a pain the the FU***** Ass. Almost 18 years old and just totally pathetic. I married a man whose first wife had died when SS was 13. My H and I are constantly fighting about him. It is tearing our marriage apart. My H wants him to finish high school which is normally a good thing, but this kid is almost 18 and still taking mostly 9th grade classes. WHAT THE HELL??? By H keeps thinking he's "going to turn things around." This kid is such a manipulative, lying, conniving little creep. I can barely stand to be in the same room with him.
Something we've never done before. We sat Dudebug down and told him that he's old enough to have a big boy discussion. We talked about how his mom has been mad at us this past week. We don't know what she has said to him...and we don't want to know, we will never question him about his mother...but we want him to remember that he should trust his own judgment about people. Just because his mom says bad things about someone doesn't mean its always true. We used an example among his friends. We even addressed how his mom claims that I mistreat him. Reminded him how he disagreed with that.
Every Sunday my family gets together and we have dinner and play games. This weekend was my turn so we cooked out and the kids played soccer and horse shoes. Out of the blue my fiance's daughter announced she hates my dog. He's a 4 year old black chow and loves kids. When I brought him home as a puppy my niece took one look at him and said he looks like a teddy bear. So the name stuck and he has been my teddy bear. It really hurt when she said she hates my Bear. That was all she said the whole day.
FH and I, (FH more than me) decided on trying out a "family" dinner with the BM once every couple of months. This is to show the kids that we all get along, and that they can't pit one parent against the other. FH and I agreed to try it once, and if I have any misgivings, we won't pursue them anymore. BM was agreeable, but at that point, she would have agreed to anything we said. (Ladies: Keeping records are extremely helpful, especially when you can circumvent court by showing BM all the proof you have of what a shitty parent she is). I'm pretty iffy on that.
Hi,
First a summary: Married for 17 years, SD is 27. We were close initally but after years of indulgent guilt driven parenting by my DH and a great job of parental alienation by BM, SD is your typical toxic, narcisstic, manipulative drama queen that we all know or know of. She and I tolerate each other at family gatherings but barely speak. I have included her at get togethers at our home for DH's sake: holiday dinners, etc. Again, she barely speaks to me and forget about thanking me for hosting the get together.
Hebrews 12
God Disciplines His Sons
1Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us. 2Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. 3Consider him who endured such opposition from sinful men, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart.
