I'm sure my situation isn't unique, however, I still would appreciate any help or support anyone could provide. I could really use some advice. My fiance and I are getting married next year. He has two boys. The oldest is 20 and the youngest is 15. His ex wife is a real pill. She was verbally abusive throughout the marriage and on occasion, physically. I am stuck between a rock and a hard spot. Since before the divorce was over, she has been filling their heads with the craziest stuff. She has gone so far as to write horrible things to my fiance under their oldest son's email name.
FH and I went over to my brother's house tonight after we dropped SS9 off at football practice so FH could check out a hot tub my bro picked up. SD13 wasn't supposed to be home till 7:30 pm...although she got home early...about 6:30 and called me to tell me she was home...which is what we expect her to do if we aren't home and she gets home when nobody is there... Well while FH and I were at my bro's house his ex was constantly calling and asking where we were and whatnot.
My diva sd drives me and my kids nuts. This is an attractive young girl, she's 18 years old, tall, blonde and very pretty, but doesn't she know it. She's currently at college and works part time, sometimes doing promotional work. She needs her dads money for pretty much everything she does. She lives with her mum, supposedly most of the time, but seems to be spending more and more time at our place since the maintenance payments stopped on her 18th birthday.
I've been married for 4-years, however for 4-years I have not had a husband. Since the day we married, the tug-of-war started (to say the least). My husband's daughter hates my guts and this hate only surfaced on the day I married her dad. He allows her to disrespect me in many ways but sees no wrong in her actions. He's been trying to appeal to me for 4-years to let his daughter come visit with us (despite how badly she has behaved) and my response is always with rage; then, I remind him that she must apologize. . . no apology, no visit.
I am a step-mother to 3 children and have been married to my husband for less than a year. We have the children a little less than 50% of the time. I was previously married, but I do not have any bio-children of my own and I do not believe that I will. I did date my husband several years before we got married and I knew that this life would be very challenging, but some days it can be almost unbearable and not because of the children, mostly it is because of the children's BM. Trying to work with her is sometimes almost close to impossible.
The court case is finally happening tomorrow...... 9 Sept at 9am in North Carolina. So, my DH, myself, my mother-in-law, sister-in-law, and father-in-law are heading to NC at 4 am to go and face these allegations (false, of course)after BM started this entire process of filing affidavits and motions against us in November 2008. It seems like this has taken forever. The abuse allegations started in Jan and has been continued 3 times before.
Well, I am a BM of a 12 year old son and a SM to a 14 yr old SD and a 4 yr old SD. The SD's have different BM's. Now here is my dilemma... 4 yr old SD asked me about 9 months ago if she could call me mom. Blew me away but of course I told her yes. I told her that her BM is momma or mommy but that I could be just plain ole mom. BM was fine with it, AT FIRST.
I commented on somebody else's post, and I go to thinking...Are any of these rules (see below) insane and downright cruel? Because according to SS9 they are, and apparently his BM and NANNA!(BMs mom [DH parents are deceased]) agree b/c they do anything they can to keep precious baby SS9 away from evil DH and myself.
My SDs are 8 and 9 years old. Very adorable and very sweet most of the time. They genuinely like me very much and on occasion at bedtime they tell me they love me. I knew I loved them several months ago, but waited until they could say it to me so as not to make them feel "forced" into saying it.
Hi.. I am a 'soon to be sm' trying to find a place to get some advice from people in the same situation. Things have been getting pretty bad lately between my fiance and his ex. (sorry if i dont have all the abreviations right yet..) Anyway, they have legal joint custody and they are just beginning the cs stage. I get along very well with my soon to be sd..
