Need Ideas On How To Handle Severely PAS'ed 19yo SD-What Do We Do?

musical1's picture

My SD was PAS'ed to the maximum by her biofather for years getting really bad at age 17. SD was promised EVERYTHING by her mostly absent biofather for 4 years including having her rowdy girlfriend come down and live with them, to BMW convertible sports car, laptop computer, live in "country club" home in sunny FL, free access to alchohol, no rules, basically everything he could think of that was expensive, etc.

Hi! I found this site awhile ago, and decided to start blogging/posting. I need a place to vent and get things out. I have tried other SM boards, but my situation with my eldest SD is really out of hand, and most just don't know what to say. Heck, I don't know what to say. Sometimes, I just need to get it out!

ARGGG, I’m mad at my husband at the moment.

ARGGG, I’m mad at my husband at the moment.

He hasn’t seen SD since July, he has seen SS once in August (his course wouldn’t allow it, he was way too busy I get that part).

So he has to work awayall weekend. Great not a big deal, I have tons of shit to do. So his brilliant plan? Have me drive the kids to where he is working for the weekend, so we can sit in his apartment while he works…..

Things I hate about being a step-mom (also venting, lol)

You know what? I adore the idea of being able to say what I hate. I love even more that a wiser woman on here decided to start that thread. I am SO jeakous that I didn't think of it. LOL. But I will, to keep from being trashed by some...list what I love first:

What I love:

1. NOTHING.

That's right, y'all. I said it. Woohoo look at the evil bitch who hates the entire situation. I hope I can become a diversion to the others in the original post. Wink

Anyone else feel like their pet is their kid?

So, FH and skids have 2 dogs and they've basically become my babies since I've come into the picture... My oldest pup is 9 and blew out her ACL about a week ago. FH didnt think anything of it until I slept with the dog the night afterward and wouldn't leave her side. He actually came home from work early to take the dog to the vet with me because I can't lift her in the truck and she couldn't jump in by herself. Anyways we were told that it's going to come down to surgery although the vet gave us anti-inflamitory and pain meds to see if she would just heal on her own.

I am bad...but look @ this paper my SD wrote for school.

Keep in mind: 1) my latest post about 6 flags 2)I want to edit the hell out of the following paper....but I cannot. Why? Hey, it's her assignment, and she refuses to accept help because she knows better than ANYONE how to write. ????

(BTW SD16--ALMOST 17--is a Junior in HS. And yes we've sent her to school and we've helped her here at home and we've sent her to SYLVAN for $45 an hour and she has $100,000 in the bank for college and her dad and I are college educated AND I KNOW THIS IS A RUN-ON BUT I ADORE IRONY SO I COULDN'T HELP IT)

OK. I have talked very nasty about my bm. all things that I feel. Well. I learned a lot more this week about what really went on in that house. I am not happy. Someone should not take a divorce out on children. YOu should not tell storys like Your dad is going to take you to court and ask who you want to live with? who do you want to live with? That my friends is wrong of her. My daughter felt presure adn said oh yeah mom I would come live with you.

My journey with BM (long)

Sia's picture

My journey with BM started back in 1997. When I first met my DH, he was divorced and semi-raising 2 girls. I really admired this about him, and found it an endearing quality. It really is what attracted me to him in the 1st place. In dating him, I would enquire about the BM…you know how it is, you’re curious. He would always tell me stories of how evil she was, etc. I just assumed that he was a bitter ex-husband seeing as how she left him for an affair. Being a product of a bitter divorce, and subsequent SM myself, I was determined to make it work with BM.
