Move in or stay in my own place?

msheretostay09's picture

My BF and I have been discussing moving in with each other by next summer (before my son enter HS) So I'd be moving in with him. He has joint custody of his boys with his BM. We live an hour away from each other. He lives closer to his children (about 20 minutes). My son is in the 8th grade, his oldest son is in 7th his youngest in 1st. Now, if I move with him, I'll have to uproot my son to move in with him. I suggested that he could move to MY area which is about 40 minutes away from his boys and then my son wouldn't have to leave his school system, his friends, his way of things.

Ok - this is the last pick up before the court case......

DH is leaving today around 330p to go and pick up his daughter for this weekend/holiday visit...!

I am not able to travel with him this time as i am at work this time since i rotated and let the other folks in the office be off for the long weekend.

ANYWAYS.... We will see how this pick up goes. DH has taken the camcorder with him that he will have on from the time he pulls up to when he leaves.

How to deal with the BM

I am new to this but thought I could vent with people who understand what I am going through. I have been married for almost 3 years. My husband and I just got custody of my 2 stepkids. The BM will not leave us alone now. What lead up to the custody battle was when BM dropped off 16 yr old to a mental institution for a week then the day after he gets out she tells him to get out of her house or she is taking him back! He, of course, came to live with me and his dad. He is a good kid but has been neglected in the past and has been able to run wild at the BM house.

The cycle...

Sometimes I feel like the ugly circle will never end. This is how my circle rolls.

SD16 (normally, but also SD14 at times) does something or asks to do something, and DH either nothing, or allows it.

I get mad.

I don't talk to him for a day or two.

We argue for two days, because I am "wrong" and the way he handled it was "right".

I don't talk to him for a day or two.

We talk.

He says he sees my side, and we agree on what is allowed, what isn't allowed, and how it will be handled next time.

It's our anniversary, FH doesn't remember and SD comes tonight.

Arghhhh. I know I am going to sound selfish and like a bitch but I don't even care anymore. I already know that FH forgot our anniversary, he would have mentioned it this morning before work if he remembered. Plus, as soon as he gets off work he has to pick up SD8 for the weekend. Yay. (can't you feel the sarcasm???) That means we get her again in 2 weeks, which is my birthday. I know BM switches the weekends around on purpose to spoil any chance for me to have a good time. In our 3 years together we have had SD8 for everyone of my birthdays and our anniversary.

Below you will find a previous post about a paper that SD16 (almost 17) wrote for class. She is a junior. Please keep that in mind.

But this post is about her grade for the paper....SHE GOT AN A. Plz, kill me now. Just GIVE UP on public school. That is all.
