I had to laugh because when BM got there to check in- she had to use the clerks phone to call "one of" her boyfriends to tell him how to get there- She still has "no phone" She saw me sitting there and probably felt she needed "someone" to be there too..
She is using the same pro-bono attorney she used for her middle son's case-
I know I do not post blogs, and I only reply from time to time, however this has just been annoying the crap outta me latley.
The word sorry!!
I am a bit tired of hearing it. To me the word means absolutely nothing!! The person that says it is never sorry for what they did, they are only sorry that they got caught! Of course they will never admit that. It is still equally annoying though.
Let me start out by saying that I don't want this to come off as sounding like, I have a better answer or anything, I just would like everyone's thoughts on this...
I had life-threatening asthma ever since I was a child. I was diagnosed with another chronic, uncurable condition, when I was 17. I have lost and re-grown my hair at an early age. I have been on medication for as long as I can remember. I have been on life support. I still am on medication every day, and if I miss it for more than a few days, I start to get asthma attacks, which could be fatal.
I currently find myself in an unenviable position (if there is such a word). Being of a certain age, I should be looking at retirement options in the next 15 or so years. Not going to happen. As a single mom on a poverty income, there was nothing to set aside. Then when my youngest got older, I saved for retirement, only to have it lost in the stockmarket. Now comes my marriage, and subsequent divorce from the financail disaster of H.
MIL is here with Skids. Of course they are breaking almost every rule. I know, I know.... "while the cats away" I am just irritated. Going to the gym to work of some of this frustration. My house no longer belongs to me nor do my things that I ask not to be tampered with. I suppose I should just get used to it. DH owes me for the summer schedule! I have had them two weeks already. Got one week off. Now MIL is here. Next week DH is going in late so he can drop the kids at day camp (it doesn't open til 11:00). Guess who has to pick them up? Yours truly. BM can't get there in time.
I have been a step mom for over ten years, and the judge that did the custody battle for my husband was not in his right mind. He (mind you, over ten years ago) left both parents with joint custody with no desiginated primary. My SS spends one week with us and one week with his mother, rotating. His schooling was designated to remain in the elementary school he was attending and every subsequent school thereafter. The ex decided to relocate to another county three years ago, but we kept him in the court ordered school, now this past summer we moved out of county also.
My fiance (we are due to get married at the end of the month) is too nice to his ex-wife. He lets her control when the children come over. He agreed with whatever was in the divorce papers. She was suppose to get the house and the automobile with the smallest and shortest payoff. She didn't pay on the house or the car. The car was repoed and the house was about to go into foreclosure last year (she was over 4 months behind). We stepped in and have been trying to get the house caught up. He has not held her responsible for any of the back payment.
im curious how you would feel. fh says that im over reacting and i cant figure out how to put in to words that what he did needs to NEVER happen again
so last night fh and i have some beers with the neighbors and then i came home to do some stuff. FH comes home and proceeds to continue to drink. At 1230am he comes in to give ma a kiss (im still doing something--not asleep) and says that he has text stupid shit to tell her basically that..shes stupid.
BM called BF this morning and said, among other things, that we were putting our unborn baby in danger by flying. She tried to tell him that there would be problems with me flying while pregnant and it would harm our baby. She told him that our 9 month old would have problems flying. She told him that he didn't care about me or BM or his children, he just cared about his damn vacation and to hell with everyone else. She told him that she gave him permission to take SS to Florida, but she did NOT give him permission to fly him there.
what would you say (granted, in many cases this would be one of those letters that you write but don't send)?
We all have our own histories, and I thoroughly enjoy coming here to gain different perspectives on stepparenting. I know our situations vary. The people in these situations vary. Their (and our) behaviors and reactions to these situations vary.
I think that, every now and then, we should all come on here and write a letter directed at skids, DHs, FHs, BFs, and BMs in a way that's anonymous enough so nobody can figure out it's us.
