well the skids just left sd-11 was clinging to me sobbing saying she didnt wanna go, i have never felt more helpless in my life theres absolutly nothing i could do about it i never thought i'd take this so hard.
So, I started my disengagement a few weeks ago. Hubby and I had a couple of big fights about skids behavior and I finally decided it was time to start the disengagement, so I did. I let go of any and all responsibility I had taken on since the girls moved in with us. I told them they were not to ask me anything about anything and that DH would be handling everything in regards to them. I told him I would no longer do their laundry, plan their birthday parties, schedule their doc appointments, enforce rules, hygiene, chores, behavior, etc. etc. etc.
Hi All,
As some of you may have figured out, visiting ST is not an every day occurence for me. Thus I have to "catch up" on all of the happenings. I have noticed, over the year or so I have been here, that there are days when everything seems to be in an uproar over something---crazy anon posters or whatever.
As seen on the bumper of a Toyota Prius on Sat 8/15/2009 during random Rags weekend wanderings (in my not so Eco-friendly vehicle).
This person is an enigma, wrapped in a riddle, cloaked in a conundrum. A conservative Tree Hugger (the Prius). One might think that this is an oxymoron. But, I liked the juxtaposition. Be Eco-conscious but keep the hell out of my pocket! Works for me.
At a stop light I pulled up next to the Prius, rolled down my window and asked where I could get the bumper sticker. We both laughed but the light changed before I could hear the answer.
No one wanted to answer this when I asked earlier.
I was looking at my planner today & for fun I looked back at the last 6 months. I realised there's been a serious change in visitation & that it's dropped off severely in these last few months. There are many factors for this, we moved & SKs don't have as much space here, I've been busy with work, DH & BM are having a legal battle over debts from their marriage & we've been pretty broke since DH's over time at work was cut. One huge factor, however, has been me.
The blogs that generate the most comments are the negative "bitchy" ones and the positive ones are largely ignored? I'm disappointed.
I'm proud of how far I've come, damnit!! LOL I just wanted to share something that would give others hope.
I need to know if I am being out of line... Here is my story. My step son lives with his mother. We have him often, he spent the court ordered month with us in July. The rest of the summer is supposed to be her responsibility. Well, there is no child care for the week before school where she had him. She knew this a month ago but waited until the last minute to tell us that she didn't have the money and needed us to have him. We have had this issue before. We said that my bio daughter could watch him but she needed to pay her.
court today was awful the judge let her move with the kids we have skids till 930 tonight then they leave for the other state we will not see them till christmas vacation. what we did get was this, we get 1 wk after school lets out they will come here bm will have a 2 wk vacation with the girls during our parenting time in the summer then skids will come back to our home until 7 days before school starts, she has to provide all transportation for everything which is nice but once again she gets her way she gets to move its what she wanted...
Let's respect each other, Okay? I may not agree with many negative posts or name calling but I have to admit that I've done my share here. I don't come here to be judged or to judge others. I browse through the posts here and may or may not agree with the writers' viewpoints but I do NOT criticize. I'm a sober alcoholic and here is what works in AA meetings - we don't cross talk. That means when someone opens up and shares we listen and we don't criticize or give advice. WE LISTEN. WE OFFER SUPPORT. We talk about a similar experience and how we survived it or learned from it.
