BM just called DH asking for our address
SS hasn't been in daycare consistently for over 2 years
He is very delayed in his speech
DH said- "I know you are not trying to send him to school this year" "he's not ready" [He will be 5 in August]
She informed DH that she's not sending him to school, but to daycare and they have a speech therapist and an IEP program-
I have never heard of this program being offered in a daycare, has anyone else?
Well, finally convinced DH not give the puppy back to SD19 and he is now off to a real good home, thank god. SD19 does not know yet but will soon.
In the interest of full disclosure, a little context:
Both my FH and I left unhappy relationships to be together. We started an affair on the 1st of the month and had separated with our spouses by the 15th of the same month.
There is a lot of back-story, but I needed to provide that context in order to get your honest opinions.
The Situation:
My SD(s2b6) is graduating SK. She loves me and has adjusted very well to the new situation.
The wonderful BM in our lives has been behind on her support payments since 9/2007. She is in arrearages for several thousand dollars and is currently having her wages garnished.
I need advice from anyone since I haven't been down this road before.
FH divorced the evil bitchmonster and in the divorce decree she got one house, he got another but they are both on the mortgage for both houses (I think--I know for sure she's on our mortgage, because she works for a bank and we get a lower rate).
There was some sort of home equity loan as they were divorcing--they both took it out but she used it...whatever that means. So she owes $10,000 still on it.
Yesterday I posted about BM wanting DH to give up his weekend for his daughter to attend a birthday party. Since we live out of state and drive 4 1/2 hours on the regular and because she filed false affidavits/custody papers/counseling intake forms etc... my husband does not want to miss another weekend with his daughter.
(Please look back at my blog and you will see all the issues we deal with...)
This holiday weekend we had SD4 and as always it was awful and gut wrenching. I try to get it together but for the life of me, it seems that I just get worse, she gets worse and DH gets worse! I can't stand the 4 year old things, I can't stand the noise of constant cartoons and movies, her talking to herself and dolls ALL DAY LONG! (I'm not exaggerating). I can't stand that DH is such a softy and EVERYTHING he does with her is a negotiation and has to be explained to a T before it happens.
OK, I am really doing well at disengaging this time. SWEAR! However, I just need to vent. Thanks for letting me vent to you all because I'm trying to act cool with DH. You know...fake it 'til you make it kind of a thing. I'm trying not to complain about the little things, but when you are this far gone everything about SK's can drive you up a wall. Especially that gawd awful breathing air thing they do. OYE!
Here's my irritation for the moment. DH is out and a SK just called. Thank God for caller ID, right? I just listened to the message and this is what they said.
hi all!! i know ive been absent lately and thank u to everyone who pms me or catches up w me on FB. i have been popping in and reading ur blogs from time to time but havent really had a chance to sit down and let u know how ive been doing. so here goes. i see that theres been some drama here lately, and that makes me sad. i dont know what has all transpired but i wanted to say that we all NEED each other, thats what this site is for--its different things to everyone but bottom line, we all come to this sacred place bc we NEED to. so keep that in mind.
more proud of him.
Recap: Skid is a well behaved, sensitive, introvert who historically under-performs significantly against his capabilities.
In his 15+yr Blended Family career he has learned to be a pleaser and a blender. The problem is that this drives the Rags 1/3 of his family nuts including his Mom and I. We want him to experience his full potential and his life to the fullest.
