Ok DH taking BM to court for CS modification because his company had a company wide 15% pay cut and of course she would not agree to it without spending thousands on attorneys. Anyway I can not stand his attorney. After 20 unanswered emails about the SK's that DH sent to BM, we decided it might be a good idea for me to communicate so there is more proof that she is not communicating about the children. Also DH had a screw up with his expense check and emailed BM to wait 3 days before cashing the CS payment and of course she didn't, she cashed it and went right to her attorney.

Marriage Course

was great last night. All about Parents & In-laws and how to deal with issues around them in a marriage. Was very interesting. FH's parents are deceased and I only have my mother who lives 700km's away from us and we have little contact unless we go visit for Christmas etc, so FH won't have in-law problems as such. I moved away from Ex & my close family 3 years ago to start a new life with FH for just that reason...no interference from family (you don't know my family!) It works better that way.

Hello Everyone!!
My name is Kevin The Man (named by godson and it stuck ) and I would like to first say that this is an awesome site and I have gained A LOT of insight as to my own behavior and that of my SO with the very valuable comments from very wise blogging people. The abbreviations take a bit to get used to though (meh).

Stupid BM comment from another website...

"I don't know how much more I can take of this- you are supposed to marry one person and spend the rest of your life with them just like the Bible says. God doesn't agree with divorce because it is bad and hurtfull all around- it is for our own good. I am ready to crack. I hate reading about bonus families , it is making me sick. Everytime I hear a woman say that she has a stepchild all I can think of is that she is the one who took a husband over just like a woman did to mine...."

That is THE most idiotic paragraph I have read this week... Hell, make that THIS MONTH...

DH told BM to take her kid..... Now what?

My SD has been telling lies for a long time. Super lies about everyone all the time. About me about her parents about her stepdad, anybody she has ever meet. She has been being violent to my children and telling them horrible things. She was also telling my kids horrible things like someone was going to come and kill them. When we asked her why she does these things. She replied my mom tells me to!!!!!!!

The BM has many many many problems. She puts on her great mother facade to the world. But has done wicked things to her own kid.

BM taking DH to court...

BM and i received a call this monday that we are going to court tuesday morning... WOW we did not expect that at all. DH was able to have attorney reschedule the court date for Monday. DH had a meeting with our attorney regarding the court date and what it was regarding.

1.BM is taking DH to court because she is upset about the dates that we have chosen for the summer visitation. Because we have chosen the dates to be consecutive and not broken up into two week periods like she wants.

2.BM is also wanting to go to court for more child support.

Well, well, well...let the games begin!

So after our fight Saturday night, I guess my husband really got to thinking about things. He thought about the pants SD8 wore from BM's (with the HUGE hole in the crotch). He thought about SD8 not doing her homework at BM's. Then Monday, he has an email from BM: Once again, not making any sense & threatening him with an ultimatum. Now, keep in mind that BM has already stated several times that she will not agree to meeting halfway for dropping off/picking up SD8. This is the **ONE** request my husband had & she flat out refused.

fh told bm to keep ss for the night...

there has been so much going on, and last night i finally told fh that i dont know if i can handle all the baggage. i cant read the future but i do know i have been able to weather through so far, and am still in love with him and want to marry him, but i know that i can not honestly say that forever i will be able to deal with ss, bm, and mil because i fear things will get worse.

We both agreed that if things were different we would hold off on the wedding, however, it has ALL been paid for already.
