This is the last straw for me. I'm done...this time for good.

FH(now downgraded to bf) didn't bother to tell me about the skids having tutoring this morning. I was really sick last night and went to bed at 8pm. I got up at 6:50 this morning, which is pretty late for me so I was running behind. Bf comes home and wakes up the skids so they can get ready for something. I have to hurry in the bathroom and get out. I tell bf that he should have told me they had to be somewhere (tutoring as it turns out). Bf tells me I'm supposed to 'just know' since it is Tuesday. (He's never explained how it works).

Mediation

StepG's picture

We had our mediation yesterday and I just have one thing to say....What a JOKE!!!

obviously it did not go well. We wanted 50/50 time BM only willing to let stay over on Sunday night on our weekends and wanted child care credit on child support worksheet and she is not even working and has no child care plus we pay her attorney! So it is to court for us....the gloves are off my H is now Rocky Balboa and the BM is Ivan Drago (the Russian boxer in Rocky IV)...big mean and scary!

PAS and the adult child

OMG!

SS came back to town yesterday on college break. I suggested that he have breakfast with his Dad. They thought it was a great idea and they would talk today about the time. He called tonight and said that he can't make it for breakfast as they had planned because his mommy made an appointment for him to get his haircut at the same time!

#1) Why is BM still making appointments for him?

#2) Everyone knows that one of the tactics of an alienating parent is to schedule things for the children of the other parents time. This "kid" is 19! Come on!

I think DH is seeing the light

In previous blog I mentioned that we had received a recommendation from the GAL that had a placement schedule (50/50) that bounced the skids back and forth between houses literally every other day and totally at random (this is due to the ever important work schedule of BM who can't possible take care of the skids on the day she works. Well come to find out that when skids met with GAL they essentially threw DH under the bus. Suddenly instead of wanting a week to week schedule like they had previously told us, they decided that this ridiculous schedule would be great.

H-building dreams on lies

I'm trying to finish my Anatomy & Physiology course. Nearly done, with a 99% grade. But everytime I sit down to study, I get tears. Everytime. Because I had a dream. I had a plan. Or should I say H led me to believe I did. Now its shattered. With his enormous debt to IRS, all I can hope for is another divorce.

H had me spending hours and hours this summer looking for a beach home in Texas. A dream. A plan. I poured over repos, we took a trip to the coast, going here and there with realtors. All the while, he knew he had this IrS debt. I had no idea.

Should i feel bad?

BM the last year or so has been leaving SS13 in charge of SD10 and SS6 on their days off from school while she works, or when she goes out wine tasting. So about 2 weeks ago SS6 comes to me and tells me SS13 has been hitting him and picking on him when BM leaves them alone. SS6 is a liar... almost without control, like he really believes the lies. But i stuck behind him on it and told him he can call me anytime and gave him my cell #. Since then he has called almost every day and i have no problem with that except for feeling guilty that he calls me to talk but doesn't call BF.

Am I overreacting? What do you guys think?

BM seems to be over-stepping her boundaries lately as far as I'm concerned. For the last few weeks she has been REALLY friendly to FH. She used to be uber-bi@#h, now she's just sweet as pie. She used to give him a hard time about everything, only call/text him when she wanted something or to complain, and just hand off/pick up SD3 with little talk. NOW she never complains and is all buddy-buddy.
