WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME?? ANY OF YOU FEEL THIS WAY???

Rosedeer1's picture

So if you know me you know I am crazy and I have let BM runin my life for the past 3 years. I love my DH so much and I love my SS, eventhough I wish I met my DH before any kids. We went to a school event and of course she was there and my SS has surgery tomorrow and I am going and she is pissed. But I saw her tonight and I actually think she is kind of pretty and not as fat as she used to be, I wish she was fat and ugly, but she is not.

Update on Sia....

Sia just phoned, surgery went well and she is now recovering. Her voice was with relief to know that they were able to remove the ovarian cyst without difficulties, even though it had begun to attach to her colon. According to her physician, she didn't think it was malignant, but was sent to patho for results. She is enjoying her pca pump now and is in minimal pain. She also stated that she would remain in the hospital through the weekend.

Sia asked me to let "the girls" know how she was doing and to thank everyone for their thoughts & prayers....

1st blog...confused!!!

1st I'm happy to have found this site, I always and still kind of do feel alone when it comes to my situation. My husband, MG, and I have been married for 2 yrs, he has an 8 y/o, AG, from a previous "fling" you could call it. AG doesn't have much contact with her mother, a.k.a. the Socio. AG lives with us full-time. I'm basically the "mother" figure in her life and this is really taking a toll on me. I don't have any children myself and this is a hard role for me to fill.

10 most wanted

Chel Bell's picture

Saw this on yahoo news, a poster put out by the D.O.R. here in Ma. with pictures of the 10 most wanted" deadbeat dad's" wanted for failing to pay CS. The list topper was from Plymouth, and has fled the state of Ma. to Florida (that gave me a laugh), and now they can't find him. It is upsetting to see so many "run-away dads", makes me wonder why, as we know sometimes how hard it is for some fathers who do pay on time all the time....but they still do it. I also wonder why they don't have a poster made up of "dead beat" BM's or, why you never really hear about that???

Court Yesterday...

First of all...I truly appreciate all my friends who have followed my not so stepparent related story, and kept me in your thoughts and prayers. From the bottom of my heart...thank you.

So ultimately, it got continued until March 3rd (next week). Not because either of us requested it, but simply because we ran out of time.

I am going crazy and amazingly has nothing to do with bm or sk's

Well this is the first time I have posted a blog, but I totally feel helpless right now and I need some advice. Last week at my bd's (11) parent teacher conference we talked about her being autistic. I know this is not the end of the world, I am just having a really hard time with this. She is developmentally delayed and has seisure disorder.She was also diagnosed anorexic last year do to the fact that she is 11 and weighs 60 pounds, she has actually dropped below the 5th percentile on the height weight chart.

Just want your opinions

H has had custody of sd since she was 4 and we got married when she was 10. In the 6yrs between it has become apparent that the majority of the time sd was either with her grandmother, an aunt or a sitter. When he talks about that time it's always about going on fishing trips and parties. Never about activities that the two of them did or events concerning sd. Also I get the impression that H was a man ho. When he does talk about sd at that age it's always about what kind of trouble she caused at school and other public places. The scary thing is that it's always with pride.

I feel hope again.

Recently I have really tried to be expressive to my DW about my feelings and thoughts about our marriage and our difficulties. I pointed out things I had been doing all along, and did my best to explain why I was pushing for certain things in regards to handling SD13.
Also earlier in the month for her BDay and Valentines Day I tired to send the message of how much I cared for her and SD, how much I wanted to make things work.
DW had but up a fairly tough wall due to our differences with SD. There had been no physical intimacy for an extremely long time.

Not taking SS on vacation...

melis070179's picture

Do any of you ever take vacations without the SKs? Here's my situation: usually SS comes here for 7-10 in the summer...but this year MIL wants us to go to their state this summer for a week for my DHs grandpa's 80th birthday, which I have unhappily agreed to (I hate going to their podunk town & all the hassles of traveling 14 hrs in a car with small children) So, this year we are not flying SS out here, since we will be making the trip there.

Step 2 ~ Communications with Miss Piggy

Chel Bell's picture

Well aside from everything els I have going on, DH and I talked last night about when and how to communicate with BM (Miss Piggy),(relating back to a past post of what animal would BM be/resemble) about having the skids come here for their visit. My MIL has not said anything about talking to BM (i don't think she really wants to), and that's o.k., it is up to us to do it really, I understand, but DH is dragging a little on this.
