My story is complicated, crazy BM with personality disorder who engaged in PAS to turn SD16 and SD14 against us. SD16 beat me up one year ago, never felt remorse. I was investigated by CPS and the police, no fun!! They were with us 50/50 but moved to their mother's permanently approx. 9 months ago. This was against our wishes. BM has no boundaries and the kids are just a paycheque. They do not even live with her. The kids have been horrible and nasty to me and my DH. I have watched them break his heart.
Question for those EOW-ers out there. Do you find that you and your significant other end up having arguments in the 24-48 hrs. after the SK's go back home?
I've been following the "guilt parenting" threads for a while now, and it sure seems that the behavior is getting ramped up for the Happy Holiday Season!
Before I became a "step," holidays were a time for family and joy. Now the holidays have turned into Hellidays, and I am dreading them already. Add the bad economy into the mix, and my stomach starts to churn.
Ok so im going to put the response from him regarding the Guilt parenting that he is doing that I mentioned to him and you guys tell me what you think!
"i read the letter and i agree with what it says. but i still think it will help both of us if we were to try to comunicate a little more with SD. i am not asking you try to be her mom. i am just asking for you to be like a freind. i want her to be able to go to for anything and not be afraid to ask you anything. we want to be a family we need to act like one. both of us with both kids. now if i am wrong let me know."""
ok I need some advice in this My SD comes over every other weekend and every other day. SD and I do not speak at all to each other (she is 9). Its like she chooses to just not see me there. She has wrote her dad a couple of letters saying how she doesnt like him kissing or hugging me. Everytime that I try over the weekend to talk to her its good but once she goes home and comes back its back to the old drawing board. Like im starting all over again. Im tired of this.
the 3rd party who claimed for cs for the sd now 16yrs old. Sent a letter in response to our wanting the assessment reduced , sent it after her 28 days to argue.
she totally downgraded me (we once were friends) said i could not budget our expenses , anything & everything she said so many harsh things :sick:
I just cant believe what this woman said . Said that hubby she not have moved on and started another family , that his main duty was to his first family.
My husband has two teenage daughters. We have been married for 4 years and one of them seems to always have issues with me. I believe it's because her mother doesn't like me. It truly hearts my feeling because I try so hard. She had to be told to say good night to me when she goes to bed. She would hug and kiss her dad and walk right by me and not say a word. She was worse when we first married she was 7 then, now she's 13. I have never been anything but good to her and have tried so hard to have some sort of relationship with her.
I was having a wonderful morning - slept in, had plans to do stuff around the house, etc until my boss called. He said he was stopping over at my house. I work from home. I got my walking papers today. I guess the market (I work in real estate) is so bad they cannot justify paying me anymore. Bummer. I got a week's severence pay plus my paycheck for last week plus my vacation time that I have accured. I am so clueless on what to do now. I have not been unemployed for almost 12 years. I am not even totally sure how to apply for unemployment.
I'm just wondering if anyone could give me some suggestions as to where I can look for support. I'm having a really hard time with my latest life drama and I have found much comfort and guidence here before so I just thought I'd ask.
This is difficult to say, but my mother has married a registered sex offender.
The story is long, and I apologize:
She met him in church a little over a year ago, he was 3mos out prison after serving a 5 year sentance. He told her of his status, but somehow told her in a way that she did not consider it a deal breaker.
I'm so glad to be back on here! H finally left-it was Thur, Fri, Sat., Sun & today from Hell. That's how long he was here. It was horrible. I posted about him critizing everything I did this weekend-and throwing the trash on the floor-well, I can only tell you it got worse.
