So the visit with my MIL went really well, which surprises me. She's off all her pain meds that made her so loopy & sleepy, so we actually had a nice visit. Next we have to go to Indiana for Thanksgiving (where MIL, "SS", and the BM live) We will try to arrange for SS to already be at MIL's house by the time we arrive so we don't have to go to BM's house to pick him up. So hopefully, if all goes well, we'll only have the see her when we drop him off when we leave town. Fingers crossed at least.
Since I already ranted about BM, I figured I would sketch out the background of the story.
BF's mother, brother, and two nephews came over today to hang out with us and the baby. MIL called BM's mother's house to talk to SS and see if he wanted to come with them because he hasn't seen his cousins literally in years. BM always says no when they try to get the kids together. SS ran down to his house to ask his Mom if he could go. Then, BM's mother called MIL back and said:
Our baby girl was born on September 30, 2008. She was 7lb 4oz and 20.5 inches long. She's absolutely gorgeous and a complete doll.
Thank goodness the site is back up! I've missed you guys and gals so much! So we got a response from BM on the petition to modify custody that BF served her. She said that BF had caused her severe emotional trauma from serving her these papers. She claims that he is not paying her child support (again) and is suing him for contempt of court. I would think that her lawyer would at least CHECK to see if that was TRUE before sending the paperwork through to sue him. But I guess you can sue anyone for anything you want to nowadays regardless of whether it's true or not.
Since it's early early in the morning (eta, this took over an hour to write) and DH is asleep, I might as well write.
Honestly, I would rather stab myself in the eye with a pen than get trapped in BM's life. Her life isn't a bad one, I suppose, but I cannot fathom how a supposedly adult woman can make the choices she has and be able to be proud of herself.
All of you are totally awesome. I am so happy that there's somewhere I can vent and not get called horrible, or bitter, or jealous (me? of the BM? hah!) From reading some of the earlier posts, I have it pretty darn good.
it was naggn me all day, i couldn't help it but feel like crap all day, took it out on my kids. For the 1 st time in 12 years we werent saying happy birthday to her . I emailed her all it was, was "happy 16th birthday" from dad, me . and kids !
even though she wont give a .... i did it anyway, i just couldnt handle the guilt ! i really wanted to buy her a pressy but just couldnt! ( maybe if i did but put it away for when needed)!
Have been thinking about my skids alot lately. My DH is missing them alot, of course, and he has pulled through some "tough moments" really well. He is happy about us being here, and with our home life and all, but I know he is worried about his kids, and how they are right now. His mom is supposed to visit with them soon, so she will let us know how they are. My DH did call SS on his cell phone, it went strait to v-mail, and we did not get a call back. I don't even know if he has possesion of the phone, but it was still his v-mail when DH called. I hope all is well with them.
SS11 and SS6 continue to treat our living room like a wrestling ring. They haven't hurt themselves or broken anything - yet. But DH and I are both at the end of our rope over this. Here's what we've tried:
Making them clean the living room when we catch them wrestling.
Time-outs.
Banning them from the furiniture ie. sit on the floor.
We've now resorted to banning them from the room. The only problem is then they wrestle in the dining room - ugh. So now we've been making them go to thier room or outside.
