2008 - one to forget...

wittywoman's picture

I am hoping someone may be able to share their story or share some advise.

I have been with my BF for 2 years, he has 2 sons under 10 y.o. His divorce to BM is still not finalized, they have been working off a verbal agreement and he is now trying to get a written agreement drafted and finalized through the lawyers.

I have no children of my own (well I treat my 2 dogs as children, so I'm told, but that really doesn't count). I have never been married.

I have a few questions:

Ss's Bad Attitude

Dawn-Moderator's picture

It's really just aimed at me mostly. I've noticed that when ss is getting along well with Bm, he treats me very badly. Lately, since Bm got her lawsuit settlement of what has to be at least more than $100,000, she's been buying ss everything he wants.

They went window shopping over the weekend so she could make sure to buy EVERYTHING for his Christmas. So of course she is successfully buying him off and he really thinks she's the bees knees right now.

The Art of Disengaging...

There has been alot of talk of disengaging on the board and I think its a very valuable topic to discuss...I have gone back to disengaging since DH returned from a 15 month tour in IRAQ four weeks ago and then began to undermine me with Step brat...Yep, I kept her here with me for the duration of the 15 months tour only to have him begin stripping me of my authority and respect or critisizing the little things that he feels that I "didn't do right" with her while he was gone...I enjoy disengaging because it tends to "stick it" to DH in a matter that isn't negative...

DUH! How could I have missed this-the light bulb just went on

I was replying to a post from vickmeister regarding my self assessment and honesty, etc.

I am a fixer. That's no light bulb there-I've known that for along time. Ergo, I attract those who need fixed. A fact I am also aware of, but seem unable to control. Being a fixer is not fun. Also is not self-diagnoised. My ex's pshyciatrist referred to me as such. And it tends to be a middle child trait. That would be me.

Feel Like I'm Being Used

I don't post very much but today I'm pissed and need feedback.

Little background - DH and I have been married for 3.5 years and together for 7 yrs. My relationship with SS8 is great. He doesn't remember a time when his dad and I were not together, so he has never treated me with anything but respect. I have always gone on pick ups and drop off and honestly, do most of them myself due to DH's work schedule. For the most part, all of us (DH, BM, and me) got along.

YOU SHOULD HAVE TO PAST A TEST BEFORE HAVING A KID

Rosedeer's picture

BM what to say is a stupid f**kin b**ch, my DH has mediation today and of course BM never agrees to anything thinks she is going to win full custdy in DEC. eventhough she has moved 6 times in 2 years and has moved my SS daycare 9 times, she gets 600 a month in CS and they have split custody and placement. So I have a question who is able to claim my SS on taxes, my DH pays more for him for sure. She says she does not use the CS she just puts it into a savings, whatever, she only makes 26,000 a year.

Hello Everyone!!

I've been on here a while lurking, but I've never really had the guts to just introduce myself and say hello. I've been with my BF for almost 4 years now, and we've been living together for 2. He has one son who is just the greatest kid. We have a great relationship. It took a while at first for us to find some common ground with one another, but now we get along beautifully. He has his moments like all children, but those are few and far between. He's well behaved, makes good grades in school, stays out of trouble, and I really couldn't ask for more.

Thanksgiving weekend already ruined

jen76's picture

My night started off crappy from the minute I left work. H calls me to tell me that our son had just thrown up on our bedroom floor(carpet)and what should he do? Um, wipe it up. I wouldn't be home for another 30-45 minutes and didn't want it soaking in. He complained about it, but did it. (and not very well by the way) As soon as I walk in the door he tells me that he had talked to SD and she wants to come this weekend. Are you F-ing kidding me??? First of all this isn't our year to have her for Thanksgiving which cancels out our regularly scheduled weekend.
