BM has been calling my DH

laurels4u's picture

It seems she wants the kid's personal belongings and wants DH to pack it all up and drive it half way for her to pick up. DH doesn't know that I know this. I listen to his voicemails specifically for reasons like this because he selectively chooses what to tell me and what NOT to tell me. So apparently, he doesn't want me to know she's been calling to request the kid's stuff. To me, this isn't a big deal. The stuff is the kid's.

SD wants me to be friend on Myspace

We just got done with our month summer visit from SD. She has been asking for a myspace account since she got here. I told her she was too young (9) and so did DH. She asked BM and she said it was ok. I made sure it was ok with DH and he said if BM said yes, then ok. I set it up for her b/c BM is an idiot and probably wouldn't be able to do it. Plus I wanted to make sure it was private and no body could look at it unless they where her friend. She only has 5 friends and 3 are older cousins on our side, an Uncle on our side and a friend from back home.

Poor SS

Today is SS's birthday. BF has been trying to call him all day to wish him a happy birthday, but since BM's phone has been disconnected he had to wait until SS happened to be at his grandparents house when he called. BF said that everyone who he talked to today (SS's gmother, SS, and BM) sounded like they were on edge and upset. BM got on the phone after SS to talk to BF, who told her he had been trying to call her house but a recording said it was disconnected (up until now she claimed it "wasn't working right" because it would ring for the caller but not at her house).

Like an annoying insect

is a good way to describe BM. SHe always seems to flare up at times when you just start forgetting that she exists. My parents came here last night to go see a Big Band review with us. This morning I made them breakfast and we took them out on the boat for a ride around the island. The weather was perfect- 80 with a slight breeze and the water was calm.

Boy Scout vent

BettyRay's picture

SS6 will be a cub scout this year. FH has told SS6 and BM numerous times that he will participate with him just like he’s done for SS11. BM has always considered boy scouts to be a father/son activity. In the past BM has put guilt trips on FH when he hasn’t been able to attend SS11’s boy scout activities because of work.

So what do you think BM did?

She signed up to be SS6’s Den leader.

Poetic Justice

I never smile at the misfortunes of others, but in this case, I'll make an exception. For years, evil BM did everything to make life as a stepmom difficult for me. Went out of her way to make sure the kids preferred her, spoiling them, her entire life revolving around their every need, and expecting the same of me, while at the same time denigrating me in their minds as a nobody (she once referred to me as a "third party). Tried to undermine my wedding. Well. She finally got over her years of post-divorce man-hating and began dating a couple years ago. Met a guy and has married him.

Just a long rambling to try and clear my head so that I can do my paperwork.

Yesterday, when I got out of my meeting I found that CPS had tried to contact me. For some reason, they switched the case worker/social worker. This man did not have any of the information that I had given the first women. He didn't even have my husband's number. I thought this was a bit strange, but I've seen similar things happen in my company. So I gave him my husband's number and encouraged him to contact him to gather even more historical information regarding BM's past drug and alcohol abuse. He asked me if I knew where the BM was staying.

I need to forgive but how?

SoontobeWifeandMom's picture

I don't know when it started, probably not to long after I first met H, but I have been holding a grudge with him. I have not been able to forgive him for having SD2. How horrible is that? Being mad at a man for having a child before he met me. Maybe if H and BM actually loved each other I wouldn't feel this way but since he had a child with the most psychotic, white trash woman on the planet I can't help but to be mad. I can't help but to wish I met him sooner.
