Need advice!!

GoingNuts's picture

Is it so wrong that I have completely eliminated myself from my stepdaughters life. Ever since my h's ex went to court I stopped helping with her homework, worrying about buying her clothes and paying for medical bills, I also stopped picking her up and going to extra activities. My life has been so much better since I have done this but I wonder if this is a bad thing and hope that my SD figures it out when she gets older that her mom is a major B**ch. Can someone please give me any suggestions or tell me if I am doing the right thing?

Annoying Phone Call........

Chel Bell's picture

My peace is invaded again!! I was already annoyed last night, it was a long day, and I was letting something get the better of me, then at 10:12 pm, when I was just getting settled down....BM calls! I'm like WTF...what could she possibly want now? DH is holding the phone, I could see he was debating on answering it, I said "no way , not tonite, not now!" So she leaves a message as she used to do in the past. We go to listen to it, and , she is calling me!?! She is drunk first off, her words were slurring, and running together.

Feeling disheartened

I'm beginning to wonder why we ever decided to move to be closer to SD. BM's parental alienation is just too much for me to take anymore. I guess I used to be able to handle it better before when I thought that it wasn't actually working on SD. But now, I don't know, I'm so discouraged, disheartened, hopeless. I really don't think that we'll be able to continue having a meaningful relationship with SD. It's so sad and scary - she's turning into a mini-version of her mother which is my *worst* nightmare.

I just don't know how to deal anymore.

Is it me or is my DH a total moron?

Sometimes I think my DH goes out of his way to frustrate me on purpose, he can't really be that simple, can he? Masybe it's me? I honestly just don't ever think I will get a grip on how he thinks. The stuff he says and does has absolutely no logic to me. Case in point, my SS11 has had a project to do for school, it was due today, he worked on it a while back but then left it which is how it always goes. Of course last night DH had to move him along to finish it.

Nipping it in the bud now?

I have been reading through some of the posts over the last couple days and am so happy that I somehow managed to stumble across this site. It is such a relief to see that I am not alone and that I am not wrong in feeling the way I do sometimes. And Im hoping that some of you can help me with a few suggestions....

First counseling session today

Mary Louise's picture

I am very excited. Hoping we can get some good suggestions for dealing with bm and mil, who both show signs of BPD. It's been making ME feel nutso trying to deal with them.

The focus of our counselor's practice is "family systems" and he has a lot of years experience. Wish me luck in adequately being able to explain the situation...

How court went...:)

So...Nothing went her way. When they got there it turned out they weren't even on the docket for today for some reason. They sat down to explain to the docket guy why they were there so that he could either put them on the docket or schedule them to come back another day. BF's's lawyer explained that there was no change in his income and if anything it had gone down because of gas prices and that we're going to have a baby soon. She said that her income had gone down significantly and that's why she filed the petition to modify.
