Hello to everyone out there in step parent land.. I am so happy to have found this site. I was feeling so alone in my situation and really have no one else to vent to who really understands what I'm going thru or dealing with. Oh sure, I can tell someone that my husbands ex is crazy but I always get this look of "yeah..right"..then I go into "no..I mean she's reeaaalllyy crazy" they just don't understand how bad ex's can be. She really is crazy by the way.
and it still doesn't seem like it's enough.
SD16 has been very sick for a few months now. DH gave up his job last fall to sit with her in ICU-I took time off to be there for him (he has since started working again and it's a much better position!).
SD16 has a rare disease that has affected her memory. She doesn't know who anyone is, even her mother whom she has always lived with.
Went over to BF's for the wknd again.Tried to think positive.He made sure I got there and then said BM was coming into his pub on her birthday.He has compared me unfavourably to her before and I haven't met her/coping.
I was upsetabout her coming but wouldn't have stopped it and told him so.I had a drink and told him how upset I was that he rarely cared about my feelings.BM btw never has 'SS' any weekends or even part,most bdays or mothers day if it falls on weekend.She wanted her present off him.
STBH divorce hearing is tomorrow and he wants me to go with him. His lawywer told him that he needs a witness to testify to the fact that he and BB/STBEW have not lived together for the past 18 months. I don't want to do anything that would make her not sign those papers tomorrow. She is stupid. I know it would just make her ass itch to see me in court tomorrow. What would you ladies and gents do? :puzzled:
It's over! I'm tired of being disrespected and treated in a manner that no one in a relationship should ever be treated! I just broke up with my DBF of 9 total years and there is no looking back....I feel like all that I've been through was a total waste of time that I can never get back. All the counseling...a waste...all the talking...a waste...and what am I left with? My heart is broken and I don't know how I will go forward from this point...
DA
Ok, so lately I have realized that I am content and basically happy. Strange thing is I guess I finally had a little ephinany. I figured if DH (or BM for that matter) is not going to actually fight for (not just argue) the multitude of complaints that they throw back and forth at each other in the four year old like banter about SD----THEN, why should I care about their rants and raves?
I am currently going through a divorce with a'hole husband. We have a 6 month old. Yes only 6 months!!!! I got temp physical care of child with him have very little visitation. Every other weekend from 9 to 6 on Sat, Sun and every Wed from 5-8. I am sticking by the order 100percent. Last week I got a couple of emails from him saying his work schedule will change and he will be working extended hours. He would like to arrange something that "will benefit" our daughter. I flatly replied, "you have given me no specifics as to how this affects your court order visitation."
I'm just wondering if I am over reacting. I have a SD that is 17, she has been working off and on since she was 16. I am a little hurt that she has never thought about me in the sense of taking me to a movie or just buying me something just because she thought of me. Just until she started working I would always take her shopping, buy her nice purses, take her to the movies, etc.....I had a conversation with her this afternoon, I commented on her not buying me anything when she went to the mall and she said well you have everything with an attitude.
I am soooo upset right now, I can't see straight!! Everything has been pretty much calm regarding how my DBF has been spending Sundays with his BD's and spending Saturday's with me and my son. Well, last night one his Daughter's calls and tells him that she wants him to take her to a book fair today. I don't have a problem with switching days as long as I have notice. I've already made plans for us to go bowling and then go out to eat today. DBF tells me we can go earlier so he can still take daughter out.
Took the 5 little darlings out for dinner and a movie tonight. Had a great time. Saw Spiderwick, it's pretty good by the way. But you know when you get kids in a comfortable setting, like riding in the car shotgun they say the darndest things. We were all talking on the way home and SS11 says, "My cousin and her friends do drugs." I was like WHAT!! He says "my cousin does drugs." Mind you cousin is about 11 or 12 too??? This cousin is on BM side of the family. Cousins dad is a known user, and so is SS11 BM. When I say drugs I mean pot and possibly others but weed for sure.
