So I have a tale to tell. Not quite step-related, but as a mother who has had to console three crying children (step and bio) this week, I just wanted to share.
I've noticed that I've been saying the words, "BF won't let me do that," a lot lately. He won't "let me" go to the tanning bed, or become a massage therapist, or spend the night with a friend, or highlight my hair, or smoke... Now, granted he can't stop me from doing any of these things, but in the interest of saving my own sanity from having to deal with the fallout afterwards (including him leaving me if I smoke), I just don't do them. The only thing he's ever actually come out and said "No" to was me giving blood before our vacation.
Im new to steptalk...i will write all about my story later but i had a quick question and was wondering if anyone could help. My future DH has just been imformed he is losing his job as of next march. If he doesnt get a job immediately, will he still have to pay CS until he gets a new job? He is going to mediation soon & we want to bring this up bc it is likely he will not be able to get a job at his current income level...he is only making as much as he is now bc he has been w the company for several yrs. How does all this affect his future CS payments?
Well I took a week off of writing to see if I could come up with some ways to vent or to work the issues in my life out in a different way.
We recently redid both kids bedrooms-H painted and acted like the job was finished, so I spent the entire week washing clothes, putting them in the new dressers, closets, putting away toys, organizing everything. He never lifted another finger.
Hopefully someone can answer this for me.............
Why do skids refer to their father as "my" dad? SD16 called last night to speak with her father and I answer his cellphone, because she refuses to call the house. She says (really nasty I might add), "Is 'my' dad there?" When did it change from just dad to "my" dad. Is she trying to show some sort of possession?
We sent BM a new part of the proposal last Wednesday. She finally responded today - 7 days later. Plus BM has the balls to give BF a deadline (April 30, 2008) for figuring this all out or she is getting a mediator. If they get a mediator, BM will drag this out forever and cost both of them lots of time and money. She dragged her feet during the divorce and even changed lawyers. Pretty much all the money BF got out the divorce went to his lawyer. BM had not been forth coming with insurance costs and even her boss is helping her to pull the wool over BF's eyes.
We got the house!!!! Found out today for sure. My DH's brother in law called us and said it's all a go. We move in May 1st. My DH , will be making good $$, the rent will be very affordable, & we will now have long term stability. I'm so happy...GOD IS GOOD. 
Thank you all for your prayers,& good vibes. Now we feel strongly that we can handle the rest.Of course we will not say anything to the skids, so BM does not know.
I'm so angry I'm shaking...WHY does she insist on dragging me into crap that doesn't pertain to me?? She is blaming me, my BD and fiancee for FSS's regression and his bad behaviors.
This woman never ceases to amaze me...Fiancee wrote her today and said she is 3 months behind on her half of the loan payment and he wants all 3 payments by the end of this month or he's going to take her back to court. She writes back and complains that she hasn't gotten her full child support in 2 months...it's like explaining something to a 2 year old...CSE takes the money out of his check and sends it to her...he has no control over what they take out...so she says since he "owes" her that remainder he can use that as her loan payment...what the hell is wrong with this woman??
To disengage, that way a lot of you say. I really need some help with this!!!
