In need of help

SoontobeWifeandMom's picture

I have a question regarding income tax. My fiancé and his ex have 50/50 custody of their daughter. When she was born they decided to switch every other year who would claim their child. That way in the end they would basically get the same back. Anyways so this is the 2nd time they are going to do it. BM filled child on her taxes the first year of daughter’s life. The problem is now it is fiancé’s turn to claim their daughter but, she has told him that she is going to claim their daughter because she needs to get a new car. Is there any way that he can stop this?

I am actually content today....

The tides may turn like they always do, but for today I'll kick my feet up and sit back and smile. BM is on a bipolar upswing (which is always helpful) and I think I'll enjoy the ride this time around. I am the constant worrier and I'm going to have a little faith in my husband. I think he's capable and it is HIS situation to handle.

I actually want BM to find this and see things from our perspective. I am inclined to believe that she has because I put a link to this site from myspace, which is how she tracked my thoughts before. She currently does not want to speak to me directly. Early on when I 1st met my FSS, BM actually showed him pictures of me from myspace, saying, "Is this the woman your father is with?" At that point, the poor kid said I was not.

Anyway, I probably should watch what I say here. I will say this, having read a lot here, I am finding my situation to be not quite so bad.

7 1/2 weeks

So I went to the doctor yesterday! I'm only 7 and 1/2 weeks! I thought surely I was further along. We had an ultra sound to see the baby and got to hear the heartbeat. I have to let yall know that now I feel better about the whole thing. I am still freaking out about telling SD but I am beginning to realize I just have to deal with it. Now I'm a lil scared about the baby tho. It's all so real. My doc said that I could have a lil depression early on expecially with all the extra stress due to BM and SD. But he told me to make sure I'm staying active even when I'm tired.

affection towards SD vs. affection towards wife - during visitation

I've been struggling with this for quite some time. It started in the beginning when SD was 7; when we first started getting visitation with her. I was DH's constant before SD came into the picture on a normal basis (usually the kid is always there, then the stepparent comes into the pic).

bio meeting, any bm's out there for advice on this one?

any bm's out there for advice on this one?

sd (13-yrs) is displaying behavioral problems, biting hitting spitting on bf. also, most recently sd acting sick and missing school - very convincing too (only beginning of 3rd quarter and sd has missed 3.5 days). sd forgets to take her medicine (medicine could be making sd ill). talks back to bf and me, always arguing/bickering.

bm is coming over tonight to talk about sd's behavior and medication.

should I be present?

or should this be between bio's only?

I have only been in the picture 2-years.
