I have written on this site before, but it's been awhile......back in july my DH & I were going through a long, and difficult custody battle with his EX, involving where SS should live. My DH had gotton custody of SS the year before, but BM went nuts and was making life hell for everyone, and hired a lawyer to get him back. Then SS starts saying he wants to "go home", he's 13, and in Fl.
The last three years of my life has been very difficult,, I married a man with two daughters, ages now 18 and 14. I also have two daughters, ages now 11 and 14. We have our girls full-time except for the oldest who just moved out to attend college. Prior to me entering his life, his mother spent a majority of time in their life helping him raise the girls,, their BM is bi-polar and is in and out of their lives. Since my marriage to him, his mother has interferred in our life either by telling my H or other family members how things with his girls should be maintained.

This is my first post. I haven't had the time to peruse many other posts as of yet - but finally finding a place to "vent" about my fiance's kids is wonderful!
Well, this last episode is ringing in my ears - if this isn't a wake-up call what isn't?
Having the rare opportunity of the house to ourselves, we had a cosy evening in front of the tv, watched a good film, enjoyed a good bottle of wine, then he initiated making out there on the sofa! Great, felt fantastic, like it used to be .... then.... his daughter texted him and he just got up & read it and then texted back!! Like I was nothing! There I was, just lying there, thinking how could he be such a stupid, uncaring slob of a man!
I feel like a horrible, horrible person but I wish to never, ever see my husband's bd again! I have 2 children, 8 & 11 a& his bd is 8. She is rude, manipulative, devious and lies like no other! I have ended my relationship because I do not trust to be in the same room with for fear of what she will come up with next. She has lied about bd 'beating her up'. She finally admitted she lied. She's made lies about bs and finally admitted to it. Same with me.
So my baby is two weeks old today. He's my first biological kid and for the first time since I've been a SM have I really realized how horrible the step kids biological mom's are. I CANNOT grasp the concept that they just leave their kids.
No offense against our wonderful dad's who post , but what i am about to report is indeed a "most" statement not an "all" statement.
i am feeling that ever familiar rage again today. why? because i hate crazy people! just thinking about how twisted and corrupt their image is of us tears me up. do they actually believe we are the bad guys? how can they?!!!! ALL we want is to spend time with sd and for those four days a month, they hate us, they tear us apart, they blame us, and they pick pick pick!!!! i just can't take it today. i really really really try to live my life happy and kind, always thoughtful of others and i definitely don't go about trying to ruin people's lives.
Our lawyer advised us to enroll SD in our HS asap, even before final custody papers have been drawn up. BM is dragging her feet on the papers and we want to have SD in our school district by thanksgiving. I just called the school and they said they won't admit her until all papers have been signed. I explained that SD would be living with us before the papers were official and she would need to be going to school. I was told that DH needs to contact the superindentant and explain the situation. I was also told that since I was "just the SM" it should be DH that called.
