Our attorney is driving me CRAZY!!!

Our attorney finally got it together enough yesterday to reset the hearing we missed Tuesday for Monday morning. But why the heck didn't get the restraining order or order for temporary possession or whatever he feels like calling it?!!! DH and I have been on him for a week that we want to get back to being legal in keeping SD, and a judge granted us a restraining order for us to keep SD when we felt like BM was going to put SD in danger by taking her to her abusive mother's house before.

I Have a Problem, or Two.

I don't like one of my stepdaughters. She is only six years old, but I have trouble even liking her. When her father and I started dating fours years ago, we got along great. I find her to be completely irritating now. She lives with her mother, who I absolutely cannot stand in any way, shape, or form. She is completely spoiled by everyone, gets everything she wants, and thinks she is just the cutest thing.

We are seeking professional help!!!

My DH and I are going to a wonderful counselor Monday to talk about how to deal with his Ex Adult SD! Remember? Should he stand up to her about me or should I stand up to her! She uses us and what should we do about it! I can't wait to hear what she has to advise!! I hope I am happy with the results! I may be swallowing my pride! I ll let y'all know who it goes! I will say I plan on taking her advise if I like it or not! (i hope...LOL)

What do you do in this kind of situation as a stepmom??

Recently BM finally found a guy she hangs out with and now she is starting to abandon her children like not being there when I drop the kids off so that she'll get one more night with this new guy. I feel like a slave until one day I said to her that since she primary custodial parent it's her responsibility to find a babysitter but she says she's too poor but she won't go to work or skip out on work. She is getting a huge amount of money from us and now she is treating me like a slave.

I guess this is a stand off.

Well, here we are, in contempt. BM was supposed to get SD back on Monday. DH and I were condsidering keeping her because of our fears of what craxy BM would do or say when she found out about all the info we put in the petition for a change in temp orders, but BM kinda helped our decision when she text DH at 8:30pm on Sunday to say she was sending her ex-fiancee(whom 3yo SD hates) to pick her up on Monday. And no doubt, he was going to keep her all day too.

Please Someone tell me if I am wrong!!

Okay here is my story. DH and I have been together for about 8 years, married 6. He has 1 son 18 and 1 daughter 15. We also have a daughter 6 together, and I have 3 Bio daughters ages 22, 18,16. When I came into the picture SS and SD where living with BB. When I moved here they where at our house practically everyday. He would pick them up from school and they would come over eat dinner, do homework and sometimes even get their baths then he would take them home. We were supposed to get the EOW but they would be here every weekend. DH was paying CS $600.00 monthly.

She got a MAN!!!

BM finally got a man!!! She has been saying that she had one months ago but we knew they she didn't because she was so worried about what we are doing. When we dropped off ss on Sunday we saw him through the window. I am not sure how long this will last( can't see anything wanting to be with such a control freak) but my question is do you think that now that she has a man she will stop all of her BS atleast for a while. I ask this because she has made comments to DH before about that another man is going to take his place as ss father.

No change

Well hope everyone is having a good week! I'm stressed to the max and wishing I had eloped!!! Just kidding

We had a pretty good weekend with SD. I was around a little bit but still gave them time alone. We had a lot of fun in the time spent though. But she still wont budge on the wedding. It's in two weeks and I'm praying she will change her mind. BM's bday is next weekend and we're hoping to swap then. Everyone cross your fingers and pray for us!

leaving today and i feel good about it

i know i am doing the right thing. pretty much all of these posts were right on. i found out yesterday that he had been hiding a few more conversations with his ex from the past several weeks. so more secrets, more lies. he said he has been afraid of his ex and i finally interacting because she may be cruel and tell me things that he has said, even during my relationship with him. red flag? i think so. some recent conversations with her were even about me / my personal life. also with his kids. the conversations were about information that bm should not know about me.
