Does anyone feel sick before visitation weekends? We have SD over every other weekend. Before, DH would pick SD up from school. BM would call them and ask them to drop by her house to pick up clothes (whatever). This stressed me out...now, we have more clothes at our house and DH tells BM "no, we have clothes for her." I don't know if it was excuse to interact with him or what, I don't know.
I should have added that the my SD suffers from major depression and should be on medication but doesn't take it. My husband tried shrinks but goes once and quits. My SD's mother is a looney tune as well so therefore his daughter lives with us. She communicates with everyone else but me and my family. My SD talks so highly of her mother but does not live with her....
I just recently got married a year ago and have inherited 3 stepkids 2 boy older out of the house. I stepdaughter 18yrs old living with us. The releationship with her and I has been very unhealthy to say the least. Because her rudeness and ill comments towards me I have thrown in the towel. I am not talking to her because I am so hurt. I have helped out with soo many things and time and time again she has been disrepectful and ill will towards me. She has not spoken a word in 2 weeks. She comes home goes straight to her room and my husband (her dad) never says one word.

- MIL out of town for 1 week, YAY
Anyhow, DH and I are really getting along well lately too. Ever since he told BM to piss off and stop calling him, seems like we've reconnected in a big way. I hope it lasts... I know it will be great the next week since its just us and his dad at home. cross your fingers for me. I think I might even go home for "lunch" today. 
BM is planning to get Sd from us tomorrow, her attorney sent ours what is supposed to be her occupational driver's license. Our attorney noticed the license was first faxed at 11p.m. Monday night to her attorney by AUSTIN BAIL BONDS.
Question is, does anyone know a reason a bail bonds place would have someone's occupational drivers license?????
My understanding was she had to send the order from the judge that granted her occupational license to the main DPS office in Austin to process, then they would mail it to her if approved.
I just had to get this out or I feel like I'm going to explode! Went to counseling last night with live-in DBF. We began counseling over 1 1/2 ago. It has come to a point where I had to set a major boundary with his 2 daughters to not be around me or my son any longer. They live full-time with their BM and my DBF sees them and spends time with them on the weekends and during the week. The two daughters have been emotionally abusive towards me and my son for years.
For the most part, my SD6 and I have had a good, loving relationship over the past 4 years. Three weeks ago I gave birth to a little boy and since then I find that SD is completely getting on my nerves. She's being really sweet and is very excited about her new brother and wants to help with everything. I just don't know what is going on with me but I am finding it difficult to have her around (she's with us 3 days a week). I find that I've stopped making eye contact with her and have to bite my tongue to keep from saying obnoxious comments. Any insights? Anyone had similar experiences?

-BM leaves txts to make me mad
- FH and I fight over jealousy, ruin my birthday.
Ok so I want to hear stories of whether or not your situation with BM improved or got worse when BM got married. Little background for those who don't know me. DH and I have been married 2 1/2 years. We have my BD14, SD11 and SD6. DH is primary custodian for his 2 and my daughter is with us all the time. BUSY!
Anyway, we've had crazy times especially in the beginning but this year has BY FAR been our best. Boundaries set, I disengaged from BM a while ago and only DH deals with her...it works for us.
So my soon to be SD is now approaching the age of 2. And seeing how her life has changed since I have come in it about nine months ago, my fiancé and I have determined it is time to take the BM to court. It really isn't about him wanting to see his daughter more, he sees her pretty much every day. It is mainly about the lack of structure. As it goes now SD is with us Thursday thru Sunday and during the other days while BM is at work. If fiancé is at work at the same time as BM he has to arrange for some sort of child care and pay for all of the costs.
