I wrote before about my 12sd pulling the switch on me. that is, she talks in a princess voice like a four year old when we are with everyone, is polite and is waited on to the point where she is so spoiled, but as soon as it is just her and i she switches to a sassy, rude evil sd. she has thrown things at me, gives me huge attitude, and has looked me in the eyes and said some of the rudest things to me (my favorites would include comments that insult my family, out of the blue saying 'youre NOT pretty', and after she hit ME telling her dad that i hit HER).
My 13 year old step son with whom I felt I had a great relationship with blew up on me today. They left us on Sunday to spend the week with their mom. He got upset bc my husband asked that they cut the grass if they had a chance. He lashed out saying is that the only reason why you all want us over here is to do the chores. He explained that they stayed up late at their mom's bc her workout stuff is in their room and she workout late last night. Although, I know his actions were bc he was tired still gives him no reason the say the things he said.
I don't know where to begin with this. I guess I will start with some basic information. I am mother to a 12 year old boy and step mother to a 16 year old girl, whose mother hates my guts... Anyways we pay alot of money in child support for sd but husband never gets to see or talk to sd. They had a big fight about 3 weeks ago over us selling a car that sd didn't want and ex told dh to never call again and so on. Anyways dh hasn't called in 3 weeks, I have tired to tell him to call and just leave messages for sd that you love her, but he won't.
This is my first blog, hi. I am so grateful that i stumbled upon this site. Just from reading other people's blogs, I already feel like some weight is coming off of my shoulders. I definitely feel the need to vent some feelings and even though this is as anonymous as can be, I feel incredibly anxious and that i am doing something 'wrong' in writing a blog here and guilty that i even have these feelings. on the other hand, i feel that once i start venting that i am not going to be able to stop!
Until I recently found this site, I felt so alone but now I realize that dealing with what I am going through is not all that uncommon...and all you ladies, just reading your stories, your frustrations etc has given me comfort and more than that... hope. (I don't know if comfort is the right word, but I don't feel so alone in this battle as before.) I am going through my own divorce which is at the end. Other than the shock and horror of finding out my ex husband had 4 affairs during our marriage, we have had a decent divorce.
Disclaimer: if you haven't read the other crazy entries, you won't know what the heck I am talking about.
I've had the talk with "D"H, and supposedly, he is going to have a chat with his daughter. The talk basically means that I have said, as nicely and clearly as I am able, that I can't do it anymore.
So, we're now at the time the SS (now 14) comes to live with us and SD (now 13) and SS (now 
are all living with us. The two youngest we found out were molested and my mom and grandma had died earlier in the year.....
This morning when we dropped the children off at daycare SD11 and I had a "moment". I always get out and hug/kiss each child and tell them that I love them and to have a great day. This morning I hugged SD11 and she hugged me for a little longer than usual and looked up at me and smiled. I hugged her a little tighter than usual and smiled right back at her. I know this is a small accomplishment but it sure has made me feel good all day. Now things could have gone to complete crap with them after I left....but at that moment we were good.
My BF's daughter turned 18 and graduated HS in June. He no longer has to legally pay CS. Well this is killing BM. She's coming up with all kinds of extras for him to share in. He is willing to help his daughter in college, but he wants his daughter to talk to him about college, so he doesn't have to deal with BM any longer. His daughter hasn't been over for visitation for over a year now. But that's another story. It just seems like as long as he is giving money and buying gifts, graduation, birthday, she talks to him. But otherwise he can hardly get her to talk to him.
So miss perfect, wonderful, mom of the year, or at least that's what she claims to be when talking to my SO, lets him know last night that their 18 year old son won't graduate high school this year. WTF!!!
