My children, (I always call them my children, because I've had them for over half of their lives.)Wanted to go see BM after church yesterday, so I called her and told her they wanted to come see her. In her oh so sleepy voice, she said they can come by for a MINUTE. Then explained to me how their little brother was not there as if I said they wanted to just come by to see him. I politely made a uturn, we went home and had a cookout. She never even called to see what happened. She does this all the time to them. I just want her to relinquish her rights and go far away.
I'm the only one on this site right now. Thanks to an incurable state of insomnia. Something has to give. So I've been writing away, commenting etc. and really connecting to you all from yesterday's conversations. Usually I blog about my troubles and I know we do love to hear positive things.
I'm pretty excited right now and it has nothing to do with being a step parent or having step children, I just want to share. Okay with you????
Since my step kids are older, and since they refuse to come over or be nice to their little sister, my 2 year old with their dad (for those of you who don't know), I feel like I'm raising an only child. It pains me so much. As a child myself I always believed that it wasn't a good thing to grow up without siblings. I've had a couple of miscarriages trying to have another, and frankly I think I might have missed the boat. I'm 43.
I know that a couple people on here are currently struggling with the question "Should I stay or should I go?" and I know I was at one time too. I wondered whether it was me; surely I was being unreasonable. The temper tantrums and drama couldn't have been that bad.
We had a strange occurance last weekend, which could be a total fluke but I still have hope that these are the winds of change, and however gently the breeze blows there is hope.
Last friday, my SS transitioned to our home. He reported to me that his mother and step-father befriended a homeless male adult that walked up to them while they were painting their porch, offered his help, and they ended up letting this man stay at their house. That first night, this man was found in SS's step-brother's bed. When SS confronted his mother about his fears regarding this man, his mother told him that he had nothing to worry about and that the man inadvertedly had gone to the wrong room. SS told his mother that this man could end up in his bed.
We have been to court so many times we can not afford an attorney so we went through the current order and changed it to how we would like to have it, tell me if I am missing anything or if we are asking for to much or if you can not understand something
IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED, ADJUDGED AND DECREED:
DH and I are newlyweds. At times I am so glad we got hitched and other times I think what in the world did I get myself into. I have a BD7 and SS15. DH and I dated for 2.5 years before we got married. I never really was able to have a relationship with SS. The BM is a manipulative control jealous freak and SS is spoiled. When the two of them are not around DH and I have a great relationship including my BD. Anytime SS needs something I try to help DH anyway I can. However, BM is very demanding and controlling.
Thanks again for all the help you guys have given me this week. I think I've got my head straight, but let's just see how long that lasts.
I was wondering if anyone has seen that movie "The Stepmother" (or something like that) with Julia Roberts. I saw it a long time ago & I was wondering if you guys thought it was pretty accurate.
Anyhoo, I hope everyone has a good weekend. Take care,
Hipi
I can't help but think that it's temporary, but at least for now BM is controlling herself and acting like an adult. BF and I are ever so thankful! If things could just always be like this! Of course I'm sure that it's just because the court stuff is coming up on the 26th. But there's a teeny tiny chance that it might be sincere...I'm not getting my hopes up though.
