OK, yesterday I went OFF in a crazy-mad post, then went off on a person who left a comment.
Here's the thing.
I just found out that my best friend was diagnosed with cancer...again. It began in one place, and she fought it like hell. After a year in chemo and surgeries she was told she was clear...only to get this new news 2 months later.
This woman is 33! She loves garden fresh vegetables and is fit/thin. I guess I just thought what so many others did/do, cancer doesn't happen to people who are young and eat right. Right? Wrong.
I don't know how much more I can take. I can't stand the fighting with hubby, I can't stand SD's whining, lying, crying, bad behavior, or even presence any more. The kid is a problem and my husband constantly overcompensates, takes the blame for her, lets her get away with hurting our two small children, and I am literally at the end of my rope.
I need SERIOUS opinions. As my close friends know my marriage is a DISASTER right now. Not becuase of my husband or myself but becuase of his childs mother. For the last four years I have been in court 4 times, had the police called 29 times, and now had DHS called on me becuase I told her her kid needs to go on a diet that he is obese. Cayden is 5. He is 89 pounds. He has complined his heart hurts when he is out running around, he can not run distance without panting and saying he needs to rest, and he has 4 rolls on his tummy. Not to mention rolls on his back.
Hi all,
I have been reading so many posts from people who are so greatful to have this site. Called it many things: a god send, my saviour & the only sanity some SP's have.
As I am in Australia and wasn't sure about how to get a donation to Dawn to keep this running smoothly, as I notice more and more posts everyday. But alas she has a PayPal option!
This is me...being insane. *sigh* I just re-read what I typed and I am wondering if I should be in a straight jacket or something. lol. Feel free to ignore this post, btw.
OMG this week has been trying to kill me and other people I know. I wish this was a joke but it isn't. I am about to come unglued. When it happens, and it is a matter of WHEN and not IF, it'll be felt all around the world. Yes, even where you are.
I remember how it was the first year DH and I got together and began the process of blending our families. He was supportive, sensetive, and communicated. We were very connected. In everything. We could read each others thoughts with very little effort. He has 4 children (SS18, SD17, SS15, SD13). I have 2 children (BS12, & BS9). Both my children are disabled. My oldest has PDD (part of the autistic spectrum)with eplipsy. He will be with us for the rest of his lift. My youngest son has a severe Mood Disorder NOS.
Is anyone on here familar with the laws concerning custody. The Attorney General has already placed joint conservative manangement with BM primary residence. Does anyone know of any websites I can go to to read up on the laws, or suggestions on how to modify the child parent relationship? I sure this can be done, just a little lost at how to get the ball rolling. I appreciate all of you help.
Thanks,
Kim
I'm wondering why I continue to feel like crap. The job of step-parent is hard enough. Is it harder when you are the custodial stepmother? I've really hit a rough patch and I'm not sure I know how to fix it. Long story short...I get the blame for everything. SD's(10&6) get disciplined, it's my fault. School is too much pressure, it's my fault. IT'S MY FAULT B/C I PAY FOR A PRIVATE EDUCATION? I've really had it. Their BM is a psycho. She's no help. She thinks life should be fun and the girls should dance 4 nights a week. WHOOOO FREAKIN HOOOO.
I got an email from my husband's ex. She now wants us to consider her having the boys 50-50. She hopes we come to an agreement before the end of the year so she won't have to take us to court. Was that a threat? Ok first of all she was the one who gave them up to us. I recall her one time at their basketball game saying to me(we had only met 1-2 times before this) you all take them after the game, I can't deal with them anymore. I mean I'm sure some of us have thought of that before, but I surely wouldn't act on it. All kids get on our nerves here and there. Their kids.
I swear this woman never ceases to amaze me. She is constantly running at the very last minute of every event. School is suppose to start tomorrow in our area, ss is already registered for his school. BM has a younger child starting kindergarten, and she is scrambling to get him enrolled into school!! It's the night before school starts and she is just now trying to get him registered!!!!
This is the same woman that said it was better for her 13 year old to live with us b/c of the structure and stability, and then 1.5 months later said.."but ss wants to live with me!"
