Sometimes I wonder why I selected a man that was so previously abused by another woman, why did I take on the emotional baggage. Sure my dh is a great looking guy, who has a heart of gold, except that is towards his wife. Why is it that when a man finally finds a woman that has done nothing but seriously stand by his side during numerous court hearings, battled with in-laws, and helped him run a business w/o asking anything in return, why is it that a man still can not learn to trust again?
Sorry I've been gone for a few days and haven't had the chance to catch up on everything. We had a big blowup today as a result of a phone call from BM. Everything's fine now, but I still wanted to post what happened for others to read.
Guess what a little bird told me tonight? They overheard a conversation...where youngests wedding was being discussed. I don't know if it was youngest or oldest SD that said this but basically.
"If 'hubby' mentions lovin-lifes name in any way during his father of the bride speech nut jobs HEAD WILL EXPLODE!" He is not to mention my existance in any way.
I'm irritated with BM and DH!
Today while we were watching SS' water play at school we noticed he was flat footed. At first we were very concerned, did some research, this is normal until you are 8+. The other thing we noticed was that his ankle was rotated in. Did some research, this is pronation - this is not normal, and is not good.
What do I make out of this? So I've been talking to my mil regarding the nasty things that BM is doing. Everytime I share my troubles and frustrations regarding BM, my mil says nothing to me and just agrees and then that's it. She gives me no advice and comments regarding what I just shared w/her. I don't know what to make out of this? Does it mean, she doesn't want to get involve, or maybe she likes BM and doesn't want to speak about her to me, or what? What would you do if you were a mother in law and your daughter in law shared her experiences w/you?
So ss isn't a very social kid. He's perfectly content w/a Harry Potter book, watching MythBusters or playing a video game. He's very advanced in his school-life and gets teasted a lot by other kids. Because of this, he doesn't really get along w/kids his own age, which I understand completely.
As you all know I’ve been reading the “Co-Parenting Survival Guide,” by Thayer & Zimmerman. I read a couple of incredible chapters that I wanted to share with everyone this morning. I got side tracked a bit reading a novel, but am now back to “parenting” books. This might be a bit long, so I apologize for that at the onset.
Just wondering cause it seems like everyone has issues w/their current situation w/BM being in their lives and all. I want to know if you do have a good relationship w/BM, how did you do it and tell me your story.
I am getting to the point that I am so disgusted with myself, this is not the kind of person that I am or want to be. Yet I continue soldiering on, hoping for a change that I know probably will never come. I'm pretty much left with chosing between my dignity, morals and self worth or my marriage.
Okay, so I know that I shouldn't be involved anymore. But, I'm going to put that aside for now and ask for some advice.
For the last few weeks, BB has been denying EX's Thursday visitation because of him being about 10-15 minutes late, in addition to the time she denied it because EX took SS to see the Transformers movie. He has asked repeatedly to have her please meet him halfway which will allow him to get there on time and she refuses. Nowhere in the CO does it state where the pick up/drop off is.
