Do you guys ever write a letter to BM, then not send it? BM often emails me about things that really should be going through BF. Sometimes I will write out a response to her and say everything I want to say, then just delete it or save it in my drafts folder to read over later. I never send these emails because BF and I have agreed that I'm not going to speak to her anymore for the sake of our relationship (and our sanity!). Well, last night I was writing one of these emails with no intention of sending it, and BF walked up to the computer to hug on me. He saw it.
So we send ss packing to return to live with his impossible mother, 38 days later she calls and complains that she is sick of him, and wants dh to find a summer camp she can dump him into.
A week ago, my sil stopped by our business to chat. She is getting married this summer, and it is an out of town wedding. So we have already made the arrangements to go to the wedding. Sil has also arranged for a dinner crusie the evening of her wedding on a lake. She has been asking if we are going on the dinner cruise. Sil and pyscho bm are bff.
BM's attorney called today, Saturday, to tell us that tings have changed. Since BM has no one to adopt SD2.5, DH doesn't have to give up his rights and BM still wants to give up hers b/c she doesn't want to pay child support but until I actually adopt them, she could be held liable. So here is what we plan on doing, I am going to adopt SS's, then we are going to turn right around and go for, at the very least, visitation of SD.
It's been a long time since I have felt the need to vent about anything, but today I am just flat out pissed and need some advice - or at least a sympathetic ear! This morning DH was getting ready to go take his girls to their soccer games and I had wanted to sleep in and do some cleaning, so I didn't plan on going. Well DH was getting dressed and asked me something about his clothes. I answered him and he went to question what I had said and started to say his ex-wife's name!!!
Well it is always something. BF went to pick up son as usual (we get him every weekend) and BM wasn't home. He usually picks him up around 5:30pm, but he started a new job and it puts him there at 6:30pm. So he drove to her mothers house, her truck is there but her mom says that she left with a friend. So we leave go have dinner and drive back out there only to see that her truck is now gone and her mam tells him that she had plans and it isn't his weekend. Ok she wants to play that game....
I have been stepparenting for 10 long tiring years. My step daughter would call me the evil step mother. And of late so would my step son. You see I have been the parent. Their BM has checked in and checked out..mostly out for the last ten years. I think during the last ten years she may have spent a total of 2 weeks with her children. And 9 days of that was this last summer. I have watched this mother abandon her children, not once but over and over again. I watch her tell them how rotten we are the BD and I. We have lied to them. But where has she been.
I thank you ladies and Steve. In return, I shall leave this great line from one of my favorite shows. Hope everyone has a drama free weekend.
Soap. Jessica is explaining life to her young son Billy.
"You see Billy, life gives you beans. There are good beans and bad beans... why, if Juan Valdez had our beans, he would have shot his donkey and burned down the mountain."
We are married and back from holidays...back to work and everything aaugh! Oh well the real world was waiting for us...
I noticed that I let the situation with SD slip because we were happy and wanted it to be about us for awhile....well thats over. She is back to her snotty, disrespectful self and I told my DH that its over. I cracked on her and him and told them I was so sick of it. I don't allow my children to act like that and she isn't going to either.
He doesn't seem to be agreeing with me...I told him "same rules" or we would have to make other arrangements.
Darkness is out of her mind and I'm offically done. Like we didn't have enough drama 2 weeks ago with the letter I wrote and the aftermath. Last night was the topper. You're not going to believe this.
Yesterday, DK e-mails BF's sister to complain. Sis blasted her. Dk calls here last night on a complete tiraid. It began with 'How often do you talk to your sister & Mother. (like it's any of her F$#king business). Than she starts going off about the child support. They srceamed over that for awhile. Next up was that we are both Alcoholics and need God & help.
SD is still helping around the house and even politely asked me if I would mind picking up her son from daycare tomorrow and watching him for about 2 hours while she and her dad are out. When I said "Yes, because you have been helping out around here," she said "Well, I thought it was about time for me to do my share."
