Call DH all you want he is not going to help you, only your meds will!

My Skids BM is not all there I think she is bi-polar or something. When the court was determining custody, both her and DH had to take some sort of test and her results came back that she had some type of mental/personality disorder which is part of the reason why DH has custody of the kids I know she has to take medication for this, and I can always tell when she is not taking her medication because she starts flipping out about crazy stuff, and it always comes back to me she will start e-mailing and calling DH non-stop accusing me of crazy stuff.

This is stupid, but it bothers me anyway...

So a few weeks ago, Dad passed away. Mic requested that SS be allowed to go to the viewing. Ms. Perfect actually had a heart and let him go. I'm certainly not used to her doing anything nice or considerate, so I sent a thank you note. It didn't say much, just that we appreciated her letting SS come with us, and that her thoughtfulness concerning the situation would be returned. I sealed it up, stuck a stamp on it and dropped it in the mail.

question: can stepmom take sd on vacation w/o dh?

okay, so if we do go ahead and get sd for our three-week vacation, dh can't go. i'm going with my whole family for a week to the beach, and would love to take sd with me (it was originally planned for dh, sd, and myself to go, but dh got a new job and can't get off). so if we already have her for those weeks, am i allowed to take her on the vacation? what rights do i have? she would have so much fun with her cousins and swimming and playing...i don't know if i should or not.

Weekends, meat cleavers, and frustration

I am really starting to hate weekends. DH and I couldn't do anything on Saturday because we had to babysit. We made plans to go out early on Sunday, but he had misread her schedule. She started work at 10 a.m. so we got to babysit all day. I left the house at 11:00 and told DH that I needed to go anywhere, alone, because I just realized that this would be our lives for the next 13 years at least. He didn't say much.

Did I say the wrong thing?

Over the weekend, SD brought up her birthday, which is coming up in 2 months. I was very proud of her for a) bringing it up with us at all and b) bringing it up so far in advance because up until now the way things have worked is that BM and SD discuss something and BM presents what they decided, thus either running our household from afar or making us out to be the villains when we can't or won't go by what they're demanding of us.

Should fiance' visit children at ex-wife's house?

1wits_end's picture

I feel so upset that he has to go over to his ex-wife's house to visit his 2 children. I have a son and my ex doesn't visit our son at our house. My fiance wouldn't stand for that. His ex doesn't want me around the children unless it's for her benefit, i.e. when she went out of town. I think he should bring the children to our home when he wants to visit with them. I guess I feel threatned by him visiting over there because I know that she is still in love with him...Am I wrong for voicing my opinion about him bringing the children to our home?

my dh has had enough drama...it's just not worth it

lmdavi0's picture

my dh told me yesterday that he's not going to see sd10 anymore. we do have joint custody but every time we see sd, it is DRAMA. whether it's her twisting all of our fun and love into something vindictive and negative to bb or bb turning our wonderful weekend into hell on earth. and after only one year of regular visitation, we are calling it quits. it's not that it's not worth it, but now bb has sd involved. having her call dh names and saying she doesn't want to see him and bb screaming and yelling in front of sd.

Okay, well...I was feeling pretty weird about the whole thing right before we were supposed to meet at the restaurant and almost backed out. I am SO glad that I didn't. I am hesitant about this and saying it out loud just makes me feel like an idiot, but what are the odds that I just found the most incredible person EVER?? Smile
