married for 10 years to a wonderful man with a spoiled only daughter and grand daughter. She has a mentally unstable mom,so Dad feels guilty about the divorce 12 years ago and constantly tries to make up for it. The stepdaughter is 18--going on 12. She is babied and enabled. We are spending 20,ooo per year her first year in college. She comes home every weekend (we go get her and take her back) She is very immature and dates a boy in high school-3 years younger.
so here is my story... i remarried a guy, with some reservation who has a 8 year old son and a very involved BM. BM lives 2 blocks away in a house they picked out while going through divorce so son can be close to both parents. My husband picks up son everyday from school and BM picks son up at our home after she gets off of work. So i get the irritation of seeing her everyday or I have to arrange to not be in my own home.
I just found this site today and am in desperate need of people that can relate to the difficulties with stepparenting. Can anyone give me some suggestions on this site and how to navigate through it to get some peer help?
I've been worried and quite concerned about her lately. Her most recent post was on 3/23/2007 on her blog entry entitled “All hell is gonna break loose!!." Her last blog entry was very depressing and somewhat concerning.
Just wondered if anyone had heard from her since then.

Let's start this incredibly depressing entry on a lighter note, because by the end of this I will be ready to pull my own hair out. We received word yesterday that the modified parenting plan had been signed by a judge and is now in effect. Woohoo! Now, instead of two 8-hour visits per month, BF gets the standard EOW visitation plan. Hooray! We were so excited and happy about this news. In the old parenting plan, BF was to get SS over the weekend for Easter. Now that the new plan is in place, it was switched to Thursday and Friday.
I love it. BF read the letters I wrote. Basically, that nothing has changed in the past year. DK (Darkness) manipulates him and the girls and he keeps taking it. He COMPLETELY agreed with me!
He told me he wished I did send the one letter to her. EXCUSE ME, Did I just get the green light.
I polish the letter, made sure no heavy accustations are in there. The letter's tone was extremely firm and sighting both their problems. (It was a good old fashion ass reeming)
my step son started calling me mommy not too long ago. his reasoning was you take care of me and make sure that i am happy and that makes you my mommy. i didnt think it would matter. we had a discussion where i told him that he could call me whatever he was most comfortable with. out of the blue unaided he started calling me mommy. and you know what? it made my heart swell. it felt really good. i wouldnt have cared what he called me but i am glad he chopse that.
Well, so much for DH and I being on the same page.
He totally violated our agreement yesterday, deliberately withheld information about BM calling him on his cell, even though she also left a message on the home phone on the same topic and I got the message and I asked him "if he knew anything about the call" and he chose to interpret that as "if he knew anything" about the subject, rather than the call.
I'm just sitting here wondering how many of these husbands/biological fathers know we do this. Would it be beneficial to let them see our true view of the situations we've gotten ourselves into?
omg, what next, so...after sunday when the witch came to pick up the kids, and made such a scene pounding the door and screaming for a replacement cheque because the mail man didnt bring hers fast enough.....(altho it was mailed a day late) another tramatizing event for the kids and i helped.
