I am a mother of two boys (13 and 10) Recently married, but together for 3 years, my husband doesn't seem to see what his daughter is doing by manipulating him and his ex wife. He can't stand his ex, of course so anything his daughter says negative about her mom, he's ok with. I'm not ok with that. I have 2 boys who also have a father in their life and would not want them to speak or treat me the way she does her mother while with us. The thing about it is that I know she is doing the same thing to him/us when she is at her biomom's house.
Lots of personal stuff has been going on, and I've only been on long enough to review a few posts here and there. I feel a bit out of the loop, both here and towards life in general.
Well we heard from BM's lawyer and BM wants to give up ALL parental rights of the SS's.....With the stipulation that I will adopt them. Yeah, weird huh? This comming from a woman who would see her own kids in hell before she let me have anything to do with them. hey have lived with us for the past 2 years exclusively and have seen BM for almost 1 year so...We talked to the SS's b/c we have to make a decision in 2 days time. They are so excited. DH and I think that a)she wants me to adopt them so that she does not have to pay child support b/c in our state at least.
I have always suspected that DH did not feel connected to me in the way he did to BB because we never had a child together. Throughout our marriage, problematic as it was, I wanted to have that child but I convinced myself I wanted it for the wrong reasons.
Since I've made the choice to end the marriage, I have felt content and positive about the future. Any jealousy or resentment I had toward BB and SS faded significantly, and for the past 2 months or so I have really begun to move on emotionally from DH.
Since ex-wife and I had our working out conversations and agreement, everything is going great. I feel that since I can communicate with her one on one about ss.... things are coming out better. We are all nicer to each other and respect our expectations. This new relationship will definately make ss very happy...to finally see both sides of his family happy and getting along. I hope this luck can rub off on some of us on this site.
I would love to do this. I have a problem, though, how do you stop parenting you SK's when you DH is gone for a week or longer at a time?
My situation isn't dire but I love reading everyone's posts and thought I would introduce myself and give a little info. I'm 25, married for the first time to a great man. We have been together for 5 years and married for three. He has a daughter-11 from a high school girlfriend and we are expecting our first child in July. I get along pretty well with SD and it actually seems lately that she talks to me more than she does her dad but I think that is just the age. She wants to tell me about who she likes and who she doesn't like and that stuff.
I have never had a blog before, but I decided to try one here simply because you seem like a group of people who can truly understand my anger and frustration. I also hope that I can get some advice on how to deal with the mess I am in before I go off the deep end.
A few months ago, I was ready to give up. I was ready to walk out. SS was out of control. SS is still out of control, but at least now DH and I can talk about it. Before, DH was defensive. He didn't appreciate me talking badly about SS. In fact, he got downright pissed that I say a bad word about the little sh**. DH didn't want to admit how bad things have gotten.
