Hello - I am happy that this site exists as I need some advice. I am seriously dating a man with an angry ex wife. They are both angry and do not communicate. She walked out on him and took the daughter. She left the son. He is 47, she 38. They have been divorced for 2 years. He has custody of the son (9) and she custody of the daughter (5). There are lots of sports the kids are involved and they see each other regularly. I live 3 hours away and visit on the weekends. There is always drama, eventhough this is the most laid-back guy.
It has been quite some time since I have been on this site. I guess when things seem quiet I just go on my merry way.
A bit of background.....I had a verbal argument with my husband ex last year...said some mean things....just had a miscarriage and they entered my home saying it was inappropriate for SD to refer to me as Stepmom....I lost it on her mom and her. Felt terrible for my actions...did counselling and then months later sent a sincere apology note.....to this day it has not be acknowledged. I needed to let go of my own guilt and get back to living my life.
My DH and I have been married 5 1/2 yrs. Things started out OK, but have really deteriorated in the last 3 yrs or so. The situation has evolved so that when his 2 kids are with us, I am confined to my bedroom. I do not eat or spend any time with the family unit (and I think my insecure husband likes it that way). The brats wont even say hello to me when I come home from work. They are allowed to do whatever they want whenever they want. They dominate the entire house and telephone.
I'm new to this forum and so very glad I found it.
Hi!! It has been a couple of days full of interesting stuff to share. First off, BM called DH last week to inform him that she has enrolled SD7 in a travel soccer team. Both SD's play Spring & Fall soccer, they are in dance and gymnastics and participate in several other things throughout the year. You would think that would be enough. DH decided that he would not have anything to do with this travel team - if any games fell on our weekends, then BM would have to come pick her up and take her herself.
This is a slightly different version of something I have read in the
past. A good reminder and worth the read though!
This is for the mothers who have sat up all night with sick toddlers in
their arms, wiping up barf laced with Oscar Mayer wieners and cherry
Kool-Aid saying, "It's alright honey, Mom my's here."
Who have sat in rocking chairs for hours on end soothing crying babies
who can't be comforted.
Ok, I found out why DH is so reluctant to do anything with SD....BM. I am being told because I recently tried to get her to stop sassing, not to slam doors, etc that she does not have to "listen to me" I guess BM went off on my DH. Her BF has been in SD life for 5 years and she was told at a young age that he is not allowed to tell her what to do...is that normal? Therefore, she is allowed to treat him however she wants and he is not allowed to tell her to behave????? And that is what she expects me to do?
Hi this this is my first posting and any feed back would be greatly appreciated. I have been married now for 6 years (my first marriage) and I have 4 SS. 2 live with us and 2 are out of the house. My problem is: The last weekend of March was our weekend with the 12 yearold SS, all was going well when we received a call from the oldest SS saying that the BM told him to call and tell us that we HAD BETTER find somewhere for the 12 to go the following week due to it being springbreak!!!!
ok what is wrong with this picture, can anyone shed some light?
For reasons that are way beyond my comprehension, Dh insisted that this year we had no choice but to go out to dinner with his exwife and his children to celebrate ss 16th birthday. I resisted this idea because in my heart we are not one big family…we are two now. I agreed thinking the exwifes parents would be there, the aunts, etc and it was a “family” celebration sort of get together but it turned out to be only me and |Dh’s old pre-divorce family.
