Importance of DH Reaction

Gwen's picture

Awhile back there was a post about a DH paying for BM's meal and I can't find it again, but that and other posts have me thinking about the following: we all have different boundaries and what is "minor" to some may be "major" to others depending on a whole host of other circumstances. But whether an incident or issue is major or minor, for my part the single biggest factor in whether the thing continues to bug me is my DH's reaction.

BM flipped in front of the therapists at the sound of my name

BM was at the top of her game last night at the Family Based Therapy appointment at her apartment with my fiance and SD. She had been playing the victim fast and furious with them for weeks and apparently they bought into it because my fiance said they backed her up left and right. She attacked him for a good hour, calling him an irresponsible father and a bully, saying he "abused her, her father, and her extended family for years" but wouldn't elaborate on what the hell that meant because it's a big fat lie.

I just don't get it

Is there anyone else out there, that after 3 years of being a bonus mother, you still have not met the biomom? I just don't get it. If they were my kids, even if I wanted to scratch her eyes out, I would still want to sit and chat with the person who will have a hand in my children's upbringing. The girls are 6 & 8 now and I have been with them since they were 3 & 5. Every time she calls the house, she treats me like a receptionist - no hello, not even a "can I speak to...please". All she says is a name.

So much for less-worse. I had been looking forward to Mardi Gras, but now it just seems like any other day. Poor Mic spent all last night trying to talk to SS on the phone, from about 5:00 to after SS's bedtime. Of course, no one ever answered, no call ever returned. Funny thing was, he got a text message from her phone number this morning. He called back, trying to find out what was wrong with SS (as SS being allowed to call at all is usually an emergency, let alone when he should be in school). BM answered and said that SS was in school, that he didn't send the message.

Problems in our house.

Struggling Step Mom's picture

I was reading everyone elses problems and I came across Realists issues with her step daughter. I tell you I can relate. I try so hard not to hate my 12 year old SD but she is so nasty. She leaves the room when i come in it and will only speak directly to her Daddy. She totally runs the show and has been allowed to make adult decisions since she turned 12. What the hell? It is like they have "secret" stuff. She will call and call and he must answer or she gets huffy. But he will sit in his truck in the yard and talk to her on the cell phone or he will talk to her at work??

Daddys Little Girl

Hello everyone I have a had a horrible weekend and it was so ridiculous. Please tell me your opinion on this. Friday my boyfriend realized he forgot his moms bday (it was 2 weeks ago). He panicks, tells me, and now I'm freaked becuase I had no idea it was her bithday either and i feel terrible that nothing was done for her. So we agree to have them come up and make them dinner, we got her flowers and I spent 2 hours making a bday cake for her. His mom was cool about him forgetting cuz shes alot older and prefers to not talk about her age, etc.
