I really hope that bio-mom is lurking on this site. Maybe she will see herself and think what a nut case, then take a closer look and see herself and see that she reeps what she has sown. And then takes action to improve herself.
The happy ending of course is that she can start to heal so that dh's and mine family can move on and try to raise 5 well adjusted kids and offer them an example of what is a healthy relationship.
Well we are in quite the mess we went to our lawyers last night and it was a real jaw dropper.First let me explain things my husband worked last year for a company and this year he started on his own so they are basing his child support payments on last years income which this year has been harder because he is just starting off anyways the child support they are asking for we just cant afford it and they are not taking into account that we have bills a loan and a dependent my son still living in our house so our options are we either pay this amount they are wanting and leave us with just
To make a very long drawn out (I'm sure BORING to everyone else) story short: BM sent a snotty e-mail, I snapped back, she snapped back, I said DONE! Literally, just wrote back, 'I'm done, deal with [BF] from now on, I've forwarded him the
I am having a bit of a "pity party" for myself today I guess. I just had a bit of a mental break down! After all of my strong talk about being ready to get the show on the road, now that I know when I start chemo, I am scared to death. This morning has just been so overwhelming for me I guess. I went for physical therapy today and my arms feel like noodles. I have to go back 4 more times for sure. When I got home, I got the call from my oncologist telling me I start chemo on Monday. I was supposed to return to work on Monday but looks like that won't be the case now.
I am renewing a relationship with my kids' father after his 5 year marriage,the divorce is not yet final. He has been staying with us since his seperation began. His mom absolutely loves his soon to be ex and their children. Me on the other hand she's never been to fond of during the 12 years I've known her. She treats my kids badly and has even gone as far as to lie on them, she doesn't acknowledge any of their birthdays, she doesn't buy any Christmas gifts,and she doesn't inquire about their schooling or any other aspect of their lives. She behaves as if they don't exist.
Last night we went to pick my stepson up for our regular Tuesday visit. He came kicking & screaming and yelling that he hates coming to our house and wants him mom. I have no idea why he would act this way. At that point I wanted to turn the car around and leave him at his grandma's house. We meet at a parking lot directly in front of his grandma's house (her mom) and she walks him across the street to us. He was hitting her and crying and making a huge scene. This really hurt our feelings.
every adult should read, because children are watching you and doing as you do, not as you say.
When you thought I wasn't looking, I saw you hang my first painting on the refrigerator and I immediately wanted to paint another one. When you thought I wasn't looking I saw you feed a stray cat, and I learned that it was good to be kind to animals.
Had an interesting exchange with my son last night regarding Dad's GF...
I think he's being coached to keep things from me...
He was adding contacts to his e-mail and he was on the phone getting his Dad's & Gf's and we were giving him ours etc.. He says "I put 'GF' in under family" then he gets a strange look on his face....like he shouldn't have said that! I say "Ya, that's where she belongs...she's like your step-mom."
I live in New York. It's pretty nice here for a November day, but there's something really WRONG about sending my SD to school in her choice of sandals or flip-flops because her parents can't get their acts together.
It's been a while since I've posted here because I've been trying really hard to not let things get to me and be as supportive a family member as I can be...but last night was too much for me to handle on my own. I need some advise please!
