So we were able to get all three kids off with their other bio parents for the weekend and BF and I decided to take a weekend trip out of town. We went about 3 hours away to visit a city BF had never been and one I hadn't been to in years. Anyway, alls well in the car on the way. We get to the hotel check in, go in the room, take a shower...getting ready for bed.
my stepson made me cry the other day when i went to pick him up from school. i was looking forward to seeing him b/c my husband and i have been working so much lately, we have only been able to see him one day each week, when we normally have two or three. we have really missed him, and he called us the night before crying and freaking out. he wanted us to come pick him up that night, but his dad had to be at work, and i had to be in class, and he had to be at school very early the next day.
Last week BF asked BM to be able to see his son Saturday from 12-5. She said yes and he emailed back saying that he would pick him up at Shop N Save (the usual drop off /pick up point) at 12:00. She said NO you have to come to her house. He said NO I will pick him up at the usual place. She said she had placed a call to her attorney and would advise him. The next thing you know BF is getting a call from his attorney saying he needs to negotiate a pick up point/drop off point for Saturday. At $280 an hour for the attorney you can imagine what this would cost.
Well gang here is how the last few days have been....Thursdays visit to Sylvan was a breeze the ex didn't show up so of course the little one had no problems or fits(imagine that since according to him the little one has those fits when he is there or not) Friday went smooth the ex picked the boys up from the sitter after school so I didn't have to deal with him (thank goodness) Sat was the youth state wrestling tournament for my 10 yr old and the ex took him. My finace' (I love that word) and I showed up befor wrestling began.
hi there everyone and i`m so glad i`m here so that i can get some advice from you on how to deal with my stepfamily. you see, my mum got married to my late aunts husband in 2001 and we lived really happily till 2003 when his sister came and overturned everything in our lives and took him and my 4 year old stepbrother and 5 year old stepsister and dragged them to canada. by the way we were living in south africa and we are of indian background.
fast forward to 2007.
Visitation was yesterday for the first time in three weeks and BM went WAAAY too far. She sent me 25 emails all ranging from "SS hates you and doesn't want to be around you", "If you are around my son at all today I will get a restraining order on you", "You have a phone at home so you better learn to use it", "SS will NOT be going out of town", to "Do you like your hair short?" She sent BF 8 or so emails, but the worst of them came at night after SS was dropped back off.
Well...so much for my post on Friday. It was my thought that it would take some pushing, but that visitation would eventually go down this weekend, as per the agreement between Mic and Ms. Perfect. No such luck. And apparently she was totally within her rights to do so. For all legal purposes, regardless of the verbal agreement in front of witnesses, he forfeited the visitation last weekend, even if it was all based on a lie.
I have tried really really hard not to moan and b*tch too much in my time here, but tonight I REALLY need someone to either talk me down or build me up, I don't care which. I'll listen either way.
I'm sure you all know there's always a constant stream of events and actions that happen in our lives that just really tick off. From bad hygiene to choices in hair or makeup, but when you add those things on top of something that hits you harder, you just break. And that's where I am now. Geez, now where to start....
At the ripe old age of 42. I'm offically engage for the very first time.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I've been wearing a fake ring since the day his divorce was finalized in September. Today he picked out a simple yet beauiful ring. And I'm wearing it!!!!!!!
I can't stop looking at it!!!! I feel like a reject.
Talk about doing things ass backwards, I got the wedding dress back in November. But Today, I got a ring.
Happy plane soaring high !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Last week SS was put on ADD meds, great! We've gone through a ton to help him out at school and such (we make up for what he doesn't do at his mother's house on our week=very stressful). So, Friday they get the prescription. She (bm) had the kids last week. She, bm, didn't call at all after the appointment (we picked them up this afternoon) which is unusual for her because there is usually some drama that goes with getting the boys for the week (she couldn't possibly make this easy on us).
