I need some advice. And I need a place where I can be honest because I don’t have that anywhere else. I’ve read a lot of what you’ve all written and I feel like I know and trust you all already.
I’m only 26 and I’m living with the most amazing man on Earth. He is very recently divorced and has joint custody of two bright and happy kids who are 3 and 6. I adore them. All three. But you all see this coming – the Ex is not happy about me in the picture.
I am finding a lot of dead ends trying to get help to pursue the charges against my SD because she is a minor and the fact that it is out of state. It is pretty annoying and frustrating that she is almost untouchable. But I am going to try and pull off a bluff and see if I can get an attorney to write a strong arm letter to fool biomom into as much compliance as possible. Otherwise, I'd have to wait until SD reaches 18 (February) to hit her with criminal/civil charges and even then, you can't make the criminal charges stick because of the cybercrimes and 4th amendment laws.
Okay so the calm before the storm, was I ever right. So the deal, we didn't get the kids on Thursday like we were supposed to, she finally did call my husband on Sunday and said that the kids didn't want to see us. Then she proceeded to make the claim that my husband beats his son, let me tell you, he has rcvd 2 spankings within a 3 year time period, how is that beating. Next we find out that Thursday he had a breakdown and they took him to the Dr b/c he wouldn't stop crying so the DR perscribes him (an 11 yr old) PROZAC...... HELP ME
Well, as per Yogi Berra, it's ain't over, till it's over. SD's apology on the internet post, was a big joke. She just directed it to society, that her comment was misconstrued. My husband had a fit when he came home and read it. He contacted biomom and they had a clashing battle on the phone Friday afternoon. It didn't resolve anything. I have to go take all the information to our local police department on Monday to file official criminal charges and then also consult with an attorney about civil charges for defamation of character.
So is it Sunday now and we have called a lot to try to get a hold of the kids, still haven't heard form them. I know that they are okay b/c sd called my sister in law to see if he could sleep over on Friday she told him her son was sleeping over my house but he never called us. He had a game yesterday and didn't call us, so we didn't go. I am really not sure what is going on. I told my husband that he better get a hold of her and let her have it. I know that they haven't been with her all weekend, which is crap. She shipped them off to her parent’s house since Thursday.
Hi everyone! I don't know if I am going crazy but since I found this site and have been letting out my feelings things with the kids seem to be getting a lot better! Maybe I just feel better knowing that I am not alone - nor am I crazy for feeling the way I do. My 12yr old SS made me a pancake for dessert last night! And yes, the smoke alarm went off a few times and the pancake was a little on the charcoal side - but it was such a lovely gesture, I enjoyed every mouthful!
This is silly but I bought some books about stepparenting and for some strange reason, I hide them so my husband doesn't see me reading it or that I have it. Is anyone else doing the same? I don't know why I do that. Just wondering if anyone else does this?
She runs luke warm & cold with me! Since they were older when I came into the picture, I have always kind-of left the ball in both SD's courts as far as what kind of relationship they were comfortable having with me. I don't throw myself at them...lets go here..let's do this..call them to chat..push a relationship..or anything but I have made many, many gestures towards them over the last 5 years or so....!
Something bothered me the other night when my new husband and I were looking at our wedding pics online. We were snuggled up on the couch, looking at the photos together and having a great time remembering our big day last month. Then he came across the ones with his little boy in them and became like a man possessed, trying to find ALL of the ones with SS in them. He was happy looking at our pictures, but 10 times happier seeing the ones of SS. I felt kinda shoved aside. How could I say anything without seeming jealous of a child?!
Well, in a surprising turn, my husband called biomom this morning after I called him at work and read him the blog from SD's site. He went out to his truck and called me back to call biomom and threatened her with lawsuit in regards to harassment and namecalling on SD's blogsite. She immediately buckled and will do anything to clear up the matter. SD was forced to apologize and is shutting down xanga site, and retracted entry on www.myspace.com.
