You all know that SD does not want SO to walk with hwr in Senior night. I don't know where that stands at this point. But SO gets a text from BM about the senior cheerleaders having a dinner for them and the parents before the game. I have been told by SO I have to go with him. I told him no. He of course isn't taking no for an answer and has ordered the tickets. He said I have to do this for him and SD. What type of abuse is this that he isn't respecting me.
What I thought in my head was "I would rather stay home and pull my nails off of their nail beds one by one" but what I replied instead was, "I think I'm going to hang back but you two go enjoy it!"
Thoughts, emotions and prayers appreciated as I navigate this week.
Morning Mia, I just started listening to "The Power of Now" by Eckhart Tolle on Audible. I love it and I get it!
Hello! I'm grateful to be a part of the StepTalk community. I have been a dedicated stepmom for ten years. When I married my husband, who is 13 years my senior, he had recently gone through a divorce after 25 years of marriage and had three children with his previous wife. I entered the picture as a single-mom with a young son, and my husband adopted him, making us a united family. I have no family myself, so I was excited to create my own. I naively assumed I would be welcomed with love, support and acceptance by his people.
If you remember my last few blog posts, DH has SS12 for Labor Day Weekend this year. BM and DH communicated about it a few weeks ago and BM made it clear that even though the court order says 3 p.m. pick-up at her house, she was sending SS12 to football practice from 2 p.m. to 3 p.m. since it was "her time." She told DH he was welcome to pick SS up at the football field at 3 p.m. (pulling him out early which was severely frowned upon and would devastate SS) or allow SS to complete the entire practice, picking him up at 4 p.m. DH played the game and agreed to pick up at 4 p.m.
SD told SO that he doesn't have to walk her on the field for senior night. BM and BMs fiancé are doing it. This might be more for bio parents but anyone can chime in. How would you react if you were the parent?
So, it turns out that the "double date" at the bar as one of you steptalkers named it, was actually DH & SD27 and SD's girl friend & the friend's Dad AND SD's friend's Step-Mother was at the bar too! SD's friend is a SD! So let's keep count. Now it is "quality time" with 1. DH 2. SD's friend 3. SD's friend's Dad and 4. SD's friend's SM and last but not least, the Diabla27. It is NOT quality time if Elea joins. LMAO
I think my poor DH may be having a mental breakdown. Yesterday he allowed SD to invite girl friend and girl friend's BF over to our house.
We sadly lost our beautiful little fur princess yesterday. I took her to have her cysts drained again and the vet was unable to get her to wake up. She tried to revive her and she was able to bring her back very briefly, but sadly Princess Popcorn's poor little body just wouldn't allow her to stay. We are devastated, including my husband. The vet did a necropsy and has never seen anything like it. There is still uncertainty of what it was. She did take samples of the liver and the mass. Hopefully we can get answers at some point.
As the title says, I am keeping my fingers crossed that my DH does not start giving money to my SD33. He is concerned that she does not have food in the house. I am not concerned, as SD and her loser husband (LH), who are total layabouts (says hereiam, sitting on the couch, perusing StepTalk), seem to have money for the unecessary things that they want. So, I don't believe that they are going without food.
I recently discovered I can block any phone number I want on my phone. (I'm not too technologically backward. I think its a new service offered by my carrier. I couldn't do it before.) Ha ha.
Once again SDiabla27 decided she wants to decend upon our home and stay for over a week. This girl-woman's MO is to be disrespectful, rude and snotty. When called out (by DH) her go to is "Whhhhhat did I doooooo?" Cue the waterworks and whiny voice. She's always the victim, just like BM.
She's already started up with her bullcrap before she's even arrived. She called DH and told him that on DAY 1 of her arrival she wants to go listen to music at a bar with just DH and one of her girl friends. DH told her that he'd ask me (if I care to join too) and then text her right back.
