In the last installment of SD14 is PAS'd out, she had made some vague statements to her counselor about wanting to move to Alaska while Crazy was on vacation, so DH had to go pick her up and take her for a night. That was a few weeks ago and she hasn't been here since, but of course there have still been boatloads of drama.
I’m at a complete and total loss, and truly just seeking advice, because I have no idea what to do. Some background information is that we have SS14, SD12, and SS5 every other week. SS14 has always had a temper and fighting troubles. BM has always bailed him out of everything. BM isn’t the best figure and neither is any of her family. In the six years that I’ve been with my husband, she’s probably had five separate occasions of unemployment, and from memory, eight different jobs (I know there are more, but I just don’t remember all of them).
How many Step moms or former step moms are introverts?
Part of the reason I left the home I shared with my ex (aka Disneyland Dad of the Year) was that his lazy layaway plan pr0stitute and feral spawns disturbed my peace in my home on a regular basis. When I said something I got dismissed.
My pocket manager (my phone) has stopped talking to me. I set an alarm reminder for something today and I did not receive the expected confirmation from Siri.
I commented to DH that Siri must be tired or upset with me. DH says, "Or she's gotten instructions from SD."
Laughter all around.
SS called yesterday, finally. I didn't stick around to hear the whole convo, but what I did hear was all about SS, his latest car repair, and the great job he's sure he's on the verge of getting. I could write the script.
First off, thanks VERY much for the prayers, good vibes, and well wishes. It means the world to me.
DH's Mom (My MIL) is toxic. She reminds us exactly of BM. DH doesn't have a relationship with her outside of seeing her at extended family functions and a text on birthdays/Christmas. MIL constantly blames me for this, instead of acknowledging how her own behavior led to this type of relationship.
We were doing our quarterly financial discussion yesterday. I reminded DH86 that when he passes, I will no longer be able to subsidize SD62's shelter expense since it's coming from his Social Security which will stop. I often tell him this, hoping he will discuss with her so she can begin to plan. He doesn't usually respond.
Referencing something my Dad just texted me. Hes a comedian.
So, as of Tuesday when the incident happened, much has gone through my head. Reading the comments "Divorce the abusing a$$hole" seems to be the consensus and where things are headed. A natural conclusion.
But I need to share something with you all, you who have joined me on this journey.
So I am home working , yup gotta work on Good Friday. All the kids are home ( driving me nuts) and DD 1 is sick with hand/foot mouth disease so she is misresable . The baby is been screaming at night for about 3 night ( most likely due the her mouth hurting ) she is extremely clinging and on top of that we are trying to keep the other kiddos away so they don't catch it . We think the baby caught it from another baby she was around last weekend because our daughter doesn't go to daycare and she was fine before and got sick about a few days after being around this other baby.
It's an SS13 week -- more than half over, thank goodness. He's never been the most pleasant kid, but now we have teen attitude. He ignores my existence, so none of it is aimed at me, but it drives DH crazy.
Anyway, SS has gotten into a pattern of making himself scrambled eggs every morning before catching the bus. Fine. Good that he's learned to make something for himself.
