I am SO glad that I found this site and I really can't wait to get to know all of you.

I have felt like such a horrible person. I cry frequently and really have thought about ending my relationship.

I have a DS8 and my son is a generally good kid. He can be a spoiled brat at times, but that's it. He is very well behaved. He isn't loud and obnoxious. I have worked hard, as a single parent, to make sure he is respectful and that he listens to adults. He wouldn't dare curse and when he is told to do something, he does it. I am USED to my son and in my head, his behavior is normal for children.

My SO and I have been together a few months (6 months). I was told that I probably couldn't have more kids so imagine my surprise when we found out we were pregnant. That was fine since we are such a great match and even though it we were only together a short period of time, we knew we wanted to make a future together. He treats my son as his own and I love that about him. He moved in with us and we were all over the moon about it.

I knew my SO had a son that lived with him. The BM is a viciously ghetto drug head. Six kids, six different dads living off of the government. Stupidly, my SO never did a custody arrangement...but he had his son and took great care of him. One day, the BM decided she wanted her son back. She picked him up from school one day and my SO didnt see his son again for months. I felt horrible about it. He went and got an attorney and planned on filing for custody. My mother is an attorney. I know cases like this can take a while. IF he got custody (and dad's getting in custody in Texas is rare), we understood that his son would live with us. We both figured this would be MONTHS down the road.

A week ago, SO got a call from CPS. He could come get his son because CPS learned that there were drugs in the house among other things.

So just that fast - his 5yo now lives with us until this investigation is over. This is NOT a child like my son. He is loud, rough with my son's things and just clearly lives by a different set of rules. He has been caught cursing several times and using language that isn't vulgar, but not what my son is used to hearing. I am miserable. I know this is just a child but this has been awful. And I feel even MORE awful because this is a wonderful time for my SO. My son is THRILLED and I just feel as if I am held hostage in my own home. I know these are horrible feelings to have and I am just grateful that there is a site I can come to and express myself. Thank GOD for this site.
