I'm going to wait a week at least before talking to my daughters about the whole car thing. I want to make sure I'm saying the right things and things that are helpful and I want to think about it beforehand 

I think that I just want to let them know that they're getting older and deserve more freedom especially now that they have their license.. As to what choices they can make... As far as coming and going. If they want to stay the odd night here or there just text. And to have a discussion with their dad if needed etc. And just tell them they can use my car mostly as their own

Friday at last. This is a short one.

Eff off to:

• Cancer. Four days ago, I attended the funeral of a dear friend's mother, who passed away from lung cancer. Non-smoker. This coming Monday, I will once again don funeral attire to attend the funeral of a life-long friend's mother, who passed from brain cancer. A cousin's husband passed last week from - can you believe it - cancer. They were traveling at the time so the funeral will be weeks away. CANCER SUCKS.

Wishing you a stress-free, healthy, and enjoyable weekend.  

We have my step children 75% of the time.  We were already living 8 hrs apart from bio mom.  July 2023 bi mom decided to take a new job in another state that is an additional 3 hours away.  Bi mom served my DH modification petition.  She is requesting that child exchange be switched to halfway to her new home.  Also to lower child support since she is no longer working her second job. The child support form she filled is missing the health insurance paid by my DH.  Its included in the current child support.   6+ months went on and she didnt do anything with the case.

After being in therapy for two or three years, I feel I've come a long way and healed a lot of things but there's one pervasive pattern that I can't seem to shake. It involves SD34. A few years ago I sabotaged my figure and athletic endeavors, quit everything, got fat and I'm struggling like crazy to get started again.

When DW is getting ready to visit her family she starts using voice inflections, speech paterns, and facial expressions that are a family thing.  Beyond the IL clan family tone, inflections, wording, etc... are  the additional and amplified version mY SIL uses.  DW adopts a few things that are very similar to what my thief assed POS lying weasle of an SIL does though without the whiney "I'm spe.....cial" toddler thing that the POS SIL does.

DH and I went to our first birthing class last night and it was good, but can't help feeling like we are taking advantage. My OB and the hospital I am going to be giving birth at is 35-40 minutes one way from our house. There isn't a closer OB within my insurance, but there are tons 35-50 minutes from our house. I am actually seeing an OB and a clinic that is REALLY hard to get in, but lucked out in the timing so I am able to see one of the best in the area. There is a hospital 15 minutes from my house, is actually the hospital I went to with my hospital visit in December 2023. 

Im also thinking on my week with the kids. Usually my ex provides some drives. I don't want to be dependant on him considering his controlling tendencies so I am considering just telling him that I will drive my son back and forth from school to my house every day. Usually I helped on his weeks and he helped on mine.

So it became very apparent last night that my ex is not allowing the kids to drive his new beater car over and that he is forcing the kids to not come over Tuesdays on his week like they had been. (last post). Because all of the sudden he allowed my daughter to use this car on the Tues only so she could drive back to his house after and not stay over

I read some old texts. Winterglow was 100 percent right. The text from him said if I didn't want to split on a car to use between our houses he would buy them a car for use at his place only....... So there you have it 

The kids have not been allowed to drive the car (that was supposed to help and save drives) over to my house. It's gone so far that they have not been allowed to drive this car even to school and back from his house on his week. He would drive them to the mall and make them take a city bus and then pick them up. I guess so they couldnt come here or do anything else after school it seems
