My partner has three adult daughters, all in their 30's. Long, long, long story short, he and I have been together for 12 years, their mother passed away a year before he started dating me, and the daughters have completely refused to accepted our union. I am quite a bit younger than him, but have been nothing but a committed partner to him, and fully intend to stay with him for life. There is the eldest daughter, and two younger twins.

DH has asked BM many times for months if she had plans to have SS8 over the summer (she lives across the country, moved even further away than she was before 2 weeks ago). BM claimed she wasn't sure if she would have him because she was moving, then it was because they were renovating a part of the house and it wouldn't be "fun" for him, and then she blamed the cost of travel of the trial MIL initiated on DH if BM had to appear in our state.

We just recieved word that SD26 is staying nearby our city tonight. She's driving here from BM's neighboring state. SD will be housesitting in a neighboring town until sometime in July.

She tends to act coy, smugly withholding her itinerary from DH. I am not sure what makes her think that we care about her schedule? Who cares, but it does show what a punishing b*tch she is to DH. BM was the same and taught her to be like this. 

SS13 finally left on Monday to return back to BMLand after 4 weeks straight of visitation. As previously posted, SS escalated things, texting BM and GF, talking trash about me and DD3. He then texted them again a few days later, claiming that in that moment, I kept looking over his shoulder to try to see his phone password and attempt to read his messages, despite the fact that I was in a work Teams meeting in another room for the afternoon.

Jumping off of Yesterdays' post about her DH continuing to talk about the skid college tuition/plans at home when Yesterdays and her DH have already discussed the situation several times. I think there is a point when we stop responding. Especially if our prior responses are not fully "heard" and we are getting frustrated. 

I doubt there is anyone left here that would remember me, but I wanted to come and try and give you all some hope.  

Years ago when I first joined STalk, I wasn't sure if DH and I were going to make it through the constant Skid/BM drama. Trust me it wasn't easy, but im here to say now that skids are adults, life is so much better!  

Backstory: SD15 lives with us the majority of the time. Technically it's 50/50, but BM moved to a different town in 2020 & DH never got the CO updated. SD attended the high school in our neighborhood and would see BM on the weekends only (and sometimes not even every weekend). No child support on either side. Something else DH never got updated. 

Fast forward: DH has been having his fair share of issues with SD over the last couple of years, but REALLY ramped up recently. Accusing me of stealing, calling DH a deadbeat, taking alcohol, sneaking out at night, etc. 

My son and his wife and middle schooler are visiting with us for two weeks.  I will admit it is chaotic at times because my youngest daughter and her husband are also here.  My DH has been doing nothing but complaining in my ear.  If I had a moment to myself I would have a good cry.  I told him that my grandson is a kid and doing "kid" stuff.  Example he filled the cup holder of the folding chair with pebbles, DH folded the chair and put it in the van and the pebbles went everywhere.  For me, no big deal but a very big deal for DH.  Then I asked GS to get the dive rings out of the pool.

Last year, out-of-the-blue, Step-diablas (26&28) started to "drop in" for extended-stay visits with DH and I. These visits lasted anywhere from 1-3 weeks at a time. They came and went, on and off, for nearly a year. Upon her 1st arrival, YSD made a passive aggressive, snotty demand to DH that I should prepare her special meals.
