Worried about SS15

Found out from MIL that BM got married this past weekend and is 4 months pregnant! I thought our lives would start getting better!

Today I find out (from BM's blog) that she has taken SS15 to Mayo Clinic. Since nobody bothered to inform my DH, I was the one who had to tell him. Sad

I am hoping it is nothing serious but I have no idea. They don't send people that far away for nothing.

I also know that BM is a hypochondriac herself and likes to take the kids in so she can use sick days to get out of work. She has run up big medical bills for SD17 including some not medically necessary like acupressure/ acupuncture, getting titanium eyeglasses the same time she got her disposable contacts, etc.

It's like BM spends her extra time reading the insurance policy to see what ISN'T covered! Earlier this year she had both kids in for CAT scans, which, while covered by insurance, still left a HUGE chunk afterward! When the kids were asked why they had to do that, they both shrugged their shoulders and said they didn't know. SD said that she didn't want to have it but her mom made her.

I know MY DS20 never went to all sorts of dermatologists for HIS acne when he was a teen! And if he wanted contacts AND glasses, he'd had to have glasses for a year until insurance would PAY for the contacts! We have records of more than $2500 in medical bills for SD's acne issues. Worst part is she still has acne! How about some Stridex for like $5 a month??!?

The CO states that BM is to have no contact with us unless it is an emergency to do with the kids or a change in visitation. It also says that each parent is to be informed by the other parent of any medical issues.

Why will she break the CO by calling and screaming at DH because SD got pregnant (like HE did it or something!!) but WON'T call - or even text - and tell him that his only son is going 6 hours away for medical tests?!?

[By the way, we know that SD did NOT get pregnant under our watch because we had heard she was sneaking out at night so DH and I took turns with where we slept so we were by the only two doors to our house!]

It seems like the only way BM has left to "get back at" us is to run up huge medical bills for us to pay. SD had a baby and is now on medicaid so DH doesn't pay her medical bills anymore. SS is in baseball, wrestling and weight lifting and has never complained about any medical issue when over for visitation. But NOW he has serious medical issue(s)???

Dealing with this psycho BM has left me not knowing if she is just piling more bills on us while she still has time or if we truly have something to be worried about with SS. What do you think??

Oh, BTW, more background info: BM had to take SD into the emergency room at 2 a.m. and she ended up having to have an emergency C-section at 9 a.m. BM didn't call my DH to tell him until 8:30am and BM KNOWS that he works an hour out of town!! Luckily everything went fine for SD and baby because my DH was unable to get to the hospital until it was almost over!

Sorry - needed to VENT! Don't know whether to be worried or mad...

Wow...lots going on! I would advise you and DH to see legal advice on the medical bills. We encountered the same thing with BM of SD15. At the time, BM had medical, dental and vision; DH had medical as secondary. We planned on getting vision and dental the next open period so all skids would be covered. BM told DH SD needed braces, DH told BM he didnt have the money to pay his part at the time and asked to wait until we had coverage of her - anyways, SD had braces following week. BM submitted medical claim through Domestic relations and long story short, DH wound up in contempt so we had to get a lawyer. Lawyer told us that DH was entitled to have 2nd opinion of braces to determine if medically necessary. I believe she also told us that if we were not in agreement with a medically unnecessary procedure, we could contest the money due because BM did not go through proper steps. Consider checking into it.

Congrats on the baby. and if he's still paying child support, i'd make sure the next call was to DR to end payments immediately for SD.
