I am nine months pregnant with my first child. My fiancee has two children from a previous marriage. Until a few weeks ago when his grandmother passed on we have had really no contact with them for months at a time. He was asked to sign his rights over and her new husband was to adopt them. Now they carry her new exhusbands name and since she's gotten her recent divorce and moved in with a new boyfriend she wants him to start taking them again. She dragged us in and out of court so much and it makes me nervous to have any contact with her or the children.

At the beginning of my relationship w/my husband, his ex was very nice to me. Now it's been 6 yrs and she is now cold and unfriendly towards me. Why the change? I can't figure that out. What do you guys think?

My hubby just does not understand why I got upset last night. He was talking on the phone to a friend of his about our bioson's football season coming up. The coach for our son's football this year is the cousin to hubby's ex-wife (the one who gives us all the drama in our lives). Anyway he was telling this buddy of his that my son and the coach are cousins. I became upset because there is no way in God's creation that my son is related to that witch of an ex-wife. I know I may have over reacted a tad bit but geez. Why would he even want to refer to them as relatives anymore?

Hope everybody's doing well and keeping cool in this crazy July-August heat and humidity!

I've gotten legal advice to file for sole custoday because the level of co-operation necessary for joint custody/joint decision making is just not there and his actions clearly depict that..

The "Mother of the Year" has had 3 husbands, 4 kids, of which she has custody of none. She recently left husband #3 to be with boyfriend #4. She has cheated on every husband so far.
She's moved 12 times in the past 9 years. She has lived in 4 different states during that time. On average, she sees her oldest 2 children twice a year. I can't speak for the younger 2 since they don't live with us, but I imagine it's about the same. It's a pretty sad track record that speaks for itself.

Has anyone been in this situation? My daughter looks forward to seeing her brother on the scheduled visitation days and gets really upset when plan is changed. She is 5 yrs old and knows the days he comes to visits us. Last week when that happened she said " I hate him, I don't want to play with him anymore!" Stepson's mother kept him on Wednesday because his cousins were in town for the week. My husband agreed to it. I ended up yelling at my husband and told him no more switching or if biomom decides to switch she needs to replace the day(s) we lost.

My Sd (14) has turn into someone I do not know. I have found blogs that she has written that prove she is manipulating both families. She has begged us to move back here and then after we see the attorney she said, "I changed my mind." We are being played for a foul. At her last visit she asked to stay at her grandma's house. She kissed us goodbye and went. Then a 180 happened. She called her dad and said she never wants to come back. No reason just! The grandmother encouraged this.

The kids just went back to their mother's house today. Of course, she planned their vacation starting today so for the entire visit all the kids talked about was their upcomming vacation. The reality of it all is that we don't have the money they have and we can not take vacations every year nor but the kids every little thing they want. Part of the buying everything is that we do not want to "spoil" any of the kids or be disney parnets. I can't take it any longer. The X, how my husband walks around after the kids leave.

BF told my son Thursday morning when his Dad took him "to call your mother & let her know what's going on".

I also left a voice message on X's cell phone..early Thursday Evening for x to call me. It's Saturday...I've heard nothing from either one of them.

I'll call his family...and see if they know what's going on..
