So Im about sick of my SD11's lying and then she gets away with it. It's like im the only one who see's what she does. My DH is a back seat parent when it comes to SD. He never notices when SD is being rude or when she lies, but is real quick to punish my children. It causes a lot of fighting between us because eventually I get fed up and say something.

As you know, I am a BM. My son does have a SM. She is SM #3 officially, 4 if you count GF's! From the BM point of view there are just some things that I don't need from the SM.

The kitty was only 9 months old and our murderous asshole neighbor shot him to death. I've already informed the sheriff's office and the DA. The investigators brought him in and he admitted to it. The DA said it looks like a state jail felony.

So we finally got SS's records from his eye doctor, and it turns out he has an eye disease that BF knew nothing about! I have worked in ophthalmology for 5 years - I'm actually a surgery coordinator for a prominent eye surgeon.

Todays the day they go meet. I am praying that he doesnt come back to the house. I will scream. Please lord, do something.

So last night I began having SEVERE back pain in my upper back between my shoulder blade and spine. I had DH massage it, it didn't help, just made it worse. So I took some Ibuprofen and attempted to do that 'sleep' thing, yea didn't work. I woke up this morning and could not move at all without sharp shooting pain reverberating all over my back. I yell for DH to help me, and he comes in helps me up then says "SD is coming over today". If I wasn't in so much pain, I would have kicked the idiot in his loveknob.

All your comments have made me realise that I'm normal to have these feeling and moments where I just want to scream!! Yesterday was a bad day - me and BF ended up going sleep with the silent treatment which was my error so I've apologised this morning. I know it doesn't do anything to help but sometimes I just want to switch off and go back to my 'old life'where at least my time was my own and I had certain control over things.

WELL... WHERE DO I START, I LEFT MY X-HUSBAND FOR A MAN THAT I HAVE LOVED WITH EVERY INCH OF MY HEART. I HAVE NEVER EVER FELT THIS WAY FOR ANYONE SINCE IVE BEEN BORN. WELL NEEDLESS TO SAY HE HAS GROWN CHILDREN 3 SONS.(35,32,28) 2 OF THE 3 HAVE KIDS OF THEIR OWN. I HAVE FIVE CHILDREN MYSELF, 3 ADULTS (25.21,19) WITH KIDS OF THEIR OWN, AND 2 STILL AT HOME. (18 AND 11) THE PROBLEM IS SO DIFFERENT LIFE STYLES IN UP BRINGING. MY CHILDREN HAS BEEN TAUGHT TO BUDGET THEIR MONEY AND PROVIDE FOR THEMSELVES AND HIS KIDS DAILY HAVE THEIR HANDS OUT USING THEIR CHILDREN AS BEING HUNGRY.

As some of you know, my SD15 goes to therapy once a week because of SF molesting her. Well, SD has been having some issues with other things in her life as a result of the molestation. Well, last week SDs therapist gave her an assignment to do before she goes back this week. SDs assignment was to search what Healthy Relationships are. This was the first time that SD has mentioned that her therapist gave her an assignment to do before her next appointment. After she had told us about it and I saw that she wasn't completing it.

Due to my recent blog and some very helpful advice, I did paraphrase some of the following to SD to give her some insight into emotional blackmail, her part in emotional blackmail (accepting the behavior), as well as how to not take it anymore, or move past it.
