Just wondering for those of you that were divorced....did you ever feel like being married again after that? How long did it take you to get married again? I'm just wondering because I can't figure out why biomom has yet remarried.

Just wondering how everyone's else's situation on this topic. Everytime my stepson is sick, he ends up at biomom's house no matter if it's our weekend. Why is that? Just like he was sick this past weekend, biomom called on Sunday and I was not home but husband was and stepson. I came home and husband told me that biomom picked him up because he was sick. I was like what, why? I feel like she can't trust us w/caring for him. My husband don't care much if she picks him up. I don't get it?

Hi All,

Well, it's been an interesting weekend to say the least. Nothing remarkable has happened in regards to any progress with my stepchildren, but again I'd be holding my breath until I'm blue in the face. Kind of like someone who's on a ventilator in a vegetative state, moreless. My husband flipped out yesterday and made some stupid comment to me yesterday again about helping me out with the dogs. I have not been using the pool for a month now since I have open ulcers on my hands from dermatitis.

I have dealt with all sorts of medical stuff all through my life. That's what I do, deal with stuff. It's no wonder my parents stopped having children after me. On the light end I have allergies and asthma, and they only rear their ugly heads in spring and autumn. But did I really need to have a brain hemorrhage at 18 months which gave me a brain injury that caused me to suffer with epilepsy since. Then there was the brain surgery when I was 11 years old. That was a delight, total paralysis of my right side?, sounds great.

Well,it's been an interesting few days and I am still trying to figure out what to do about my fifteen year old dog. I really don't think his problem is organic, much more than I just think that at his age, it's just payback time, and he is becoming evil and demented. I can't seem to get ahead of him at all. And you wonder why people have cats and put them in bags. Maybe that sounds ill, but I am seriously saying my dog is driving me up the wall with making these messes on purpose. It's actually gotten so bad, that we've even twisted his name into a nickname of "Goldi-Comet".

Hey everyone, so today is day 3 of my stepkids 5 days at our house and I really feel today more than ever not 100% comfortable in my own home. I'm not on top form because my husband and I are still strained after the arguments from last week's issues so I'm just kinda letting him deal with the kids and I'm observing him and slowly realising that the kids are the way they are because of him - he basically lets them do whatever they want until he knows it's really getting to me and then he'll make a half ditched attempt at putting it right.

Here's a good one--
I don't know if any of you have ever tried this but I have on occasion done this, but always turned back around because I knew that I had to face reality.

I wanted to hear your opinion on this. Would you ever want to have peace w/biomom and carry out a civilized relationship? A relationship where you can talk comfortably without thinking in the back of your mind that she is up to something evil. Or is this impossible? Is it just in nature that new wife & exwife just do not get along?

HooBoy, that was nuts. My husband does this occasionally, sits eveyone down and picks at topics that you thought were okay. The things that my husband had for me was about stepson's (17) moblie phone and girlfriend (14). Ugh.
