An epiphany on CS - Gotta love it when CS covers your half of visitation travel, legal fees for fighting the opposition as well as the occasional vacation, nice dinner for the spouse and a shopping trip or two.

I am married to the CP bio-mom to my Skid. His SpermIdiot is just that, an idiot.

I haven't kept up with things here.

I ran across this petition to make Parental Alienation a crime. I don't know if it's been shared here or not, so I'm going to post it. Sorry if someone has already done so, but I think there are others on here who can possibly benefit from it if it gets signed.

So, my sd is wanting Netflix at our house and this is how my husband handles it.

It was a beautiful spring day in April, 2005. I had started my first job building steering columns at Koyo, which was later changed to JTEK. My mom has been gone for 8 long months, I’m 18 years old but people say my soul is much older. I’ve been through hell and back, and somehow I’m still sane. I’m married to a man I despise I want out and I’ve wanted out for years now. Got married at the ripe age of 16 all because of a pregnancy and not wanting to raise my child in the environment I was raised in. I wanted a better life for me and my little girl.

experts now say its ok for kids of a certain age

Living HIGH off the hog while GG and I scrape for every dime.

We NEVER eat out b/c it's too expensive. I can, bake, freeze, dry food, have my own large garden.

We can't afford a heating bill so we burn the abundance of wood that we have on the property.

We never go on vacations; always work at home. No 'toys' like motorcycles, boats, snowmobiles, etc.

I convinced my husband the bars on the window was a bad idea. But we have locked the window. My husband tried to go and talk to SS but SS tried to make a run for it. So its back to being locked up in his room. We heard him crying in his room in the night and my husband wanted to let him out because he felt bad. I told my husband I would support him with whatever he decides. The thing about my husband is that he does try disciplining SS. But nothing works. He has tried everything under the sun apart from physically hitting him.

How do I get a fat stepkid to eat veggies and less junk? Ugh, I think I'm gaining weight just being around this child.

My SD21 is so damn lazy it drives me up a wall. She lives here rent-free, drives my wife's car all over God's green earth with no respect to how much it costs us for the payments. I don't remember the last time her lazy ass has washed dishes. We left for the weekend and when we came back, all of the glasses were dirty. Instead of washing them, she starting using the wine glasses. How pathetic can you be??? My wife has said to let her handle things with SD21, but I'm finding it hard to bite my tongue.

Well, we met. She put on a pleasant face, said a bunch of stuff and pretended like she's trying 110% to find a "solution" for this situation. Pretty much ignored the fact that the only one really causing any drama or problems is herself... I guess she's looking for a solution that SHE can accept... which means she probably won't find one cause what she'd really like is to replace her ex with a guy who loves her and wants to be married to her and have a family all together and that whole unrealistic dream that just didn't happen and can't be created now.
