Quick history: I moved 2 hours away from BD10 when I was married to my previous husband who is the father of BS7. I also have BD10 whos father I never married. The move couldn't really be helped, as my ex was out of a job for months and the only reasonable offer he had received was 2 hours away. We divorced within the next year after moving due to his infidelities and the fact that our marriage had started its downward spiral shortly after we moved. DH and I met right about this time through a group of people that we mutually hung out with.

I have been on Birth Control (ortho cyclen lo) for about 7 years now. Without it my period is usually irregular. Well Last month I had my friend visit me on the 14th through the 17th. I notice I had missed 4 'Active" blue pills straight in a row the following week so I decided to throw the pack away and start a new one once I start my Period again the following month. Well I ended up getting Intimate with my fiance while I was off the pill and with no back up protection.(we used the pill out method.)I looked at my menstrual calender and noticed we did it on the week I was Fertile.

Ss starts high school in a few weeks. And my Dh and I are terrified. I never had any issues and had many friends. Yet, high school was a nightmare for me. And this was in the good old days. The kids in Ss's middle school were positively cruel. I cannot imagine what they will be like in high school.

BM is not in the picture. She is basically the worst mother I've ever met. She does NOTHING for her kids at all. I want to write her an email and just let her know what a fucked up person she is and what she's doing to her kids. Have any of you stepmoms that live with the stepkids full time ever wrote to the BM ? Should I bother telling her what should be obvious to her. I know I wont get anywhere but she needs to know some things.

I am trying to stay out of it yet be there for BF (moral support) but the past few times BM has dropped off the boys I just want to choke her. She has been taking them places (which is good) but when she shows up at our house SS4 is upset - because he didn't want to leave where ever they were. She makes a big deal about it (babies him) and act like he doesn't want to be at our house. BF has to take him by the hand and walk him inside - 5 mins later he is fine. (BF called her on this tonight when she txt'ed to see how he was.

How would you interpret if your SO said " I'm sick of you" during a fight. Out of anger or the truth coming out? ?

Here is my story. I married a wonderful man that has no biological children of his own. However, his first wife had a child that he raised and provided for the whole time they were together. If it hadn't been for his love and desire to be a good parent the child would not have had a good life. When we married, he agreed to do the same for my two children from a previous marriage. I have set back and watched over the years and we are both treated disrespectful.

Ok so I haven't told much of my story and some of it I will keep to myself but I wanted to get this off my chest. Over a month ago we moved to a new state in order to give my SDs new beginning. After everything the BM has put them through and the bad choices they were making we thought this was the best idea. Well after talking with them they thought this was a great idea and they said how they wanted to make changes.

Yesterday I was given a surprise "baby shower" by a group of friends of mine. It started as an invitation by a friend of mine to bring DD over to her house to meet her kids, lunch and swimming. We accepted the invite and when we got there the surprise was sprung. I was honestly moved to tears by some of the gifts given.
