My eldest SS (almost 22) moved back to his home state of AZ, where his mother is, last November to try and get his life back in order and on track. He was able to enroll in the local university and actually did very well, grade-wise, this spring semester.

Our rent is due on the 1st, and we have next to no $$ to our names. DH is a car salesman, and this has been an extremely slow month for him. 60% of his check is taken for CS, until it is paid. DH just finished paying it last week.

I don't know what we're going to do. I'm so upset.

Of course SS6 loves to talk - maybe a little too much at times and does not know when he should stop talking. Cases in point...

I am so frustrated with this whole thing I don't even know where to start. Just a briefing to start I am a SM/BM my SD will be 7 next month, BD is 2 and i am expecting in November. My DH has full custody of SD and she lives with us since school ended before that she lives with M.I.L and we fought in court for her the whole 3 years total she was there. We also had visits the whole time she was living with MIL.

My DH has been fighting for several years to be a part of his DD7's life since his divorce with her mom. 5 years he has had to deal with false allegations, his daughter being withheld from him, and harassment from her family towards him and even me since I entered the picture 4 years ago. Now he has finally gotten his psycho BM to agree to a custody schedule that involves eow and 5 weeks in the summer. They agreed on this two months ago, but she has yet to sign the paperwork. Now we are worried that SD7 will not be up to our state this summer, once again.

Skids leave Friday to spend July with BM for the first time ever. They haven't spent more than a week with her since the divorce over 5 years ago. Every other time they've spent a week with her she has melted down the next time they saw her because she can't handle the pressure.

So this week my daycare provider is on vacation so I am paying my two SS's 13 & 11 to watch their brother. We are on day three & it has been going great. I have had to do a bit of picking up when I get home, but other than that the place is pretty clean. BS almost 4 is loving it, he likes not having to leave the house and having his brothers there with him.

Ugh. Need help. I keep obsessing on all of the dysfunctional things between my DH and SD17. It's crazy. Any advice to let it go? I have tried talking to my DH, ignoring it, having a drink to calm my nerves. Every little thing bothers me and it makes it really hard for me to like either one of them.

Only 5 more days until SS comes back. UGH!!!! He has been gone almost a whole week!! This is the first time, in over a year and a half, that he has been gone more than a day or two here and there. IT HAS BEEN HEAVEN!!!!

Just wanted to get that out there and make you all jealous! Lol, sorry.

The ex-wife has finally stopped all contact with all of us. We had to go the legal route to do this. But now, SS has his mother's family coming after him now instead. They did this once before, bullying him on Facebook. SS had to cancel his Facebook that time. Now, they are sending him emails asking him to forgive his mother, that she is not feeling well. This entire family is SICK! They are all psychos. For this fourth of july, we are going to SS's apartment again. It has been a while since we have seen him and the baby.
