I was on Facebook the other day. To my surprise there was a picture of the last home my deceased parents lived in. With it was a comment by my brother stating"This was the family home my dumb ass brother lost{sold} with the help of my sister." Then on-going comments from people he knew about how the house was such a bargain at the forclosure price and what a great rental investment turned into apartments.He plans to look into buying this historical home to use as rental. ALL I CAN THINK IS "WHY?' He never lived in this home.So there are no fond childhood memories there.

Its my own fault, Ill start out by saying that. Tonight we had a little graduation 'celebration' for one skid who graduated high school and the other who graduated 8th grade. So of course my DH had basically nothing to do with the entire thing.. I was the one who suggested that we even have the celebration. I asked older skids where he would like to go for dinner.. he picks a fairly expensive place.. not 5 star or anything but not chilies either. So whatever that's fine.

So BM and her bf broke up Again (5th time in 2 years).... But this Looks like it is "official" according to her Fb page. lol... Well this time she has moved out and in to her parents home. This will be her and SS6's 4th move of the year.
Being that this is their 4th move wouldn't that mean she is an unstable parent?? I do believe that 2 moves is a year qualifies her as unstable but not 100% sure on that. I told DH that we need to call our lawyer and Seriously think about going for FULL custody. I don't know if any of you have any experience with this and can give advice.

I found my soulmate in April 2010!! We met on Facebook actually but found out we'd been eachothers lives and didn't even know it!! We graduated from the same highschool the same year 2001! He was everything my heart and soul needed! I had been married before and had 2 children in that relationship and shortly after I found I was pregnant with my 2nd child I filed for divorce. Long story short that marriage didn't work Bc he was caught cheating, doing drugs, and running up credit cards in my name to watch porn online.

Last night was the last time I will go to dinner with SS10 and MIL together.

Saturday night I finally gave in and went to dinner with MIL, MIL BF, MIL BF's BS20, SS10 and DH. I had been avoiding this day and even suggested my DH go alone with SS10, I was not going to be much company. DH begged, pleaded and said he wouldn't go unless I went too. Feeling guilty I went along.

I had been reading about this for about a month on here and i be damned it happened to me! First of all I have a cheap ass cricket phone, but Im not mad about that....because all I need it for is to text in emergency or just make a phone call ...I really am not into all that high tech stuff, BUT also our finances would not really allow me to get such a phone if I wanted it right now. Then BM had the nerve to as DH to pay for half the phone! I told him hell no!

I am thrilled to have stumbled across this forum. I have been reading and sitting here thinking OMG I am not the only one with these issues. I've been feeling so petty- so guilty and so horrible about my feelings.

I feel better now.
I can't wait to reach out and vent too. Right now I am going to keep reading and make myself feel even better.

me and SO were supposed to go out to eat by ourselves. my mil said she would watch the baby but when i call her she's out. i don't mind bringing the baby with but we have t bring my ss8 with becuz SO let ss13 stay out with friends. so what i thought would be a night to talk alone. no I'm stuck listening to ss8. I'm not going to say a word. me and SO hAve been fighting a lot for the past couple months. we NEED time alone to talk but NO!!!!! I'm so sick of never having time alone. then what gets me more,, mad is that SO goes otut with his friends all the time.

I have spent sometime reading on here over the past while before I wrote something and I must say, THANK GOODNESS I am not the only one!!! My fiance's ex common law is just like the rest of these other BM's one here. It seems to me there must be a hand book on being A self-centered money- hungry EX. If that is the case I bet the author is mighty wealthy from the amount revenue brought in from its sales. Here I was spending so much time and energy explain my disgust to my parter regarding the going on's of his EX.
