UGH! So mad. BM brought my SS home the other day. She also nearly tried to walk in my house. I don’t think so missy! How can she think she would be welcome on my porch, much less in my house? It was less than a month ago, she totally went off on DH about something stupid. She never did apologize.

Anyway…that is not why I am mad. That is just annoying. I am mad, because she actually looks good. LOL and GRRR. She lost at least 30LB. and is tan. I am not used to seeing her little butterball self, looking like that.

The last time I went to therapy was when I was married-about a year or so prior to my divorce. It helped me recognize the abuse and propelled me out of there. I'm thinking it might help me get through this difficult time and decide if this the life for me. Or at least to better cope w/my feelings.

Are you a parent or a friend? There is such a fine line between the two that it is often confused. How can someone expect their children to have respect for them as parents when the focus is placed on friendship? Like my fiance for example.

This is the discussion I had with my fiance last night after dinner. He thinks that you CAN be both a parent and a friend I think the opposite or at least I disagree on how HE is doing it. You can be both if done the correct way. I believe Be a parent FIRST and a friend LATER.

I noticed the message from Admin that was posted back in April regarding issues with the tracking options is gone. I don't have tracking capabilities back, so I was wondering if that's something still in the works or if those options have been done away with for good.

AFTER READING KATRINKIE'S BLOG THIS MORNING MAKES ME SIT BACK AND THINK ABOUT MY OWN SITUATION. EVEN THOUGH I DID NOT COME INTO A SITUATION OF AT HOME STEPS , SO MANY OF THE SAME PROBLEMS EXIST. I ALSO HAVE HAD TO ADMIT TO MYSELF THAT EVERYONE INVOLVED IN OUR SITUATION HAS CONTRIBUTED TO THE OUTCOME OF OUR SITUATION. MYSELF, THE STEPS ,THE EX, AND I THINK TO THE GREATEST DEGREE MY HUSBAND. FOR MYSELF, I SEE THAT I WENT INTO THIS RELATIONSHIP WITH NO KNOWLEDGE OR EXPERIENCE ABOUT STEPS. I WRONGLY ASSUMED THAT WE COULD ALL BE ONE HAPPY, EXTENDED FAMILY.

I haven't been here for a while because so much has been going on.

My baby DD was born on the 24th. She's beautiful, sweet, and almost not fussy at all. She already almost sleeps through the night; usually there's only one middle of the night hungry.

So I recently found out that my husband's daughter (20) who lives with us with her baby is receiving assistance from the State. She receives $193 in link (food stamps). The baby will be 10 months old at the end of this month. So I had spoken with my husband about her donating a little towards food, as she eats and her baby eats more table food now. He had the nerve to tell me that the link that she's receiving is for her and her baby. WTF!!!!

Where to begin, where to begin. It really is hard to know where to start atm...
There's his kid, his parents, his dog ect ... all just getting to me.

When H is at work, this house is the loudest, most lonely place I've ever been. Plenty to do, but noone to connect or talk with. SS12 and SS7 are inconsiderate, disrespectful and wouldn't know compassion if it walked up to them, made them dinner, gave them candy and said, "Hi, my name is..."

When H is here, I see where they get it. The gloves are off now that we've said "I do." Men talk about they hope their wives don't turn into fat slobs after the wedding. Well, I hoped my H wouldn't turn into a DICK after the wedding and he did just that.
