I am new to this site and am relieved to know I am not alone. but makes me think.....are we too hard on the situation? I am thinking no, because I spend more time feeling angry and depressed and I never used to be. I read about all the 4 year olds and 7 year olds. My SD is now 11, I met her when she just turned 8. Even neighbors tried to warn me that what this little girl wants, she gets. I never even said anything remotely negative either. I guess they just saw how she ran to daddy to fix everything. He'd run down the street to protect her from name calling when she is the bully.

Not that I am going to give either my BD or my SS a key yet, they are too young right now, but when the time comes I am very worried that BM will copy it and do who-knows-what. The kids are 8 and 9 and in a few years will need/want access to the house. I am already thinking ahead and planning on getting one of those deadbolts that have a key pad, giving them the code and changing it every week. I just don't trust BM.

Well, this wknd was the bday party the BM was having for her D.

I was obviously skeptic-it was the first combined event w/her/her family/friends-and then just my bf, me and my boys. He normally doesn't do the both parents bday. BUT his D had specifically invited us and the boys so IMO it would have been rude to not suck it up and go.

My fiance's uncle passed away on Friday and the funeral is today -- a 6 hour drive away. We are scheduled to have the skids tonight, our usual every-other Monday night.

I was looking up how to make christmas deco on dollar store items and came across this. I love the tampons!

BM is always accusing me of something...the latest is that I sent her 23 year daughter a post on facebook that was so disturbing to her that it caused her an issue in her already complicated pregnancy. BM called HB to tell him that I had sent the message and discuss why I would do such a thing.

1. I don't even have a facebook page.
2. I didn't even know the daughter was pregnant.
3. Why would I care?

The woman is a total psycho. Can't seem to get away from her and her drama no matter how hard we try.

We celebrate both holidays in this house and my husband does Hannukah for the kids. Each night they do the menorrah and he gives them a gift at the end. He starts small and by the 8th night they get their large gift. Well SD no longer has anything to do with this household. SS12 has been with us until this morning and he is back at his BM's for the next week. So he has gotten his gifts every night. BM has been doing things right lately and actually texted DH that she would bring SS back at 5:30 so he could do Hannukah here.

I'm done. I can't take it anymore. I don't care if I ever have contact with SD ever again.
Please see my posts on the forum under adult stepchildren, same title as this blog. Page 2 is the latest entry in the 'saga' and the proverbial straw that broke the camel's back. I just don't want do play this game any longer. :sick: If DH wants to continue his guilt driven, co-dependent relationship with his grown daughter, he's on his own. I wash my hands of the whole d*mn thing.

i just dont' understand this woman. she gets paid cs yet she cannot support her children. she makes the exact same as DH but he pays her support so her has additional money. her unfortunate dh makes good money, yet her children go without.
Dh took ss15 shoe shopping because his prior pair was 2 sizes too small for the kid. we purchased a pair of size 14 shoes!!! the prior pair was a 12 mesh shoe - he had blown out the sides so you could see his socks. bm's solution to this was to buy him black socks so you couldnt' tell his toes were showing out the side.....awesome bm.

Hello....I need to vent! My SS bio Mom has bipolar and it seems it's in the bad stage right now. Things had been quiet for a couple of months but now she is back to all her usual crap. She blames me for the break down of the relationship between my boyfriend and his Step son (her bio child). I have never done anything to this kid, he's 21 now, but she has filled his head with lies about me and says he won't come over to see my BF because he hates me. My BF was his father in everyway since he was 4 and it bothers him that he won't come over, now we know why.
