Am I crazy to think this way?

DH was awarded custody of his two teenage kids last Sept (2009).

Mom is disabled, but never really worked much before than either. DH always paid his child support weekly when she had custody ($150/week). She constantly harrassed both of us for more money, that his kids weren't his priority, that he needed to pay more for every thing under the sun (extras - school pics, clothes, medical bills despite what the court order said). And he did pay a lot of extras.

Well after yet another argument with DH about SD and SGKS last night, I had enough and contacted an attorney today. I have to protect my sanity and my interests.

BM asked us if we could watch the kids on Sunday night (and overnight) because she is going to a sex toy party and will be drinking...

Pfffft! We are still giggling about it.

...but hers got me to thinking. I was raised in a large very close-knit family. DH's family is also very close, though he only has one sister. I am truly blessed with in-laws I love dearly...all of them. My SIL is like a sister to me. My MIL...I couldn't have hoped for better. We are all very close.

So last nite, 8 pm after getting homework, dinner fixed and cleaned up, baths done etc. BD6 is in jammies in bed watching her 15min of alloted disney channel before lights out.
BS16 is in his room right next to hers either doing homework or sleeping. I look in BD6's door and say "Im gonna run to the convienient store right behind our house and I will be right back. Your brother is in his room if u need anything".

My SO has a SD10 (sort of) of his own. She is not my SO's biological child but he has raised her since she was a toddler. SO has always introduced and completely considers her as his own. Things between SD10 and myself were difficult to say the least. She ease dropped, spied, lied and caused as much trouble as possible, conspiring with or manipulated by BM the entire time.

On 10/13/1993 my father suddenly and unexpectedly past away. After 17 years this date is always a bit melancholy. It seems like a lot of people have lost loved ones recently and although I know that time really does heal all wounds and the pain will eventually start to subside for those people, I also know that the feeling of loss really never goes away.

:jawdrop: im sorry im pregnant and i need to vent my DH and i got in a fight because my SS asked me if i will love the new baby as much as i love him and i said yes but my DH told me you wont know a parents love until you have your own kid that sense he made SS and that is a piece of him that he loves him more than i do and even more than he loves me and i got mad because i think anyone can have sex and make a kid that doesnt make them a parent i love my SS he calls me mommy because thats who i am his BM rarely sees him mabey a day 3 times a month im there everyday feeding him teaching him

Does anyone have a DH who goes away on visitation weekends to stay overnight in order to see skids due to distance issues?

So I have two weeks of school left - which will get rid of some stress. And I am starting a CAREER soon - no more part-time jobs. My wonderful parents sat me down and basically told me they don't know where their daughter went. They want me to get out of that house as well as FH. They told me FMIL is creating a very unhealthy enviroment for me and I am not good at handling stress - it physcially takes a toll on me - like I will lose 20 pounds and then gain 30 back...if anyone looks at me the wrong way - I burst into tears. my anxiety is so bad I want to hide in a corner.
