I somehow managed to not wake DH up with a cup of ice water while screaming like a wackadoo who forgot to take their meds. I also made a dr appt for Fri because I don't think I'm going to survive my marriage without meds of my own. Instead of waking him I wrote a long letter to occupy my mind and then went to take a long hot bath with a big cold drink.

I need to vent since I have no one to talk to, but here we go. About 9 yrs ago, I met this really great man who had 3 young children at the time, I myself was living alone and just got a divorce. I had 2 young children myself from previous marriage.. Me and this man fell in love and in no time after a yr of dating he had asked me to move in with him in HIS home. I wasn't quite ready for this but I took that leap. Anyways, It was difficult then because we were blending a family together and boy was it hard..

It's been a year since my husband gained full custody of his daughter (13 years old), and yet she still can't seem to pick up after herself without being asked to do so! She has her own bathroom, not in her bedroom, but it's across the hall from her bedroom. It has been a pet peeve of mine since we got her, that after she takes a bath, she doesn't drain the water until she is asked to even if it's days later. She leaves her clothes all over her bathroom floor and counters.

Why do the psycho BMs always call at bedtime????!? Are they seriously that clueless???

This is the second night within a week that Sybil has called just as DH was reading SD5 a bedtime story. SD needs a routine, she gets upset when it's broken. Last time she kept the kids then DH on the phone an hour, then heard SD in the background talking and went off on DH for letting her stay up so late. He told her, not at all nicely I'm happy to report, that he was putting her to bed when Sybil called an hour ago!!!

So during the Skype convo last night she said "and you can tell THE Wifey, since I know she is listening, that she should have held her tongue and not sent that e-mail and maybe none of this would be happening" And I said and you can tell Skeletor that... And she cut me off. "THE Wifey, this is between me and FDH, not you". And I said, no, this decision is between he and I and doesn't involve you at all". Then later she said "THE Wifey, SHUT UP" when I was talking to him in the background. He said "That is unnecessary, do not talk to her like that".

Ya know your favorite shirt? The one that's been on the bathroom floor for the last week? The one I have not ONCE nagged you to pick up? I picked it up today...

It made a great toilet scrubber. No harm done. It's been washed- with color safe bleach, in case you wondered. Dried. Folded. And put back with the other clothes you're supposed to put away.

You might want to remember to put away your toothbrush... It's been on the counter for a few days now.

Love, ME

Does anyone else do subtle little things to piss off BM? I know for the most part we just want them to leave us alone, but a part of me can't help wanting to pay her back for all the crap she's given me! Today I let her believe DH bought me a brand new car! Lol It was actually a rental because our 10 year old car was in the shop, but she didn't have to know that. The look of shock and horror on her face when I pulled up to her house in it was PRICELESS!!

I have been with my SO for 3 years today, we have lived together for 1 1/2 years. He has 12 yr old daughter and 9 yr old son who live with us every other week. I have an 18 yr old son who lives with us 100%. My SO was married for about 7 yrs and his ex is bi-polar and causes us great grief (name callling, physical attacks, 20 calls in a night, talking about me to anyone she can, etc....). I was married for 18 years and have no contact with my ex (thankfully).

According to my 22 year old step daughter I'm a bitch. Lovely, what's new? It was nice of her to call the house and totally lose it over absolutely nothing and just go off about how I don't know anything about her life, that (according to her)I am lazy, a terrible mother who has no idea how to be a mother to my own two children, and just a fat bitch who can fuck off. Nice, really nice. My husband doesn't want to talk to her, but I would like for him to talk to her about this, especially since she also announced her feelings about me to the world on Facebook.

I've been reading a lot of the other bloggers, and I don't think that my problems are all that horrifying. There seems to be more tension between my FSD8 and her brother (FSSalmost4)than there is between either of them and myself.

In the beginning I think they were both very wary of me, but FDH made my position/standing pretty clear, so they gradually got used to me being around. I often felt that they thought of me more as an extension of their father rather than as an individual.
