I was diagnosed with PCOS when I was 22. My cycles have been crazy ever since I can remember, and my acne looks worse than my teenage skids! I am also only 5 foot tall, and about 35 pounds overweight.

While doing a low carb diet almost 10 years ago, I was able to get pregnant, after years of being told I wouldn't have kids. Gibby was our little miracle that made our family complete.

So Im still new to ST but idk Im kinda thinking about leaving??? at first I was super excited because I thought I would read experiences similar to mine and maybe get advice... but idk anymore... what to do???

My 27-year old stepson is getting married this Saturday afternoon. His BM will be there and she will be walking him down the aisle even though she hasn't had much to do with him since he was 15-years old. What should I expect? She is known for her antics and potty mouth. If you've gone through this please give advice.

My husband will also be in part of the ceremony. I am wondering how this will all play out.

SS just turned 9 this wkd. For his b-day, he had a sleepover, then we took him with my bro's kids to play mini golf and dinner. BM again did not have a birthday party for him or SS5. SS9 was such a brat, I wanted to say its b/c it was his birthday and we heard multiple times that it was his b-day and he could do what he wanted. Because of MY family, SS9 made over $120 just off of them.

I'm not sure where to even start. I just don't know that the step parent thing is for me. I love my dh but the SS are about to rip us apart. I can't bond with them, ss15 drives me up the wall. He is there ALL THE TIME. There is no time to decompress from work on the weekends because they're there. The time I have during the week seems so caotic and hectic because of dh and my schedules that we get home, eat, enjoy eachother and go to bed. SS15 and ss17 don't appreciate anything and it drives me up the wall. I knew about the kids before we got married.

I was in a car accident on Thursday. It wasn't my fault at all. The lady that hit me ran a red light. They are more than likely going to total my car (it was a 1997 Toyota Rav4). Right now I have a rental, paid for by the ladies insurance.

I have to go back to the doctor on Wednesday because they found blood in my urine. I can't lift my arm left arm very well right now.

So SO took BM to court last week for breach of access. Outside court she agreed to restore access but had a family event next weekend (SO's normal weekend access) so they agreed he'd have them last Fri/Sat and next Fri/Sat then resume access as normal. SO agreed to this only because the case was being pushed out and may not have been heard until July. She also agreed to sign passport applications and she was given them to sign. They agreed that they would each hold one passport.

I stepparented a teenage girl for almost 5 years. I love her father dearly, but living with this girl was the most stressful experience I have ever been through. Her mother passed away when she was young. She came to live with me when she was 12. Everyone in her life felt sorry for her because her mother was sick most of her life and eventually died. She was raised without boundaries and no one ever told her that her behavior was inappropriate when they should have. I made her live by rules in my house and she had never lived in a structured environment.

Well I knew I would be back on here at some point this weekend. Last night was the benefit for BM and I grudgingly agreed to go to show my support. It was a pretty drama-free evening, except she did tell me she wanted to get everyone together for breakfast the next day and she would talk to my fiance's mom. I was like whatever. I assumed it would just be breakfast with her and her boyfriend, my fiance's son, and my fiance's family (and him of course). So we get to Ihop and what do we find out, but her parents were also invited to breakfast.

Monday will be the first "official" day of my summer vacation. Both stepsons were gone for the weekend. And Princess has been working for the last four days, so I've hardly seen here. I'm really not looking forward to us all being home tomorrow.

Okay, so PITA is still staying with the in-laws for his little blow-up on the 11th, calling me a b%$^& and saying he hates me, and I don't love him, and I never do anything for him. Loghead says he can stay at grandpa's and rot if he likes. Loghead says he's not coming home until he can learn some respect.
