Way o/t but would like advice please

3bk1sd's picture

Things have been going really well.DH went to drop off cs and SD wasn't going to be there. We knew that he'd be talking to BM, usually he avoids her as she always wants to argue with him.
He came home and didn't say anything about it, I didn't ask because the kids were there and I didn't want to hear about her foolishness anyway. I knew he had texted her to make sure she would be home and here is where my behaviour becomes questionable

Hoping for advice. When to let things go and when to freak out.

I haven't posted in a long time. SD13 hasn't been coming over. Dh will occasionally go get her and take her for coffee or a movie. He has seen her maybe 4 times since Christmas. He does text or call her at least once a week but she is still angry with him. She was friends with my BS12 on facebook and she mentioned that she didn't go to her dad's anymore and was mad that he choose me over her. I have deleted her from BS's account as we don't need to read her foolish posts.
Sorry for the long lead-in to my question...

Back from vacation, SD didn't go.

SD decided to not go on vacation with us and I was glad as she hasn't been coming to visit us anyway. DH called her today and she seems angry with him that he actually went on vacation without her. I think she may have actually thought he would stay home if she didn't go. DH enjoyed his vacation with his wife, 3 year old and my two bios. We're talking about a short trip next weekend and not inviting SD. Also we're planning a trip for just the two of us in the near future Smile

It's been six years ...

Looking back now I really think I should have seen some warning signs and ran as far and fast as I could. I was "blinded by love" or some such foolishness and although it's been a long hard road I do feel like we will survive with our sanity intact.
An unfortunate consequence to our finally being able to see things as they are is that SD(13) no longer wants to come visit. I could write a book and maybe some day I will. The condensed version is this;

waiting on SD's decision...

We're going on vacation for a week beginning July 21. SD13 has been here 3 nights so far this year and each time insists that she's not coming back. DH told her that she's invited on our vacation but we need to know if she is coming or not. He still hasn't gotten a response. I'm thinking this means she's not coming but maybe I'm just being hopeful. If I thought she would behave herself and not always try to start an arguement or always make insulting remarks toward us than I wouldn't mind. I honestly believe that if she comes she will only be doing it in order to cause trouble.

Unbelievable...

So on Wednesday DH said SD12 asked if a friend could come for Friday night. I asked which one and when he told me I said "absolutely not, anyone but her." So I decided to not mention anything else to DH until he said something first. He still hadn't said anything this morning so I asked him how many people I needed to cook supper for. He said "SD is bringing her friend." I asked if it was the friend I said I didn't want here and he said yes. I asked him why he would even check with me if my opinion didn't matter. He said that he knew if he told SD no that she wouldn't come.

Waiting to see if DH acts the part of "guilty daddy" or not.

This morning DH called me from work. He said that SD12 had just called and asked him if her friend could come for the weekend. DH said he told her he'd check and let her know tomorrow. I remember this "friend" from last year. She actually had the nerve to talk back to DH and I on the first day we met. Also, property was destroyed and wether it was SD or her we're not sure.
I said "Absolutely not! She's the little mouthy one that was her when things were broken last year." Dh just said "oh, hummm". I said "I'm not discussing it further, my answer is no."

SD's coming here again...

So, it's been almost 14 weeks since SD has been here. She's decided that she wants to come tomorrow night. I am really not happy about that. At least I know all I have to do is look at her the wrong way and she'll be gone again for 13 more weeks. I am going out tomorrow night with my kids and plan to keep them away on Saturday too, I hate for them to witness how she acts. Wish me luck Sad
