Changes back...

So thursday DH got a text from BM that SD9 didn't want to come for her visit this weekend. DH asked for SD9 to call him after school. DH told SD9 that was unacceptable, she had already been gone for 2 1/2 weeks and that she needed to come this weekend. So we picked up skids together from school yesterday and sat them down before my BD8 came home from the bus. Apparently BM has been coercing SD9 to not come to our house and it's been working. It has not affected SS13 though. SD9 informed us that it's easier to hurt DH and I rather than BM because her wrath is much worse.

Some Relief, I suppose

So after my last entry DH got a phone call from BM saying SD9 wants to stay with her instead of coming to see us. SS13 said he doesnt want his schedule to change. The last week has been a little easier with just BD8 and SS13, but there have been times I wish SS13 would just stay at BM's too. I hate that I feel this way because it hasnt always been like this. I think with all the game playing and lies over the years I have some serious resentment towards them.

step parenting was easier in the beginning....

OK, I have tried everything I can think of but nothing seems to help. So I am hoping for some helpful advice. I have been with my DH for 6 years. I have a SS and a SD as well as a BD. In the beginning things were going fine. We got along with the BM well and communicated easily. We kept our mouths shut about what his children came back to us and said she was saying because we thought it was best for them to not have confrontation with the BM.
