Greetings! I found this board over a year ago. My blogs tell the story, so often reflected in others here, of a guilty disney dad, with a demanding, agressive toxic ex and a mirror in the eldest. WEll, I am here to tell you that it CAN get better. It will take work, patience, writing it out here, support where you can find it, and some tears, but everything will turn out in one of two ways:
1. You stay with your person and the skids move away and things get better.

Happy Birthday Week and Happy Friday on a Thursday! updates

Having a good day so far!

The new job has been moving slowly as my boss has been in and out of the hospital. Water on the lungs, but they cannot find the cause. Other than that, everyone is REALLY nice, and its great to have nice folks to talk to. I was in a windowless office for a year at my previous job, and had no human interaction except for the person I bought lunch from.

Good morning, I hate you...

This morning while SO and I were in bed, enjoying our morning coffee, Winona SD18, decided to argue with Dad-dee about leaving lights on (she did) and leaving TV on (she more than likely did). I decided to drop in (hey, shes in my bedroom, arguing first thing in the morning, this is what you get!) and give my 2 cents worth, noting that she was the last one up, so who else left lights on??? And even if she did not - as the last one up, she needs to go through the house and turn everything off.

Buzzkill - Fishkill - Facebook - doesnt really matter any more....

SO and I were having a REALLY great evening last night. We had adult beverages in hand, a firepit going, s'mores were happening... The "The destroyer of all happiness" waltzes in, pokes her head outside. Takes over, and grabs what she wants to stuff in her face.

Snap, Crackle, Pop! And updates

Busy weekend! It feels like eons ago, since my last post. I hope everyone on ST is doing well.

SO and I attended the Monterey Pop Festival, on its 50-year anniversary, Saturday (without skids!!!) and Nora Jones, with Jack Johnson~ Fabulous!
Fathers Day, SO went fishing, came back later for a nice dinner, and I spent time during the day with my Dad, and cousins. It was completely mellow and unplanned. Plus - No skids!!!!

Tired. Just tired of all the crap.

SO has finally had it with Winona SD18. She was home all weekend, either sleeping or eating, her room a pigsty as usual, and full of bowls and water glasses, in direct opposition to everything SO has told her (IE Do your dishes, don't eat in your room, make sure all the dishes are out of your room).

What started it? The crap started it. Seriously. Crap.

And Graduation Gate continues - now I get to emotionally support another teen who hates SM

Does this torment end sometime soon?

SO has a really good friend, lets call him JAMES. James has 3 kids, KD A, B and C, 2 girls and the youngest is a boy. James went through a horrible time with BM - she would be violent and destructive, drink, do drugs, cheat and even put him in jail after faking an injury. The jailtime didn't last nor did it go anywhere, but the BM is super crazy. Her kids want NOTHING to do with her, nada.

Update on Winona Chronicles - No room at the Inn...

She's chronic all right - a chronic pain that just wont go away.

Yesterday I come home after a super long and frustrating day at work, and find out that BM has told Winona that she should not get too comfortable, that her room that she trashed is now Munchkins. She wasn't told to leave, according to BM, but that just meant she was sleeping on the couch, so she turned around and came back to dad who was waiting in the truck, and told him that she was told she was no longer welcome there.

So, she is with us full time now, Frick.
