SS14 might have finally done it...but DH is still a little wishy washy.

My SS14 is currently suspended for the 3rd time this year, for five days. This time he was told by the school admin that he couldn't go to the 8th grade dance because he had three referrals this trimester. So he decided to say, "I'll kill anyone who stands in my way of going to the dane." Bam! Suspended! When DH was doing his usual bit of, "He was just mad." I asked, "How many times have you promised to kill people?" As it turns out, my DH has never actually threatened to kill anyone. Go figure.

Want to kick SS in the head.

He is 14 and a constant jerk who can only focus on one thing in life (video games and internet) and is always doing sneaky little things to break all the rules. NO, you cannot eat candy in your room!!! NO, you cannot play video games when you're failing a class!!!! NO, your father will NOT take you to McDonalds after we just had a home cooked meal, and what makes you think that is any kind of appropriate question that you could EVER ask?? NO, you WILL NOT EVER have an iPhone until you pay for the service yourself!!

All in my head?

So I decided that SS13 was a sociopath a long time ago. We hit a big point where basically he has gotten into trouble with the law, accused me of abuse (just in here in the house, I squashed that bug so fast his head was spinning with words like "won't living in a foster home be great," and "If I spend even a minute being questioned by cops you won't ever step foot in this house again.")

Love this place to vent…DH gives me his phone after BM starts her crazy texting spree.

Quick background: SS12 has now finally gotten a ticket from the police for his school antics. He had to go to court this week and BM could not show up (typical). So he goes to her house and says he has another court date for sentencing, nothing big, just some kind of "kid court" thing. Then she goes off on text message about how DH is ordered by the court to inform her off all things to do with her son and blah blah blah he has to keep her up to date on everything.

The calm before the storm?

So this has been a pretty peaceful summer. SS12 went out of the country for a month (nice break) and came back in love with all of us and missing us. He went to a very poor country with BM and he might actually appreciate, briefly, the good things in life.

Ahhhhh!

It's so nice having a weekend away from the step-monster. Just us and the little ones. There were times when I missed SS12, but now I pray that BM will demand that she get more custody. Oh wait, she's sick of him too and keeps giving us all her time (with same pay lol).

I haven't vented on here lately because I was working real hard on being positive and looking for healthy ways to deal with SS11. Not that this place isn't AWESOME, I was just finding myself so angry that I wanted to strangle my SS and all of your's too, along with the BM I deal with and the ones you deal with too Smile

My SS is a sociopath

So we figured out that SS11 created a different online profile on the Xbox and he also figured out the code we put on there to limit his time. DH finally woke up at this point and the Xbox is gone for the rest of the summer with no access to the internet until an undetermined time (I say never). After this he still tried to sneak his laptop to his room and has manipulated DH's employees to allow him to play on their computer (he has to go to work with his dad on some days because otherwise I might go insane).

The helpless SS

This was an eventful week with my family. On Wednesday we all were awoken by my contractions and a brand new DD for all of us to love Smile Yeah!!! That is until SS11 decided on Saturday to tell me that he just doesn't consider DS2 and new DD his brother and sister. It was a big wake up call for me and in my postpartum brain I was very sad. I told DH and he spoke to SS, but basically it boils down to the fact that you can't teach love and empathy.
