I have been worried about your SD and if your hubby told her to stay home. I keep seeing more and more stories about people being stranded and so hope none of them were her or your DH in case he took out after her. Hope you are staying warm, dry and safe.

Hope everyone is doing well and that you have enough supplies (for drinking if you are snowed in at home with steps) to g you through.

Just a short update

Life has been relatively quiet for quite some time. We were granted the restraining order that will last until September 2015. By that time, it will have been in place since May 2013 for a total of 2 1/2 years. Our lawyer told me that if the girls still do not want to see him come next summer and he will look into getting it extended.

Court was scheduled for today........but no more!! :)

Well, we were scheduled to back in court again this afternoon for a long term/permanent RO against my EH, Ding Dong, for abusing our two daughters. We are standing at just short of a year, 11 months, that this has been drug out. Yesterday his attorney passed on an offer of supervised visitation of 2 hours every Saturday at a local eating establishment. His last offer was supervised visitation with his parents supervising but it was to be his normal EOW and 2 weeks summertime vacation. Uh no. Not even no, but H*** NO! I asked the girls what they thought of this latest offer.

Well I knew there would be some backlash from court

I just didn't think it would put our youngest daughter in the middle so bad. Our oldest daughter had a volleyball game last night. Ding Dong decided to show up. Normally, I would wrinkle my nose for my sake, but be happy for our daughter. Last night though, I couldn't go because I couldn't get off work in time. My DH took my SD and my youngest DD while my oldest DD rode the team bus. Ding Dong showed up and headed for my DH. When he got there he demanded that my youngest go sit with him. DH said ok she can stay with you until after the game. No problem.

How bad did I mess up?

I am so trying to make sure I continue to do the right thing by my DD's and their relationship with their father and future stepmom. Sometime's it's so hard to not let my frustration with Ding Dong show. I seriously do not want my feelings for Ding Dong to cloud their feelings or perceptions of him (he will do that enough on his own). Then there are times, like this last week, where I feel like I have failed so bad. I can not make up my mind if I have let my daughters see how I feel about him and all the crap he pulls or have they seen it themselves.
