After months of actually getting along with this kid, he was being pleasant and downright nice at times, the rat bastard has returned. 

He spent the weekend trying to make Toddler (T) cry in any way he could, and when T would start cry, he’d start screaming in T’s face. All weekend, saying nasty things like, “I hope someday T climbs a tree and falls out of and gets hurt really bad, that would be funny.” “What would happen if you dumped hot coffee on T?” “Has T ever been bleeding before?” We went to a park, he was trying to kick his soccer ball and hit T in the legs to knock T down like a bowling pin because, “it’s funny to hurt T”. The whole “T is not my sibling!” Speaking to me, “I don’t have to listen to you, you’re not my family!” 

All of it has started back up. And guess what? BM is single again! Coincidence? Apparently her $$ BF broke up with her and the skids must have seen it, they said it was a few weeks ago. So now she’s single and in lockdown, no going out, no dating, no parents’ beach house to lure in the next sucker, so let’s ramp up the crazy on the kids again! She can’t stand to be alone and she can’t stand to spend a weekend at home, so she’ll be stirring the PAS pot again so HER kids want to BE WITH HER all the time! With nothing better to do, I’m expecting the emails to DH to start ramping up again too. She does this every.single.time. She’s single, she ramps up the crazy on the kids, buys them tons of stuff, takes them on all kinds of trips (well, that’s off for now), spends tons of time with them coddling them, then drops them when she gets with the next guy. The kids get shipped to her parents and then they cry when they’re here because they never get to see their mom, like it’s our fault.

Thank goodness I didn’t let my guard down with SStween. I was thinking of taking him for a visit to the local police station, they’re open during lockdown! Maybe one of the officers can put the fear of god into him since he won't listen to us. That probably wouldn’t go down well with DH.

SDteen is just not to be trusted, in one instance she’s appalled by SStween’s comments and behavior and stands up for T (“T is our sibling!”), and other times she laughs like with the soccer ball at the park, or tries to blame T for what SS is doing. No, the 3 year old is not to blame for crying when SS takes the favorite teddy holds it over his head screaming, “I’m going to rip your teddy’s head off!”

DH spent the weekend yelling at SS to stop whatever he was doing and taking away privileges (which there aren’t too many to go now), but he’s at his wits end as well. The kid was just out of control, told DH to f-off, doors slamming, calling DH a “rager” every time DH has to raise his voice because SS is ignoring him. Then SD chimes in and calls DH a “rager”. F them both. I’m so angry and disappointed and anxious. The PAS rollercoaster is a sh!t ride, I’d like to get off and take DH and T with me now.
