My SO told me last night that he had a conversation with my SS about his BM. Apprently she cries so much and so loud that SS goes up to his room and plays video games or watches TV to drown it out. WHat kind of environment is that for him to grow up in? So frustrating when there is nothing we can do....FCS already told us they don't care about his 'well-being' only if he is being neglected or abused. And since BM maintains a roof over his head and food in his belly all is good in their eyes.

BM is buying an Xbox 360 for SS(9) for christmas...from what I've seen most of the games are rated higher than his age level. BM tends not to think of those things, she let him watch 'Robot Chicken' on TV, which is a very violent show. SS also talks about playing Halo, which is also a violent game. SS's father doens't seem to think that BM will let him play those games but I am concerned....would a call to Children's Services asking them to call BM and tell her not to let SS play Mature and Teen rated games be way out of line?

Hello....I need to vent! My SS bio Mom has bipolar and it seems it's in the bad stage right now. Things had been quiet for a couple of months but now she is back to all her usual crap. She blames me for the break down of the relationship between my boyfriend and his Step son (her bio child). I have never done anything to this kid, he's 21 now, but she has filled his head with lies about me and says he won't come over to see my BF because he hates me. My BF was his father in everyway since he was 4 and it bothers him that he won't come over, now we know why.
