Counting our blessings

I love dogs's picture

We had some very good friends over last night to BBQ and they brought their adorable puppy to play with our dogs. SD was over and dinner was awesome.

We got to talking. Our friends are on their second and third marriages and each have 3 kids from their previous marriages. The husband's first wife moved his daughters over 12 hours away before custody was established and apparently he couldn't file kidnapping charges. He was in the Navy so I don't know if BM used active military status to move away.

He is legally not allowed access to their school records and isn't even allowed to call them. Even lawyers have advised him that he needs to stay away from his girls until they are 18 because the mom is such high conflict. She accused him of physical and sexual abuse. All claims were unfounded. Currently, his daughters are 15 and 11.

I think our BM is evil and crazy but she's not THAT evil and crazy. BM is allowing DH more time than is ordered so I don't know if that's dangerous or not. I helped SD12 with press on nails that she picked out yesterday and braided her hair really pretty for school today. I also gave her a pedicure. I have always wanted a daughter so SD is like my little doll. BM is not girly at all so I know SD loves being pampered.

I guess DH is grateful that BM at least couldn't push him out like she initially tried to do. I asked DH if he thinks BM will ever apologize for screwing him in court and making sure that he lost out on valuable time with SD. He laughed because I already know the answer. Let's just say he isn't holding his breath.

First and foremost! I love puppies!!! I keep trying to convince DH we need more. He laughs and rolls his eyes and reminds me my black one is clingy with me and would get jealous so fast, lol. Then he also reminds me the white one just loves cuddling and I only have so much cuddling space for these two and my SD's little one (I don't like little dogs too much, the dog loves me though, lol)

Second that guy's BM sounds completely insane. Ours is bad too, but omg that one is even worse... I really hope something gets figured out... He basically lost his kids because she's insane Sad Especially since she's so toxic she'll probably poison the girls' minds so he won't be able to form the relationship after either. That's so sad! My DH would be crushed if the girls got taken away and he didn't get to see them again.. So I can only imagine how this guy is feeling!

I have 2 dogs, one is deaf and always has to be right next to one of us and is very protective of kids. Last night, my female slept in SD's room in the bed with her. SD said she almost got pushed off of the bed Blum 3 Someone posted a 4 year old pitbull this weekend on FB. He killed 2 coyotes out of self defense so the family took him to the shelter because they "feared for their safety".

We are extremely adamant (me especially) in making sure that our pups are well exercised and fed. They also sleep in our bed at night so there literally wouldn't be enough room for a 3rd. My heart breaks for that boy, though. He looked so scared in the picture and he is so beautiful:(

Our friend was in tears (we had been drinking) and we had to stop talking about it. Isn't it so true that nice guys finish last? He never assaulted his girls in any way and his ex completely defamed him. I'm sure it's soul crushing to have your own lawyer tell you that it isn't even worth pursuing contact/ visitation because the ex has poisened the dad/ daughter relationship. That should be illegal but she's getting away with it!! Maybe she's so messed up that she really is convinced that he abused them when in fact, she's the abuser.

Our BM literally asked DH to sign his rights to SD away now she thinks they're besties. I hate that woman.

So the dog protects the family from coyotes and gets the boot... Mine brought a dead coyote to me once lol. I pet him and then got rid of the smelly dead thing... Chances are it probably went after SD's little rat dog. Because this dog is like derpy friendly most of the time, even with other animals. Like seriously, It comes in the yard its fair game, Mine have killed squirrels before too, but I don't doubt them for a second. Black Doggo stays right by the kids whenever they're playing outside and White Doggo patrols, one goes in front and one in back if they split up. I know FOR A FACT they will keep the Skids safe. I have an air mattress right now, But those two curl up on the couch at night, Correction, one curls up and the other sprawls out on his back and looks dead, lol. I take my pups on runs with me and am careful about what they eat! They both also play with me lol. They're silly. I super hope that pit finds a good home!

That's awful, normally it would count as alienation, but its probably how severe the charges are and the fact the BM has poisoned the kids minds... If she tells them it happened enough and plants false memories they've probably started buying into some of them for now... Nice guys do finish last, my DH forgave BM for cheating several times during the marriage... Come to find out she had been sleeping around sporadically since right after SD8 was born and had had some rather serious affairs while married, including one over Skype with someone currently deployed with DH, which means it wasn't even the usual military spouse excuse of being lonely, she's just a w****.. if SD4 didn't look basically exactly like DH I'd question who's kid she was. Some men just have soft hearts and truly just want what's best for the Skids, so some BM's just make it backfire because they start taking advantage and poisoning it all. It's a control thing. And it sucks. Tell your friend I really sincerely hope it all works out for him and that he finds a way to have a relationship with his kids in the future!
