My chuckie of a SS has caused so much trouble. Lately my DH and I cant get along...usually when I bring up the SS issues. the BM lives 800 miles away. She doesn't make any effort. She usually makes excuses not to get him for the summer. Now that she's had another kid with some random married guy, she puts even less effort into being a mother to the SS. Of course he worships her ( funny how that works). My DH got custody when SS was a baby cause BM didn't care or want it. He is a good dad but works all day, I resigned as a nurse to raise the kids but I want my career back at this point. I hate saying it but I had to make it clear to DH that *if* we ever divorced,im not a lay down egg donor like his ex wife and not to expect for me to give up our baby together. It bothers me that he thinks I ever would. Hopefully it never ends in divorce anyway. Yesterday I packed SS crap and drove him to his grandma's. DH came home and I said yep he's gone for at LEAST 2 weeks. Talk about my blood pressure dropping back to normal and my mood lightening. Too bad it cant last forever

I think most kids will love their moms even if they know deep down that they truly are pieces of crap, but will take the anger out on everyone else. Is SS getting professional help for dealing with BMs abandoning him?

not as of right now no therapy. I set up an appt after speaking to my older son's therapist about the behavior- he agreed his actions are not normal. Unfortunately due to my ss's extremely manipulative ways im scared to even let him go to the therapist. Exp; on family picture day in front of everyone he told his grandma he was hungry because i didnt feed him ( complete lie) I cooked pancakes for him and my son. I was mortified and felt put on the spot. When his father comes home from work he tries to get him alone and I over here...: mom is mean...she didnt let me play outside when i wanted..she only gave me one sandwhich and i wanted two etc etc etc. His bm technically was in and out of the picture when he was an infant so he doesnt recall that, now when she breaks promised to come get him she makes excuses like " oh i'll get you next time and we'll go on a boat and i'll buy you transformers" so in his child mind that's all he cares about, however all me and DH see is the b* lapsing on her responsibilites of getting him and having no good excuse. Honestly im easier and tread lightly with ss thinking it will help but it doesnt
