ExH drama over at least!

My kids SM called to let me know that they had met with an attorney and basically that unless they had proof I was neglecting or abusing my kids that a change isn't going to happen. She told me that they told the lawyer I was a good mom and that the kids were loved and treated well. He said then no judge is going to move kids to another state based on a teenagers whims. 

ExH is bringing the CO we agreed on when he comes to pick up our kids next weekend. I am so glad this is over. 

Now, if court for SS will go this smoothly I will be one happy woman! 

SS21 has a FRIEND!!!

I am just so tickled I have to share!

So, BS asked to have his 2 best friends stay the night last Friday- those kids might as well live at our house every weekend. I say of course. SS then pipes up that he might have a friend come over Saturday. He has said this a number of times but no one ever comes, so I just say ok great and leave it at that.

Since I caused a stir...

First- I love you ladies! I understand CriticalThinker is a girl with some divorce and daddy issues, exactly what I am trying to prevent with my own child.

 

The therapist meeting went well. She agreed that is looks like an attempt at alienation and it is about money. I agreed with her that no one would want to be in the triangle that my exH is in- trying to keep his wife happy and having to now communicate with me. She agreed that I should stop all communication with SM that is related to visitation, custody or child support. 

Trying so hard to not be HCBM

I am really struggling with my ex. Since I did not agree to reduce child support there is now a new game they are playing where they are promising things to my daughter to go live with them. 

I'm sorry, but I have issues with that. I have been the one raising my kids for their entire lives. When we were married he was home maybe one week a month. He has been a long distance parent ever since. She has her whole life here. Friends, my whole family, schools, sports, medical specialists (3 different Dr's for her migraines). 

BM just attempted to file a restraining order

Seriously. We have 0 communication with her other than for travel plans for SS- which she doesn't respond to any way. Nothing harassing at all.

We are 1300 miles away.

She is grasping at some straws! Our attorney just texted to let me know. The judge didn't sign it. Out attorney's words "It's dumb as hell. Have a beer for me tonight. I will have the details tomorrow."

BM1 Just sucks

I know I don't post about her much, she is mostly non-existent. 

Last night I was talking to SS21 about who had called him with Happy Birthday's- Of course my family called and sung happy bday (we all do it) which he thought was weird and off key LMAO. He talked to MIL and got texts from SIL's. 

SS's 21st Birthday

SS's birthday is today. DH is working one of his 24 hr shifts (he can't get out of it). We are doing a family dinner on Friday with my whole family for him. I just feel guilty not doing anything this evening for him! 21 is supposed to be a big deal.

He has no friends, my kids are with their dad for spring break, so it would just be the 2 of us. 

Really Struggling with SSstb21

(Sorry this is longer than I thought it was going to be and really just a vent- nothing can really be done right now.)

SS20 (21 in 5 days) has been HORRIBLE to live with the last few weeks. 

I was tossing some of it up to SS16 coming to town, season changes, my kids schedules have been crazy with their dad closer and online school they are doing a lot of back and forth. But wow did things come to a head last night!

We have given SS 3 "chores" that he is responsible for.
