In BM's self-serving plan to "get healthy" in a town 17 miles away from our town (which incidentally did not succeed as she has all the same behaviors and issues she had in this town- narcissists can run but they can't hide), she neglected to think of what would happen in the event that she got tired of paying the FABULOUS rent that comes along with Get Healthy Fabulous Town and is now looking at her lease running out in three months.

It looks like the twins (my stepsons) may end up enrolling in my kids' district. A wonderful district. I like having the buffer. I like my kids having the buffer. Further and more importantly, the twins are devastated at the thought of being ripped away from their friends in that district. Poor kids. There has been even more drama with them and BM this week, resulting in their being here once again for most of the week. This woman truly has no idea how to parent. (I'm not saying that parenting is not a really hard job- but she is truly an awful mother because she won't get the help she needs and can't see reality. I'm preaching to the choir- I know that many of you have the same type of BM.)

I am dreading mixing the two worlds and even more I am dreading dealing with this woman in my town. Guess some things really are a blessing and a curse. DH has really resented the distance he has had to drive for the past seven years but now I see that it was a bargain.
