My journey with BM (long)

My journey with BM started back in 1997. When I first met my DH, he was divorced and semi-raising 2 girls. I really admired this about him, and found it an endearing quality. It really is what attracted me to him in the 1st place. In dating him, I would enquire about the BM…you know how it is, you’re curious. He would always tell me stories of how evil she was, etc. I just assumed that he was a bitter ex-husband seeing as how she left him for an affair. Being a product of a bitter divorce, and subsequent SM myself, I was determined to make it work with BM.

How do you feel about being a step parent?

I am doing some writing and have asked Dawn's permission to post questions here for input.....

So, how do you feel about being a step parent?

If someone asked you to define a step parent,(aside from the obvious answer) how would you define it? What would that definition look like for you?

Thanks for all your input!!!!

I thought that maybe I should update my life since my last post. Christmas was horrible as you may remember, but it has since gotten much better! I can't remember how much I posted last time, so I'll start from where I think I left off. The saturday after Christmas, DH asked if we could discuss SD16 moving back in. I was shocked at first, but the more he spoke, the more I understood. I told him the only way it would EVER happen is that she MUST agree to show me respect 24/7! I would no longer tolerate ANY type of disrespect in any form. That included MY RULES!

When will it all stop?????

Or will it ever? I guess that is the million dollar question, right? UGH! I am becoming so frustrated lately. IF you have read my previous blogs, you know why. Well, after SD left on Christmas Day to go to sugarmama's, I was hoping that the move would be permanent. No such luck! I told DH that I would ONLY allow her back in the home IF she understood that she MUST respect me in my home..... no growling at me when she is told to do something and NO smart mouthyness, etc. So, she came back Sunday night.......grrrrrr.

The Final Stand part deux

Ok so, Christmas basically SUCKED BIG time!
I guess I'll start where I left off. DH p/u all the kids from my dads and "talked" to SD about her attitude on the way home. She was nasty and made all kinds of crappy remarks. Nothing unusual right? So, he had to stop at the grocery store and left her in the truck to "think" about if she wanted to move back in w/sugarmama and to have her decision made by the time he came back.

The final stand....

seems like an apporpriate title for this blog. First, let me say that if you have read the previous 2 blogs I posted this week, you will better understand this one. Second, I would also like to say that I am a pretty laid back person and fairly easy to get along with and generally it will take a lot to get me mad, but once I reach that point....it's all over for you! So, this post may come off as me being quite a biotch to those of you who aren't familiar to my situation, but to those of you who are, hopefully you'll get a laugh. Here goes.............
