Future MIL thinks I am overreacting and making a big deal out of nothing

SituationalTourettes's picture

Everything's still lousy but now I have the future MIL to contend with. It's just never ending bs.

Short update: Counselling commenced with FSD16 and FSS13. Some minor progress. Counselor thinks BM is a "lazy mom". No kidding. However except for FSS13 at least treating me in a civil manner, not much changed. FSD16 still avoiding me and allowing her mother and older sister to practice the PASing.

Blunders and Plot Reveals - update on my drama with Skids

SituationalTourettes's picture

FDH finally got some kind of "real" response from FSD16 about what's upsetting her so badly. It still doesn't make sense to me but I have to acknowledge her fears. This would be long so I am going to sum it up a little about what led finally to the phone call Wednesday night they had as well as bring you all up to date.

After 5 years, FSKs ask their father to break up with me and move out

They waited until my bios and I went to church on Sunday and then they sat my fiancé down and demanded he break up with me immediately and move out. Apparently, although there's been no major events or change in status quo except for me disengaging as much as possible, they "hate" me. They tried to use our own words against us. My fiancé and I agreed way back in 2009 when we started dating that we would end it if neither of us got along with the other's kids or the kids didn't get along. From day one, those kids were buddies and had a blast.

Anyone else have a teen SD they were once good friends with but now you've been sidelined?

I thought everything would return to "normal" after all the bs that started in the beginning few months of the year (see earlier blogs) with FSD16. Well, what counts as normal in our lives. Nope. It's been gradual but I've been slowly phased out as a meaningful adult in her life. She is becoming like her older sister now, just my fiancé's daughter. I used to get texts and emails, even just random goofy pics. She rarely talks to me unless I start a conversation.

And in this corner, FSS weighing 100 lbs, versus the older but more experienced FDS!

:jawdrop: FSS12 and FSD16 got in an actual fistfight last Friday night apparently and BM didn't discipline either of them over it. Nice.

FDH saw FSD16 last night for weeknight visit. FSS didn't go because he had basketball tryouts at his middle school. Before they even left BM's driveway, FSD is telling FDH all about fight. FDH had no idea anything had happened which we both found really odd as he had been told useless crap about kids constantly over last four or five months from BM yet two of his kids get in an actual physical fight and he never hears a peep from any of them.

Apparently I'm still the Wicked Stepmother

Thought all this bs with FSD16 was done. Nope, lucky me, Precious Mommy is at it again and making me the devil when I've done nothing since the last dustup with her back in what, January? I can't keep track of the whining anymore.

Even though we had it all out in beginning of February, screaming and arguing and putting it all out about how FSD16 is supposedly all upset that I'm just so evil to her precious victim mother and somehow I am now controlling her father (after 5 years? what? was I just warming up?) apparently FSD16 is still pissed off at me.

My bio kids rock

Anyone ever feel secretly super proud when your bio kid does something that truly shows what a wonderful person they are growing up to be and they end up making the skids look lousy in comparison?

My 3 kids were asked by my FDH to make handmade cards for his grandmother who is turning like 90. They were more than happy to. My BS16 even wrote her an original poem and using his computer, translated it into her native language. He helped his sisters do similar translations on their own cards. They did it without hesitation and were very proud with the results.

Thankful newest hurdle over

Weekend turned out better than expected.

Practiced disengement Friday. Weird but worked well in keeping me calm. Saturday was interesting in that while I wasn't planning on attending basketball game for FSS12 due to BM, FSS asked me to go along. If it meant that much to him, I was going. All 3 of my bios came too with FDH and myself and of course FSD15 who was very tense. Precious Mommy sat in front of us w Doofus BF and we simply ignored each other. After game she was outta there like a shot even leaving BF behind on his crutches lol.

Vacations and Skids

We go on a week long family vacation every year. This July will be the first trip where I will be somewhat disengaged from the two SKs (12 and 16 at that time). Also going is obviously my FDH and my 3 biokids (8, 14, and 17 at that time. In general, the kids all love each other and I normally have no issues w SKs until recently.

What do you all do? Do you go? Not go? Separate vacations? Go but try to spend time apart?
