Yes, I acknowledge it - I hate my SS. He's the devil. That feels better.

BUT, I have not forced him out of my home. Quite the opposite, I have welcomed him into my home far more than his own mother ever did. So, why am I now getting text from DH saying things like: "I've talked to (his) grandmother and I will drop him off with her Sunday so he will be gone after this weekend. I thought you should know that." To the untrained eye, it may not look rude but I know the tone assigned to this message.

SS is Evil and BM doesn't want him but she does want the Child Support money...she always has...and until recently we always paid it. 7-months ago when we took resenditial custody of crazy SS the court essentially told BM how disgusted they were that she was such a horrid mother and that she would dare to think she should still get paid for a child that isn't even welcome in her home. Well, at that time DH and I agreed that after the 7 yrs of non-stop court battle with the loon, we couldn't emotionally or financially afford it anymore...if she decided to go back on what was resolved in court this time, that we would just let it go and stop this all the back and forth. Friday, of course BM calls demanding $400/month or she is taking us back to court.

DH explained to her yet again, that raising SS is incredibly expensive and we simply can't afford to raise him and pay her not to, so while he is doing much better with us than he ever did with her (ie, he hasn't tried to kill anyone in months) if she really intends to take us back to court then we won't fight it...if money is more important to you than you child then we will return him and you will get your money back. She wants the money...now DH seems to be blaming me. We argued most of the night last night and now he's still being snippy. Why, oh why is everything the evil Stepmother's Fault?
