I really am loosing my mind, i am still not married but living with HD and his Daughter. she is worse then ever, lying, stealing, ruining things. Today i grabbed her by her hair, i have never done that to anyone before. she is turning me into a different person. she told me yesterday that she wakes up every morning and thinks about how she can make cry, that when i am sad/mad it makes her feel good inside. she likes it when we yell at her because she knows we are unhappy.

idk know how to handle this

SD is at my mom because both HD and i had a doctors appointment's last night.

My mom was going to bring her over at 11 today but she was playing so my mom kept her longer, for some reson this annoyed HD so i called my mom and said that he was going to pick her up but that made him even more mad, and idk why, he dose this sometimes he gets so mad for no reason. he closes my door and says do what ever you want. i dont care if SD never comes back, she is his daughter and my family is willing to help out when he needs a break. If he dosent want one then fine, go get her.

What a shitty day!!

Day2 of disengaging went swimmingly. i was a tad annoyed about not school on friday but if i can keep up my disengaging tactics i think i will be okay. DH is dealing with a lot more parenting now and i am doing a lot less. so far its working well for me Smile

Stupid Public Schools!!

I just learned that SD doesn't have school on Friday.

Fridays are literally my only day off and i try to get all my ME stuff done. i go to school Monday through Thursday, and i work Saturday and Sunday, and now I'm stuck doing the one thing i don't want to do, on my only day off. Be alone with that little monster...

This has ruined my day. Sad

What a good day!

I started disengaging today, and honestly i was worried. i tired not to think about it. i did as planed this morning and just studied for my upcoming test at school until the monster was out of school, i picked her up. Drove home, put on my head phones and deep cleaned the kitchen. i could tell she didn't like it that i wasn't giving all my attention to her but i really didn't care she wasn't in any danger or causing and harm so i feel good about my choice

A new day!

Today is the first day i am going to start disengaging.

Im going to let her know we need to leave for school at 9am, and remind her to be ready by then and no other reminders. (usually i give her at least 5 reminders of when we need to leave, but she can read a clock she can manage her own time.)

Im going to be standing at the door at 9am and say i'm leaving with or with out you. if she is not ready she can walk. the school is only 8 blocks away, she will be fine, just late.

And then she is out of my hair until 330.

Im starting to hate my life...

I am new to this site, i found it trying to find some answers. I am engaged, and have been living full time with my soon to be SD for a year now. In the beginning i was told that she was a handful because she has ADHD and a heavy case of it at that. What i wasn't prepared for is that she is 9 years old with the education lvl of a 1st grader, she doesn't listen to anything you say, she cant even follow basic tasks (ie. using toilet paper after going the bathroom), I get letters and emails from the school saying she is billy.
