Seriously.. I am looking at apartments online today and thinking "fuck this shit"..

Let me start with 3 years ago.. my then ss9 had a report due. A report he didn't tell anyone about until 7pm the night before it was due.

DH told him to sit down and not get up until it was done. When he finally completed it, it was almost 9pm and DH looked it over and wasn't happy with it, so he "edited" it.. uhmm, no.. he rewrote the damn thing! I warned him, not to. I told him not to type it up for him.

He didn't listen and ss9 got in trouble at school because it was obvious a 4th grader didn't do the report.

Now, about last night.. I had to take ss12 to my daughters soccer game because he was grounded. He was grounded because he has a report due today and he didn't tell us about it/start on it until Tuesday. He had all weekend to start it.

Now I must admit.. ss12 busted his ass and had it about 85% done as of 5:30 yesterday when we left for the game. So, in my opinion, he was putting in the work and making it right.

We get home at 7:30 and walk in to see DH, at the computer, working.. on ss12's report!

I'm like (inside my head of course) "holy shit - this is gonna be bad".. and do what any intelligent person would do - exit the area quickly.

I decide to take a shower - the sound of running water will muffle the yelling.

When I get out, DH is storming into the master bedroom - pissed as hell. I hear ss12 go into his room, while crying like someone shot his dog and slamming the door..

Oh great.. here we go again.. another night of misery brought to you by "DH and SS12".. fuck my life..

Dh goes on a tirade about him being a disrespectful punk.. blah blah blah..

I listen to his rant, but do not agree with him one bit.

Now, if you read any of my posts.. ss12 and I do not like each other, so in order for me to stick up for him, it's gotta be legit...

I look at DH and ask him "do you know why he is pissed?"... I get "yeah, he thinks I changed his paper, but he wouldn't even look at it. I was only helping/editing." I almost laughed.. and said "yea, and you "helped him" when he wasn't even here - that's wrong."

I totally understand why ss12 is pissed - however, he handled things like he usually does. incorrectly - threw a fit, yelled and was a disrespectful asshat. Which sent dh into a bad mood and well "that's what you get."

To quote most lovely infomercials "but wait - there's more!!"

I suggest starting over - trying a better approach. Somehow I get DH and ss12 in the same room and try to moderate this mess.

HA! I - AM - A - DUMBASS.. for thinking this will work with these two morons!

No sooner does ss12 sit down with his beady eyes and snarling face when out pops "you're ignorant" to his dad. yup.. you read that right!

DH sees red.. begins a verbal attack about respect and not talking to him like that (gee, maybe if you would have started this expectation of respect, oh.. 10 years earlier we wouldn't be where we are at this very moment) and it gets worse by the second.. I've had enough and try to speak over them to get them to stop.. maybe I should have thrown a bucket of cold water on their asses.. DH turns to me and says "shut your mouth" - oh, yes, he did! I stop dead and just stare at him.. he is not my husband.. I have no damn clue who he is..
He then storms out of the room.. and says "fucking bitch" and leaves.. the house.

I look at ss12, who is I am sure pretty satisfied with his work and say to him - go to the desk, sit down, finish your report and go to bed. Do you understand me? He slowly walks over and sits down.

I go upstairs and sit down - pissed and ready to throw something, anything, at the wall..

DH comes home about 10 minutes later.. luckily, my daughter was at her dads this week.. so I go into her room and lock the door. I sleep there for the night - well, not really sleep. DH tried to talk to me and I refused.

He tried again this morning when I was getting ready for work. I refused to talk to him except to say - leave me alone.

I am done. I do not care about his excuses. I do not care about his justifications.. I do not care about him.

His kids ruin our life with their constant shit and have taken him to a place he does not need to be mentally - me as well. We are both on the edge of sanity because of this kid (ss12) and are now turning on each other.

Time to move along and never look back.
