Frustration continues!

As I sit here this morning, I am remembering the pain was DH was experiencing last night. The tears were welled up in his eyes about his oldest daughter. He told me how he was trying to convince himself that it was no big deal, so he had not told me. On Monday, he had talked to his BD13. He asked how her weekend was and she said "great, I went golfing with Uncle Mike!" Well, it doesn't seem like this may be upsetting.

Do you have anxiety attacks over BM?

I am going to have to pick up SD's in Georgia in June for the 5 wk summer visit. Facing BM gives me anxiety attacks. My SIL and Aunt in law are going to join me for the 3hr drive, but I can still feel the anxiety ALREADY. Shortly after DH and I were married, BM informed DH that I was to stay in the car at the exchange, that she couldn't deal with it. The exchanges have proven to be difficult emotionally, and DH felt that it sent the wrong message to the girls if I remained in the car, since I never had previously.

Trying to stay positive

As my CH returned from his visit in Georgia over the weekend with his BD's, he came back disappointed again. He met with his eldest BD's therapist, who is supposed to be helping her with her anger issues toward him. Well, that was a bust. I guess the therapist has not been able to get her to talk about WHY she is angry with her BD. Then, the weekend progressed with the BD's just being brats off and on, mostly the oldest. They are 7 and 13. After spending this weekend, he is considering skipping the weekend visitations because there is nothing good out of it.
