BM cancels yet another visit with the son she "loves so dearly"
Since this new visitation order has been in place. BM has had the opportunity to have 8 visits. Of those 8 possible visits, she has cancelled half of them as well as spoke with DH about reducing the time from 5 to 3 hours because "SS gets bored." Oh what a caring and loving mother! I had the pleasure of sitting in a doctor's office waiting room with SS yesterday for over an hour and half with only a cheap McDonald's happy meal toy and conversation with me to occupy him and he never once was bored.
This latest excuse is that she is having car trouble that won't be fixed by tomorrow. At the beginning of last year, she had a brand new car (an ugly ass car just as ugly and wide as she is). She didn't need a new car just a repair on the car DH had given her when they split. However, like a child, when BM's toy broke she didn't want to fix it she wanted a new one. Her twin brother, yes that's right there are 2 of that rotten bitch, bought her a car in his name since her credit was shot so the notes would be low. She was living/mooching off of her mother, contributing absolutely nothing to the household, paying absolutely nothing for SS as he lived with us and when she did exercise her visits (which she didn't for the majority of 2010 into spring of 2011)we would buy or give her anything he could have needed during his time with her, and had a pretty descent job that DH got her before they divorce. Right after getting the car, she moved over 40 miles away from "her" son. She was not paying her brother the notes for the car nor was she paying for the insurance causing flags to be put on his license. Eventually, she was fired from her job for missing so much work dicking around with her druggy/violent bf. Her brother finally grew a pair and took the car away from her. Since then, she has been driving her bf's car, a little dented kia that has something wrong with the driver's side door that the fat bitch has to climb her ugly ass across from the passenger's side. (I would love to see that! DH saw it and said it is just as funny as it sounds)
Yes, the car is a piece of shit, but I really don't think there is anything wrong with it. However, if there is something wrong with the car, why can't her bf's mom who they live with drop her off and pick her up from the supervised visitation place, why can't she catch a taxi, why can't her nosey, 2-faced, friend who has forced her way into this situation bring her, why can't her mother bring her especially since she told SS she would be going with her to the visit. There are so many ways to get something done if you actually want it to get done. DH and I, especially me, have jumped through hoops and hellfire for this kid. She wants to play the loving, caring mother in court, all the while "her" son is merely an after thought if he is even a thought. He is nothing, but an inconvenience to her. While most if not all who read this see this most latest visitation cancellation as more proof that she simply does care about him nor truly wants these visits, the court or the G.A.L.s for SS probably won't see it that way. The Hearing Officer will probably chalk it up as one more shaft that this poor innocent woman has been given in the past 2 1/2 years of hell that we have put her through.
A little side note:
After church we let SS7 play on the playground. I overheard him saying "fall, fall, fall, fall!" while looking at a little kid playing on the jungle gym. I gave him the disapproving mom face and told him to stop and he jumped on the swing in a huff and stomped towards us pouting with the most hateful look directed at me. I'm not the evil little bastard wishing a kid to get hurt, especially when his little chunky ass is always the one tripping and falling, so why the hell is he giving me that look? I have never seen a kid get so hatefully mad at you when they do something wrong.

I'm so sorry for you and for
I'm so sorry for you and for SS I'm a custodial stepmom to two teenage SDs whose BM frequently does this to them too. She'll get them all excited about her finally making an effort to see them then tell them at the last minute that she has found something (and often, some guy) better to do.
Is your SS in counseling? I think he knows even at his young age that his mom rejected him.
Best of luck to both of you.
The good thing is that he
The good thing is that he hasn't been happy about the visits, so finding out he doesn't have to go is a happy development. In fact, we usually have to fight with him every weekend to even get dressed and then to get into the car. He hates that our weekends get screwed up. These visits have wrecked our lives. Since they started in late August, we have not been able to go to church because we have had cub scouts or birthday parties or some activity for him on Saturdays and then the visits are on Sunday so we haven't been able to make it to any of the services. On the weeks she cancelled, something would always arise on Sunday that we had to do. Today was our first opportunity to go. The message was about not making your spouse or child your idol and not making your identity be found in them. It was definitely something I needed to hear as I have given up and devoted my entire life to them and often question what my identity is now.
I'm not so naive as to think he may not still feel rejected, but he is the center of our life and knows it so it shouldn't hurt him that bad. We don't do ANYTHING without him. He's has so much of our attention, it's amazing he isn't sick of us yet. He is constantly told or made aware of how much we love him and how much we love spending time with him.
SS is currently not in counseling, but will be soon, the therapist he was seeing upon hearing my BM touched him inappropriately and did something to his rectum causing bleeding for a week said "I believe that she touched him, but that's his mom and she can do that. Read this pamphlet to him and if she does it again, then I will report it." Needless to say I wanted to punch her in the face and just couldn't allow someone who will not report something that she is legally obligated to report or even take such a disgusting thing seriously, that I could not let her be around or advise my son on his life and problems.
