TGIT - Monday was a bust

Tireddmomm's picture

Yesterday when DH and SS return after school pickup, I notice SS asking DH to unlock his tablet over and over without a breath in between while DH is on the phone with a customer (DH has a flexible job and can work from home as needed). I ignore the situation due to my nacho mentality and leave DH to handle it. Eventually DH snips at him and tells him that he's on the phone, has to find something else to do for now and not to interrupt him while he's on the phone. SS proceeds to watch TV for a while but comes to see if I would unlock his tablet. I ask, do you have homework? He said um....

Advice - Stalking and Harassment

In my last blog post entry I discussed how DH and I were in the process of going no contact with MIL. We have gone (mostly) no contact since April with a few slip ups on DHs side entertaining her threats (like she's going to get us evicted from our rental, take custody of SS, get DH fired) and harassing him via texts/calls. Since then, she has been blocked on both of our phones and social media accounts. MIL has tried other ways to "get to us" through sending gifts to the kids through BIL or trying to relay messages through her boyfriend to provoke us to let her see SS.

SS & MIL Drama Continues...

Tireddmomm's picture

MIL has been a major issue since I can remember. MIL has an unhealthy bond with SS7 and thinks she calls the shots. DH finally reached his limit with her before Easter. She lost her mind when SS increased behavioral issues were discussed because she blames us for "causing" it and not parenting how she wants us to parent. How I am not motherly enough to SS.

SS Behavioral Issues

The title right up there, is the bane of my existence. So many problems. I've ranted a bit on here about them before. SS6 (about to be 7) is FINALLY diagnosed with ADHD as of the beginning of this month. SS has now been taking medication for roughly 2 weeks and so far... it helps a little. No miraculous change. I've had a hunch that there is another diagnosis we are missing due to his anger outbursts and disrespect which can sometimes turn into aggression if the wind blows just right. SS will be going to counseling soon to address other issues.

Holiday BM Drama

My SS is 6 and has been physically away from BM for almost 4 years, with the occasional visit once a year. DH has full physical custody. BM decided moving far away to be with some guy she met online on Call of Duty was more important than being close to her son. 

New Here* Long Post

Haven't had luck finding a supportive, non judgmental group in the past to vent to. I hope this time around is different and I have a safe space to share my feelings. There is a long story to this all as I'm almost 4 years into my step mom journey. I'll try to make it short and sweet to get to my current debacle... which I'm sure this post will end up wayyy to long.
