I just wanted to say Hi to you all...I found this website awhile ago, but decided to Join just now. I think it's a Great place for people to vent and get advice, and different perspective on different day-to-day issues. I am a SM as well...I love my SD very much. Her BM wasn't successful in alienating her from from her dad and me....God knows she tried! I've known my now DH for 7 years and at times it's been a roller coaster...we never know when a New Blow-Up is gonna happen...But lately she is on this "Co-Parenting" high...Fingers crossed it lasts! There has been no Nasty e-mails, insults etc etc.
Maybe she finally realized she has NOTHING to do with DH's life anymore, can't control anything and what she was doing was only harming her own daughter. My SD Loves spending time with us...was never rude to me, is always polite...and we have lot of fun together. . My DH and I are on the same page as far as parenting goes so that a huge plus as well...And I am so thankful for that....Especially after reading some of your posts here. BM is a different story...But right now things are calm so I'll leave it at that....I hope you all have a great Christmas...My only advice is...Try to disengage if things are bad...it's the only thing you Can do.
