My SS15 is at his BM's place for 6 weeks every summer. I married his dad when he was 3 years old. The BM is a piece of work. Mostly, SS15 goes to his mom's every other weekend. When he does, i know several things for certain. 1. He should not take anything (ie..backpack, clothes, ANYTHING) that I should expect to get back. 2. During that time, he will not shower or brush his teeth, even if he pees during the night. 3. He is responsible for nothing there, and is super happy about this!! SO....During the summers, he goes to his moms for 1/2 of the summer.

Sooooo..my 14 y/o special needs step son came home from the weekend visit to his moms. I did not even know that he was home except that our 3 bio kids (9, 8, and 6) said that he was home. We were in the kitchen making dinner together at the time. I sent one of the boys, after a while to get him to set the table. My 8 y/o went in and said..."Mom wants you to set the table" ..All I heard back is..She's not my mom!!! WTH...I have raised this boy for almost 11 years....ELEVEN his 14 years!! I always expect attitude, but will NEVER allow disrespect!!

As I was cleaning today in my closet, I came across 2 different letters. Im not sure when they were written..could be up to a year old, but they will give you perspective into just what my life feels like at any moment!! One was written by my SS13. I have raised him since he was 3 when he could not even feed himself and still had diapers..THREE!!!!! He has severe ADD and reactive detatchment disorder. He struggles in school socially and academically despite rigorous modifications and meds.
