I'm in a situation where my husband filed for divorce, I'm living in his house, and I'm not able to move out until there is a court order for spousal support. Throughout my marriage. I always felt like my husband and his daughter were too close. He always put me on the back burner, and she basically acts like his wife when she's here. I know it's not her fault, this is a parenting issue on my husband's part, but I can't help but feel resentful. I was never able to take my place as my husband's significant other/teammate because she was already standing in that spot.
SIL showed up. It is amazing how my brilliant wicked/scary smart bride instantly dumbs down her vocabulary and communication style to cater to SIL.
It is truly nauseating.
The content of discussion is amazingly brain dead. Controlling her kids crap, making decisions on their futures while setting them up for failure, etc..
And it has only been an hour and a half since they walked in from the airport.
So SD15 has told DH that she will be coming this weekend ( DH weekend to have her ) . The drive for DH if he leaves after rush hour traffic (after 5:30pm) is about 2 hours . Since BM has moved which has been about 4 years I think, DH has always met her around the same time which is can be a little late but the drive is a bit far . The earlier he has met BM was 7pm but with construction going on constantly he normally meets her around 8 .
Hi guys
Glad to found a forum for step parents. Im new to the forum, new to the US (arrived in Jun last yr w my 14 yo son) married to my husband after dating for 5 years and now the huge issue is with his 18 yo daughter.
Shes out of school and working short hours at a ramen shop with no plans of moving out.
May 2025 be a year of adventure, prosperity, calm, and meaning for you and those in your life who earn it.
Now for what I did during my Holiday season. We flew to mom and dad's the Friday before TG. We had a great time and visits with all but 2 of the Rags clan. Only SS and Nephew-1's DW were absent. Both are struggling with anxieties. Hopefully they will be in a better place by the 2025 EOY holidays and can join the gatherings.
T-minus 17 hours until SS12 returns to BMLand. While I love SS and enjoy spending time with him, these visits are becoming more and more taxing due to BM/GF interference.
Happy New Years Steptalkers. Mine was very dry and filled with what ifs. Quiet with a dash of Yellowstone.
If you recall this past Christmas LI admitted that she dropped out of college (with plans to maybe get a certificate as an EMT). DH took it a lot better than expected after a very brief period of lamenting.
In case anyone was wondering how it all shook out, we have (of course) come full circle. DH is now insisting that college is a "waste of time and money".
This, after years of calling other people (such as his nephews) losers for not going to college.
Silent Night
Happy Night
All was calm
All was bright
Skids were with cult-mommy
bundled up warm
DH and I were here
Free from their storm
We slept in heavenly peace
Oh, we slept in heavenly peace
Silent Night
Wonderful Night
All was quiet
All was nice
No glazed-over looks
when I tried talking
No rude behavior
or video (for BM stalking)
We slept in non-toxic peace
Oh, yea, we slept in non-toxic peace
Silent Night
Happy Night
All was calm
All was right
Yesterday Demon15 and SS18 were supposed to go back to Crazy's, since NYE and NYD are her days. SS can do whatever but he's following Demon's schedule. DH and I took a trip out of state for a few days- we left on NYE. DH talked to both skids and told them to lock up, but that they were going to Crazy's that day.
