Friday at last. This is a short one.
Eff off to:
- Cancer. Four days ago, I attended the funeral of a dear friend's mother, who passed away from lung cancer. Non-smoker. This coming Monday, I will once again don funeral attire to attend the funeral of a life-long friend's mother, who passed from brain cancer. A cousin's husband passed last week from - can you believe it - cancer. They were traveling at the time so the funeral will be weeks away. CANCER SUCKS.
Wishing you a stress-free, healthy, and enjoyable weekend.
We have my step children 75% of the time. We were already living 8 hrs apart from bio mom. July 2023 bi mom decided to take a new job in another state that is an additional 3 hours away. Bi mom served my DH modification petition. She is requesting that child exchange be switched to halfway to her new home. Also to lower child support since she is no longer working her second job. The child support form she filled is missing the health insurance paid by my DH. Its included in the current child support. 6+ months went on and she didnt do anything with the case.
When DW is getting ready to visit her family she starts using voice inflections, speech paterns, and facial expressions that are a family thing. Beyond the IL clan family tone, inflections, wording, etc... are the additional and amplified version mY SIL uses. DW adopts a few things that are very similar to what my thief assed POS lying weasle of an SIL does though without the whiney "I'm spe.....cial" toddler thing that the POS SIL does.
Im also thinking on my week with the kids. Usually my ex provides some drives. I don't want to be dependant on him considering his controlling tendencies so I am considering just telling him that I will drive my son back and forth from school to my house every day. Usually I helped on his weeks and he helped on mine.
So it became very apparent last night that my ex is not allowing the kids to drive his new beater car over and that he is forcing the kids to not come over Tuesdays on his week like they had been. (last post). Because all of the sudden he allowed my daughter to use this car on the Tues only so she could drive back to his house after and not stay over
I read some old texts. Winterglow was 100 percent right. The text from him said if I didn't want to split on a car to use between our houses he would buy them a car for use at his place only....... So there you have it
The kids have not been allowed to drive the car (that was supposed to help and save drives) over to my house. It's gone so far that they have not been allowed to drive this car even to school and back from his house on his week. He would drive them to the mall and make them take a city bus and then pick them up. I guess so they couldnt come here or do anything else after school it seems
Well, I was wrong. SD62 did not take DH's $500 bail refund. The 3 of us went to the Courthouse today and they cut a check for it while we waited. They said, "It should have been mailed" but who knows what happened.
SD told me DH kept saying "just tell me the truth, you cashed it, right?". So, anyway, it ended well.
She didn't look good at all, is having multiple health issues, hands shaking. DH was in raptures, "My 2 favorite people!". Altho she and I were lukewarm, he insisted on going out to lunch.
On and on.....
Her messages to me are now nameless. Did something happen?
You might recall that DH bailed SD62, aka The Grifter, out of jail to the tune of $500. She was somehow involved with a credit card scam but the charges were dropped in March. So, where's the $500?
One of the rules at our house is "no electronics at bedtime." SS13 puts his various gadgets in the hall and DH puts them away for the night, then puts them back out when he gets up in the morning. There have been instances of SS holding onto one, lying about whether or not he brought it to our house -- or just neglecting to put one out to see if DH notices.
