First of all, I am so frustrated right now that I kept quiet the entire morning. I've no one to share this frustration with thus this post.
Second of all, my SK doesn't hate me and I don't hate him. In fact, he thanked me once for being good to him and for taking care of him-- I appreciate that.
But I have complaints, too, like any other stepmoms out there.
I don't know why I even try to talk to DH about SD16. I really don't. It ends one of three ways... him telling me what I want to hear just so I'll shut up, but he doesn't follow through... in a huge argument... or him just walking away.
Ok, so... on Monday I bought a key entry lock for our bedroom door. It was installed Wednesday night and I had the 2 most peaceful days at work.... Not to worry if everything in my bedroom is where it is supposed to be put such an ease on my mind...
Hubby was gone this week and needless to say - since SD and I are not talking to each other - it was beyond peaceful... No arguing (i don't challenge her due to my disengagement) since Hubby is not there to tell her what to do.
My drama with my ex is over at least the parenting plan. Most likely I will have to file contempt of court charges but the major expense of the lawyer is done. My ex even asked me was it worth it?? Let's see he has hasn't paid a dime to raise our 2 kids in the last 2 years while they lived with me full time and got pissed when I took him to modify the plan and for CS. So I am going from $0 a month to $400. He works part time and failed to get the magistrate that the CS should be based on him working part time.
I cannot for the life of me wrap my head around the reasoning of my DH's ex(the BM). DH is constantly shuffled around based upon her current mental status/opinion of him. One month(and sometimes for extended periods)he's the hated bastard that is THE cause of everyone's problems. At that time he can do nothing right and never does enough. The more people she can get to join in scorn of him the better.
My wife actually left ME speechless this evening........ and that rarely happens.
She was watching one of those Wonderful Wedding shows on one of the Chick Channels when she turned to me and said "You got of cheap on our wedding Rags!" (We eloped to Lake Tahoe). I commented in my snarky smart ass teasing sort of way that there was nothing cheap about my Wife and that I had spent orders of magnitude more on her during our 15yrs of marriage than the $25K my first I-Ls spent on my first wedding to the psycho frigid ice queen.
FH has been trying to get me out with friends of mine that I've had for a long time but I've been hesitant. I have been hesitant because I stay out way too long...feel like crap the next day and they are all single and all want me to be their "wingman" which is really not right, now that I'm committed. FH doesn't understand why I don't want to go out with my single friends anymore but I see that I need to explain it to him...yes, I need to keep in contact with my friends but I just dont feel the need to go "out" (which is always a bar or night club) with them!
We've decided to go to counseling...I'm so exhausted. It's SS14 birthday party today and I'm not up for it. I'm so tired of fighting. I told my FH that we need counseling, because I don't want to live like this anymore...he agreed, but I can see the sadness in his eyes. He wants me to be stronger and be able to handle this without counseling, but I can't. I've barely slept this week and I'm so not up to do this party. I'm really only staying at my house for my FH. I hate feeling like this, but I don't want to even see SS14.
UGHHH!!! i can barely type cuz im shaking mad...
I just cant take it anymore. I have been married to my husband for one year. During this year its been one dramatic thing after another. First I have three children, they were all suppose to come and live with us. My husband has five children who were living with both him and their mother. When he married me, his exwife went bananas their friendly relationship has deteriorated and now she refuses to care for the children and brought them to our house and dropped them off and has never returned.
