Valentine's Day

Endora's picture

Had it's moments. DH had to travel Saturday re some issues with his ailing Father-so we exchanged V gifts before he left (I got some flowers and a beautiful hand painted dark wood jewlery box).

That left me and Zippy (peacefully sleeping until noon-THEN Zip had to work from 12:30pm-9PM- Smile )

I had a girlfriend over for dinner and a chick flick-lots of fun-

The weekend got marginally better as Zippy had to work again yesterday 12-9pm-

Well, lets see...I am new at this, but I really need someone to talk to. I was married in July of 2008 and the "drama" never stops with the biological mom. I get so fustrated at least once a week, because she is a narcissitic person and her life is not fulfilled unless she causes my husband and myself trouble.

Am I wrong???

BF has a temp order that says he gets BS EOW (Friday @ 5pm until Monday morning when baby is to be dropped off at daycare 60 miles one-way away)and every Thursday. I have beem doing all the driving on Fridays and Mondays for the past 8 weeks since I have not been working much. I got a job last week that I started today that is M-F 8am to noon so I can no longer drive his son to daycare on Monday mornings.

Does anyone have any idea what these consist of I have nothing to hide, but I am nervous about some stranger coming into my home and evaluating me..I have never been through anything remotely close to this..We are doing this because the judge ordered it, my DH is trying to get sole custody of his children..Any information will be greatly appreciated..

Good enough reason to ask BM to delay possession?

So I can see that maybe I'm just paranoid, but I always get such good honest feedback from all of you.

Here's the question, then the explanation.

Is it dangerous for 4yo SD to be with BM when BM has no phone,(house or cell) and no car?

My thoughts are that means if there is an emergency, BM cannot take SD to safety or the emergency room, and she does not have a phone to call for help. That to me is dangerous for SD.

Thursday night was the longest night I've had in a while, worrying about my little sd at BM's.

Is it really worth it?

My husband & I have been together for 9 years and married for 7. His kids were 10 mo.(girl) & 3(boy) and mine were 22(girl) mo & 3(boy). We were awarded residential custody after she took us to court trying to take them 7 1/2 years ago. My kids are with us the majority of the time and his kids are with us about 70 percent of the time. We also share a 5 year old(girl). I am the primary caregiver to all of the children. His kids are mostly loving when they are home but when they go to their mother's they lie about things that happen here.

Well most people would say I got every thing I wanted, however why am I still not happy. My DH won placement my SS crazy BM only gets him wed and EOW, so why am I still checking her myspace to see her mood, why do I care what she is doing, why do I get so mad when I see her? OK so she tried to destroy me for the past 3 years but we won, so I should be happy that she is not, knowing I get to be with her son 25 days out of the month and she gets him 5 days out of the month. Why do I seem obsessed with her?
