I'm new here.. Hello everyone. I stumbled across this web-site a few months ago looking for help on what I'm going through. Reading everyone's postings, blogs have been helpful.
Some history, been with DH 10 years, living together/married for past 6 years. SS has lived with BD and us all long, moving out periodically to spread his wings, but always back in. Has lived with us for past 3 years. (SS is in mid 20's) SS has always been polite, courteous.. we had some good talks over the years..
My BD was diagnosed with ADHD combined and Oppositinal Defiant Disorder earlier last month. We met her psychiatrist today He only works with kids which is good...I got the impression he wasn't a pill pusher which is good! He said he doesn't like overmedicating kids. He did put her on something that should help her in school. He said I only have to give it to her on school days if I want to..which is what I'll probably do. The ODD is going to have to be worked on in therapy which is fine with me. I don't want medication to be a cureall for this.
So last night I let my DH have it--a piece of my mind, that is.
We recently kicked SD(24)out of our home because her rude behavior toward me had steadily escalated and began to border on psychotic. To make a long story short, she did her best to publicly humiliate me, turn my DHs family against both of me, and destory my marriage. If she had any position in life at all (other than a leech), I could have sued her for slander--it got that bad. In the end she failed miserably on all counts and outed herself to everyone as the manipulative bitch she is, but the damage is done.
Has anyone ever used or know someone who has used a Father's Rights Group Organization to help with custody/visitation/etc?
If so, what was the experience with the group & which group?
Thank you. 
Background: for the past three years, every few months or so, SD -- who turned 8 years old a week ago -- goes through a couple of phases of wanting to call her mom while she's at our house.
Something terrible happened last night.
My closest friend at work lost her fiance' to suicide.
By way of background, I came to this site because she introduced me to it. She and her fiance' were having a lot of problems with the fiance's son's BM. She wouldn't let him see his son...all she wanted was the CS. Now this little boy will never see his father again. And his mom is still a selfish BB.
I have seen that a lot of non-members post on this website. Sometimes they have good comments---however I have seen a good bit that are just rude, etc. Is this common for this site? Is there a reason why people who don't sign up can post?
Personally I've ignored alot of posts by non-members. I feel like if you want to comment then sign up. Maybe I'm wrong in thinking like that. Am I the only one that thinks like this?
Things seem to be looking up compared to my last blog. But one question I have. DH works nights and is home during the day. BM waits til he goes to work to call him. I have told him this bothers me that she does this because she knows I'm not around and he answers her call during working hours. I limit the times I call him myself. I feel as though everything we have gone through the last month was a waste of time. Because he pacified me at the time I was angry about BM not taking kids on her time but both of them expecting me to.
This is the first year that my husband and I will be filling a joint tax return. I was wondering if BM is entitled to see our tax statements. I really don't want her to see how much I make or my deductions.
Any advise on this one?
My marriage turned bad fast and now I am just starting the process of a divorce. We have a four month old. As of right now husband agreed for me to have temp physical placement of 4 month old. I set the standards of every other weekend from 9am to 6pm Sat and Sun and one night a week from 5-8pm with no over night stays. I want to continue this arrangement for at least the first 4 years of her life. Has anyone heard of this happening or have any knowledge of this. If I have to get ugly I will and bring up the fact that my husband is an alcoholic and won't admit it.
