I can't stomach my stepson - and he's not a bad kid.

CanAnyoneHelp's picture

I've been reading the stories of folks who don't like their stepson because he's trouble. I can't stomach mine, and he's not a bad kid.

My husband and I have been married for 7 years. It's so bad that I've considered leaving my husband, taking my two teenage sons and moving back in with my ex - who I have no desire to reunite with.

Same old situation

BM still has the brass balls to tell DH that SS will NOT come for his scheduled weekend, and it's "the end of the discussion". She also threw in that we could "be mad and threaten all we want". DH offered to take SS to the party as someone suggested, and she said "No, I had no idea of that?", and throwing it in our face that we "don't even pick him up". She knows that we do it when we are able. But either way, of course she still didn't give any info as to where and when the party is, things we would need to know if we're going to take him.

This is bizarre. My husband went missing this morning. He was supposed to go somewhere to get a truck with my ss who is 21. Anyway, he is not answering the cell and no one has heard hide nor hair of him all day.

This is not like him. Anyway, I'm communicating with my in-laws and my sd who has always hated me passionately called me. It was very odd.

Well, I hope my husband is not in any trouble. SD wants to call the jail and see if he's in custody.

any bms have advice/input on this one? or steps?

dh and i are dealing with a bm who either wants more money or is manipulated by 13 year-old who is lazy about rules and homework.

they went to mediation today (we currently have 50/50 placement). our 50/50 is one week on/one week off. bm is fighting for 100% (dh has had 100% since sd was 6 years-old to 12 years-old - bm always lost in court).

The papers.... Finally

Hi Everyone! I'm caught between excitement and fear here! We got the court papers today. By email. I'm going to post the email from the attorney:

Hey there – here’s the agreed order – BM has signed it – if it looks good to you and you return the fourth and fifth page signed it will be done. If you have any suggestions for corrections just let me know and I will ask BM if she’s good with them too and we can make changes if you two can agree on them.

There's only so much I can take

Ok, so we're planning to move to be closer to SD, right? Well, you'd think we were putting SD in grave danger by BM's reaction to this. She is basically threatening to pick up and move SD far away if we move to a) her town or b) the neighboring town she lives right next to. Oh, like she can forbid us to move to a specific zip code or two? PLEASE! I am so fed up with this BS!

The greatest joy in life is making someone else feel good

Do you think if we tried to make everyone feel good about themselves, rather than feel the insults, and alienation ourselves, would we change the feelings of our step kids and husbands.

What do you guys feel about that? Please think about it and let me know. I feel it is important to ask questions, right or wrong.

Thanks.
