What do I make out of this? So I've been talking to my mil regarding the nasty things that BM is doing. Everytime I share my troubles and frustrations regarding BM, my mil says nothing to me and just agrees and then that's it. She gives me no advice and comments regarding what I just shared w/her. I don't know what to make out of this? Does it mean, she doesn't want to get involve, or maybe she likes BM and doesn't want to speak about her to me, or what? What would you do if you were a mother in law and your daughter in law shared her experiences w/you?
So ss isn't a very social kid. He's perfectly content w/a Harry Potter book, watching MythBusters or playing a video game. He's very advanced in his school-life and gets teasted a lot by other kids. Because of this, he doesn't really get along w/kids his own age, which I understand completely.
As you all know I’ve been reading the “Co-Parenting Survival Guide,” by Thayer & Zimmerman. I read a couple of incredible chapters that I wanted to share with everyone this morning. I got side tracked a bit reading a novel, but am now back to “parenting” books. This might be a bit long, so I apologize for that at the onset.
Just wondering cause it seems like everyone has issues w/their current situation w/BM being in their lives and all. I want to know if you do have a good relationship w/BM, how did you do it and tell me your story.
I am getting to the point that I am so disgusted with myself, this is not the kind of person that I am or want to be. Yet I continue soldiering on, hoping for a change that I know probably will never come. I'm pretty much left with chosing between my dignity, morals and self worth or my marriage.

Okay, so I know that I shouldn't be involved anymore. But, I'm going to put that aside for now and ask for some advice.
For the last few weeks, BB has been denying EX's Thursday visitation because of him being about 10-15 minutes late, in addition to the time she denied it because EX took SS to see the Transformers movie. He has asked repeatedly to have her please meet him halfway which will allow him to get there on time and she refuses. Nowhere in the CO does it state where the pick up/drop off is.
First of all let me say thank you so much to all of you who have supported me and helped me to realize that I did right.
To answer a few questions some of you ladies asked:
DH has wanted me to put him in a bootcamp for a couple of weeks now so when I called him about this to tell him, he stands behind me 100%. See, two, maybe three weeks ago, I had to take a trip out of state to get SS9 from my mother, who was keeping them for two weeks like she has every summer that I have had them, because he was threatning to hurt my 3 year old brother.

"Bonding with a Kid Who's Bound to Break Your Heart"
This chapter is appropriately titled, "Embrace Your Identity Crisis" There is so much in this chapter that I can identify with. This chapter starts off with talking about the transition from being single to wam-o! instant family! As much as I was ridiculed by my ex and the bio-mom for this being *exactly* what I wanted, and it so wasn't. What girl does?! Yes, I wanted a family, and I still do, but I want a family of my own, not someone elses with all the problems that it brings.
