So, DH finally got email about first semister grades we've been waiting a month for. She simply states her GPA no class by class grades no real confirmation. Just her word -- which is worth nothing these days.
Then, she says that DH will owe $150 in late fees for missing the tuition deadline. HUM, we were never informed of when to pay by the school or SD. So, because SD is completely irresponsible, we owe $150 on top of $3000. That's nice.
The latest poll regarding gifts reminded me of one of the ex's tricks. Back when we were all trying to get along for the kids' sake (we don't fight now, I just act as if she doesn't exist), she would always invite us to the kids b-day parties that she was throwing even though from the first one we told her "NO, you have a party, we'll have a party, that way they'll get two parites." But, no, she had to invite us and our family members so that it looked bad to the kids when we didn't show up or invite her to our parties.
When a husband and wife divorce and husband moves on and moves into new relationship whether just common-law or marriage, does his child support and spousal support change to go on the new amount of husband and new relationship partner.
My mom has been so worried about SD (as we all have!) that she decided to write a letter to SD's therapist. I wanted to share it with all of you, because it is so spot on.
Dear Dr. M,
I am writing with shared concern regarding your patient, SD. My daughter Caitlin has informed me of the current situation. SD’s father, BF, may have spoken to you about my resolve to involve Social Services in order to ensure SD’s safety and well being.
We had our son's 2nd birthday party this weekend at my house.So my BC and SC were here...along with family and friends.My oldest SD (she is 11)had my video vamera and sneaks upstairs with it to goof around with it with her friends.So turns out they are in my room..no big deal...BF retrieves the camera and brings it back to me.Later my SD tells me that she wanted to do a video on thongs and proceeded to go thru my underwear draw and pull out some of my intimates (if you know what I mean).SD then shows them to her friends and my youngest SD (she is 7).I was furious.So her dad (my BF) tells he
Question:
What is the best way to handle a SD who:
1. Interupts whenever her father and I are talking. (will sulk and say "NEVERMIND" when we tell her that it's not nice to interupt)
2. Comes and pushes herself inbetween us while we are walking or sitting on the couch.
3. Will come and sit directly on top of her father if she has no room to come in between.
This has been going on for almost 2 years. My reaction has always been......
1. I will act like it completely doesn't bother me.
2. I walk away.
I do not know what else to do to keep my BF afloat. He has been depressed over all the divorce issues and mainly due to the fact that he has not been able to see his kids thanx to psycho BM. All he wants to do is sleep. A few times I have been able to distract his mind but just for a short moment. He is very anxious as we are awaiting the divorce trial judgement after a very unfair trial. He has been adhering to the initial temporary divorce orders for almost 4 yrs and he is at breaking point especially financially.
It was our weekend with Dh's sons. Since there mother have them on a dead run every weekend we have been hanging close to home lately when we have them so they can relax & hang out. We took them to the history museum this weekend to see a baseball exhibit. The 6 year old really tested both of us. It's a barage of "watch where you are going, pay attention" the whole time. Then the best is these people pull up next to us & park so crappy DH can hardly get out & 6 yr old blurts out" what a bunch of wierdos" loud enough that the people heard.
Just a little update on the oldest SD situation..
My fiance has a 14yr daughter. She rude, manipulative, spoiled, and jealous of our relationship. She tries to come between me and her father mentally, and phyically. For example she'll sit or walk next to him so I can't and she tries to get us to fight , so I'll leave. I don't know what to do?
