Tonight Demon15 had a virtual counseling appt. She was in her room and I walked past and could clearly hear her talking to her counselor saying "I have like 4 friends, I just don't like them very much and I just use them all for different things. One gives me rides and takes me shopping, another tells me things. I just use them, I'm a user! I don't really like people". What in the actual F is wrong with this girl?? Then in the next breath she told the counselor "we match, you have red on and I have green on.
I'm 6 months in with my adult SS living in my home. He spends all his time lounging in his bathrobe playing video games every day, all day, and doesn't leave the house. He works a maximum of 20 hours per week and spends the rest of his time in my tiny, one bathroom, expensive apartment doing absolutely NOTHING but taking up my space, resources and privacy. My husband refuses to move him out... and as a result my marriage is hanging on by a thread.
BM's home state court records are accessible to the public so I decided to try searching today since I had not yet this week to see if that would give us more insight on to what is going on at BMs. Yep, Stepdad filed to divorce BM on 12/10/24. On one hand it is upsetting because at least with BM being married there was not men coming in and out of SD's life (for the most part, since we already knew she cheated on him while married at least a few years ago).
I just have to say, I can't get over his lie about working this women. He lied and I can't stop hurting. No matter what I tell myself I don't know how . Just venting.
The holiday anxiety surrounding skids is starting to set in. Demon15 came last night and although honestly she has been less demonic than usual and actually pretty normal, I still dread our custody weeks. I have zero interest in these kids being here.
And the stirring has started in steplife world. SD15 has not been over since we saw her briefly on Thanksgiving. Well this weekend coming is her weekend to come so we shall see! I know for sure she will be over on Christmas Eve to collect her gifts ( DH family celebrates Christmas on Christmas Eve) and of course BM has already made plans for SD to grace us with her presence on Christmas Eve .
Since my husband filed for divorce behind my back about a month ago, life has been a nightmare.
There have been some funny mentions of gifts from a step kid lately. What about you? What funny, pathetic, passive-aggressive things have your skids gotten you?
SS one year got me a potholder. Pretty sure that was a year he bragged about a 6-figure salary. At least it appeared new. But most years nothing, which is fine. I can match that energy
Currently we are just a few days out from my DS 16th birthday. Myself and his stepdad got him a car. (Nice used car from my brother in law who gave me a super deal on it) it's like new. However I know my ex and his family. I'm just waiting to hear the words from his mothers mouth says this is a gift from your mom and dad. Because he pays child support. She's done this before when I got her nephew (my husbands cousin) a nice very expensive wallet for his birthday. Made a cake and got a card. They all walked in that afternoon and put all their names on it like they helped!
As expected, SS63 called requesting her Christmas $ early due to "bills, car trouble and my anxiety". So, she came over yesterday.
She sat down and started her organ recital. Then she asked if she could come over sometime and talk to me to let me know what's going on. (My body said "Alarm, Alarm"). I said okay but I hope it wasn't about money cuz I'm about tapped out with Christmas and our real estate taxes are due. She said, oh, no (a probable lie). She started to talk about her recent flurry of medical tests
