Not Your Typical Divorce/Skid Tale
Anyone want to make a movie out of this?
I hope some of you will read this adventuresome story and understand I am coming into this whole Skid situation from a very different angle:
Mind you, this was not a typical "DH and BM got married, had a kid, then got divorced." They met online and BM created a huge scam as to who she actually was. She even claimed to have a job lined up where DH used to live when she never worked in her life. After convincing DH to help her move across country, he let her stay with him for a couple of days, during which time she stole his mail, filled out 2 credit card applications (DH & DH's first wife), got fake IDs, set up a PO box for the credit cards bills to be sent, never paid them, ran up over $45K, ruined DH & 1st wife's credit.
Before he even knew all this had happened, DH told this internet stranger she had stayed long enough, it's time for her to move out, she left, comes crawling back 2 months later with the news she is pregnant. DH told her he would help take care of the baby but had no intentions of getting married. While pregnant, BM would get ready for "work" everyday and have DH drop her off at a building downtown. She even filed a tax return in order to keep DH convinced. Later, DH found out BM was not going to work at all, but was using HIS and his 1st wife's credit to wander around downtown spending money--while pregnant!!
Days after SD was born, DH (being military) got orders overseas. DH decided he would have to marry this stranger so he could take the baby with him overseas. Fast civil court marriage, BM becomes military dependent, which was her whole intent from the beginning. While overseas and 2 yrs later, DH finally discovered the credit card fraud that BM did to both DH and his 1st wife. DH's 1st wife had e-mailed him to ask for help with a bad mark on her credit that she did not do. DH figured he might as well check his credit for the hell of it, and sure enough, HIS credit was also fucked! After a lot of detective work, he discovered it was his wife--this internet stranger--who did this to him! Well, now that he was "married" to this person, the credit companies viewed it as BOTH their debt. The detectives told him he was basically fucked since they were "married," but he did say DH could have her arrested and put in jail. Of course, DH didn't want his 2yo's mom in jail so he ended up paying the credit debt. Lifetime savings drained to pay for her crime, married to a person he didn't know, married to a stranger, someone he despised...Still, he stuck around for the baby until SD was 5 or 6.
So, you can see why we have very little tolerance for BM!!
DH hasn't offered to let BM visit for 3 yrs because it would have been a very dangerous situation with BM getting convicted of 3 more fraud felonies, and living with any stranger who would take her in. But, this year, she moved in with her younger brother and had an extra room for SD.
I guess it's a lesson learned. There's really no reason for us to have her go visit in the future when it is more detrimental for SD. Plus, the Court Order is pretty weak anyway so I'm sure DH won't get in any trouble for not letting her go.
To this day, I find it hard to imagine a BM doing an online divorce when kids are involved. Then again, she never really wanted the baby or the responsibility because she purposely got herself pregnant in order to become a military dependant. She used the baby to get a free ride for herself...so now that DH got full custody, she has no "need" for using the child. She truly only cares about herself.
I know. It's fucking sick.
Lifetime Movie material.
Oh, and this BM who comitted all this fraud--when DH discovered the fraud she did to him, she faked a terrible stomach pain. BM fell on the floor and pretended to be paralyzed. DH took her to the ER. Doctors couldn't find the source of her "pain," BM screaming so loud, the ER Docs were baffled and decided her appendix probably burst. BM is that fucking crazy that she allowed the docs to operate and REMOVE her appendix so she could have DH feel sorry for her in the hospital instead of facing his discovery that she completely DUPED him and frauded him out of his retirement savings!
Last year, she again found another military man online, convinced him to fly her to visit him, stole his elderly MOM's personal information, opened a credit card with the old lady's name then added herself as a co-owner of the account! She ran up another $20K. Originally, she had made this man believe she needed his help in taking care of her "two daughters." He felt bad for BM and actually wired her a couple hundred dollars for "her kids." Not one penny of any of her thefts ever went to help or support SD! That stolen $60K + all went to salons, shopping, concerts, etc. for herself. And BM is currently $4,600 behind in child support!
She is now 41 yrs old and living with her younger brother.

So, what you are trying to
So, what you are trying to tell us, is that your DH had a kid with Casey Anthony? Or possibly her older sister....
I was afraid I was going to
I was afraid I was going to get accused of trying to "whine & get sympathy" so thanks for not doing that! Holy shit, yes, BSgoinon, when the Casey Anthony story came out, I was like NO FKNG WAY!!
Every now & then, I just have to get this crazy story out of my system. It's hard as hell to hold back the resentment (I try not to show it) when this SD was a trick by BM to make her own self a dependent. He never wanted a child with her at all, then in the end, BM drops the kid on DH to pay for and raise since her dependency scheme didn't work out.
This is why it's so annoying when SD treats us like shit when we are the ones who are actually willing to take this responsibility off BM's hands.
Having kids to get paid...isn't there a word for that? }:)

That is a good lifetime
That is a good lifetime movie... U should suggest it to them!! Lol, crazy women but atleast SD is in the right hands now
I don't know which is more
I don't know which is more amazing, the dirty stunts ysome women pull to trap a man or the men that fall for the stupid stunts.
I wonder the same thing. The
I wonder the same thing. The more I learn about BM the more amazed I am at her crazy antics, then I have to remember that my husband once fell for that stupid shit.
Oh, I know! See how this
Oh, I know! See how this entire situation can cause so much stain on the entire family & relationship with DH?!
Sadly, many times I've found myself hating DH for being to incredibly STUPID!
If not a LifeTime movie, this
If not a LifeTime movie, this could at least be an episode for "Who The BLEEP Did I Marry?"
Wow, that is incredible -
Wow, that is incredible - what a racket-!! she does need to be locked up!!!!! and sued, etc.
Holy shitballs! This article
Holy shitballs! This article is unreal--It is the exact same thing that DH went through. Why this could happen more than once is just beyond me. I thought he was the only sucker out there. What a horrible thing for a person to do to so many men who are lonely and vulnerable in the military.
I dare anyone to read this article then volunteer to put yourself in the position of being the stepmom for one of this criminal's kids! And when that kid treats you like shit but idolizes this felon mom who never even wanted to be a "mom" in the first place (only wanted to use a baby to become a military dependent for herself)...when that kid glares at you, lies to you, and steals from you--try to embrace this child and have a "warm fuzzy" for her with unconditional motherly love.
Any takers??
Late reply, but damn if our
Late reply, but damn if our stories arent really, really similar. DH and BM met online also, she did whatever she could to "get him", moved herself across state to live with him, convinced him to marry her quickly. They were both dead set on no more kids, both wanted to retire (they already had teenagers and were almost done), but damned if she didnt get preggers on purpose to keep him, once the honeymoon phase was wearing off. He was getting suspicious of her lies, most likely. Still throws the "you didnt want her anyway" in his face, because he was so pissed she got pregnant on purpose.
She NEVER worked from the minute they tied the knot, she scammed the system and is on total disability for carpel tunnel. Doesnt stop her from playing online games and surfing FB and the internet 24/7, miraculously. She has had no less than 10 illnesses/diseases in the past 5 years, to gain the sympathy of anyone she can. NONE verified by doctors, only by assumptions and WebMD browsing. When he left her and divorced her, she PAS'd SD and eventually left the state illegally with her. So now DH has full custody of SD9, and my life is just grand. I never, ever thought she would be with us full time, but this is my life now. I have to hear SD talk about BM and not gag or scream because she thinks she is a god. I have to hear the legal BullShit that comes with this type of F'd up parenting, and I try to support DH to do his best to parent this confused, manipulative, conniving child.
So, I get exactly how you feel and what you have and are going through.
Thanks, not-what-i-wanted! I
Thanks, not-what-i-wanted! I can't believe there is someone out there who has actually been in the same dilemma as me! After SD9 saw BM this summer, she is convinced that DH and I are the DEVIL and that BM is a fun-filled hero of a mom.
It's easy enough to be the "fun" parent when it's only a short visit and you go have ice cream every day while the "un-fun" parents are the ones taking care of you day in & day out, making sure the homework gets done, clean your room, brush your teeth...
I mean, life is always more fun during vacation and time-off but at some point, the vacation has to end. So, skids learn to associate the non-custodial parent with FUN and NO rules while the custodial parents are the disciplinary bad guys.
If you have any ideas for coping, I'd love to hear them!
