I had to call it quits with my man because SD15 convinced him I am mean to her and the cause of all her problems! I'm so sad right now because I tried to like/love her but she is a Trainwreck! SD15 stole from my family on a vacation, has been arrested twice for drugs and theft, suspended for fighting etc. I told her Dad she is deflecting and needs to quit playing the victim card, but he said he agrees with her. Writing this I see the path forward for me has to be alone, but emotionally I'm devastated! Any advice?

I swear I must like being disappointed. 

I just priced out flights for Christmas for SSstb14. We know BM won't let us have him. We know that she is going to ignore the email requests. We know it. WHHHYYY do we even bother?? Why can't we just give up like BM wants us to?? 

Maybe she will come back with a quick "No" and I can add that to the stuff currently being worked out by the lawyers. I doubt it... but maybe. If she says no, and we don't go to SS state for Thanksgiving (not that she has to let us see him), we will go 7 months without seeing him.
