When I stepped into this chat room I had no idea what I was getting into, but I am definately glad I did. There is so much support that I know has helped me through a few tough times. I wish I would have found it sooner. I consider myself a strong person. Opinionated, tough and rough, but nothing has ever prepared my for the roll of stepmotherhood. I wanted to put my story out there cause I'm sure some of you are going WHAT?, WHO IS THIS? So here it goes. My DH and I dated since Oct. 2004 married since Feb. 2006. I was married before for 8 yrs to a turd whom I didn't love.

My hb ex was served her Child support papers yesterday. She called my HB twice crying on his shoulder. I was absolutely appalled by his reaction toward her. He was so sympathetic and assured her everything would be ok. It drove me mad. Then I let it go. That was yesterday. Then today, he was in the bathroom talking to her again, reassuring her that nothing has changed just he needed support for the kids. Of course he listened to her cry and whine again. I confronted him on it saying that when issues arise in our home you get angry with me you don't lend a sympathic ear.

HB and I went to see the lawyer today about child support and full custody. Lawyer said it's an open and shut case. AWESOME!!!!! You guys don't know how great this is. It's been a long 3 years. BM is going to be served at her place of work. OOOOPS! How embarassing. Serves her right for all the crap she's put my HB and my SKids through. You know what the funny thing is...She never saw this coming. BM thought just cause she ALLOWED the kids to live with us, she had no responsibility for them, and HB would not persue it. How dumb! So tonight I'm dancing a jig.
