I'm slipping into issues of not feeling like I'm 'good enough' for my BF or my SS. I'm bipolar, and have more lows than highs. I went through a time where I didn't even feel like I deserved to be anywhere, like I wanted to run away. Then I was sitting alone on the first Mother's Day since my Mother passed away. I got a text from BF and he asked if I wanted to go out. I felt a ping of 'what the hell? Is he really asking me out??' and almost said no, but I agreed. It was an amazing night. We did dinner and a movie and hung out at my place for HOURS!!

How do I handle the BM having her BD call the SS asking when he's coming back? My SS said "Look just cause you're back doesn't mean I have to come back." This poor kid just wants to stay here with me and DH. I learned a LOT of new information last night regarding SS staying with BM. He went into a deal and kept going.

He listed every reason why he doesn't want to go including:

So my SS and I are sitting here, watching the Cleveland Show. It's hilarious he enjoys it and we're good. Until one character mentions it being her "time of the month" and he says "It's call SHARK WEEK! Get it right!"

My BF thought it was funny when we got together to call my period Shark Week (even set my text tone on his phone to JAWS) and ever since then the SS asks me "Is it Shark Week?" whenever I get moody. The look on his face the one time I snapped "Yes it is....is this a problem?!" He looked super shocked and I laughed.
