I changed my mind.

After hearing all of you out and investigating how I really feel about the whole situation, I have decided not to write the SD a letter. I am afraid I can't offer any closure or comfort of any kind.

I tried several times to do it, but it always seemed like too much, not enough, dishonest, too honest, etc. There is no happy medium. Par for the course, I suppose, considering there was never a happy medium in our household.

Another part. OH *joy*.

I am still completely torn on even communicating with the SD to explain things. Her bio mom didn't say boo-shit and I don't want to be as cold hearted as that. On the other hand, I'm not sure it would matter...or if I even care to do one more thing in a line of endless things for the SD.

I don't want to offer her an explanation out of guilt or even obligation. I may sound like a bitch here, but I don't feel guilty. I thought I would, honestly, but I don't.

Part 11. The aftermath of an evil SD. Also, I could use some advice, please?

Hi all.

What's done is done, and I have said to my "D"H what had needed to be said. I am done dealing with the psychosis, break-downs, drama, abuse, worries, fears, etc. I can no longer live like that and I won't have my sons living it, either. I know my limits, and I have no more to offer because frankly....I am not a saint, and I am clueless on how to deal/fix or cope with any of it anymore.

Part 10. *Now*, the final evil entry. Life after the SD, and "D"H.

Disclaimer: if you haven't read the other crazy entries, you won't know what the heck I am talking about.

I've had the talk with "D"H, and supposedly, he is going to have a chat with his daughter. The talk basically means that I have said, as nicely and clearly as I am able, that I can't do it anymore.

Part 8. MY STEP DAUGHTER IS EVIL. Not might about it.

My ex husband is an awesome and loving man.

I mean REALLY. He is devoted as a father, and a friend, and a son, and a brother, etc.

We married WAY TOO YOUNG. That was our crime. We communicated badly, fought for no reason, and couldn't understand each other. WHAT A MONSTER. (joking)

Anyway, we separated and divorced, and realized we are way better friends than lovers. We are even better parents now without all the animosity.

Part 7. My step daughter my be evil.

It's been a few days since my last post.

I have avoided making a new post, actually, because I've felt a few of you needed to vent a bit more than I. My friend "goingcrazy" in particular. If you've not yet read her posts, please take a moment to do that. Afterwards, I'd like you to take another moment...and pray for both her family and for her. I am humbled by her strength, and her reaction to certain recent events. This is a tried and true woman, mother, and friend.

With that said, here goes.

Part 6. My step daughter might be evil.

Once again....if you have stumbled onto this site and found this blog, it won't make a lot of sense because I've done it in sections.

*sigh* OK.

I have decided to start a list. This is easier, and most of you have the basic idea of how things started for her and for me, and how we ended up together because of a mutual love of her dad.

SO (he becomes my husband later) and I bought a house. We all moved in. This was in the year...oh, I guess it was June of 2001?

Part five and a half. My step daughter might be evil.

I'd like to start with a public apology about my last post...where I sort of lost it at the end. *sigh* It just came out of me....the pain, anger, regret, the lost hope.

It's stupid, really; I never wanted to be a friggin' saint or anything. No, I wanted to be Mary Poppins. You know, a good mommy-person that added light and fun and life lessons here and there.

Time to tidy up...spoon full of sugar. All that good stuff.
But maybe without the chimney sweeps and the roof-top dancing; I'm scared of heights and hate being dirty.

Oh well.

Part 5. My step daughter might be evil.

Yet another installment. Again, I begin by saying that anyone just stumbling upon this blog might be confused without having read the previous posts.

My then-boyfriend and I broke our lease at the rental house in the suburbs after only 6 months. Many things led to this, including the dead rabbit and my dad's passing, but I won't go into all of them. I moved back into town with my sons, as did he and his daughter.
