I left him alone for two hours

My Saturday started at 7am. I had to drive into town to get my daughter. That was the only thing that ran smoothly.

I get home at 8:30 and have to be ready for skids football game by 10.

9 year old SD can't get herself ready to go...she wants me to help her. Why a 9 year old can't dress herself is beyond me, when her cheer leading uniform is all laid out for her. I have to get in the shower, so I get DH to take her to BM.

I'm running late now.

I go to the game...alone...without DH and have to deal with BM (who is a snotty bitch)

Some advice, PLEASE!

I have 50/50 custody with twin skids9, boy and girl. Boy plays football and girl is cheer leader for his team. I also have an SD13 but she isn't referred to in this blog. (FOR ONCE)

Today, as I am dropping skids off at school, SD9 says to me that she "hates school, it is worthless and stupid." She also says, "I am tired because I never get to rest because of cheer leading." She is crying and being almost rude to me because I am making her go to school.

It's time for change and it starts with me!

This battle of wills and constant conflict has left me feeling lethargic and stupid.
I know I have no control over others. I accept that.
When I feel as though I am beaten and down, I pray for courage.
When everyone seems to be blaming me for their life being the way it is, logic tells me it was this way when I met them.
I have wasted enough time trying to make them happy and make their life better. It is time to take care of myself.

Where do I start?

Is identity theft next?

The BM has stolen my DH's identity in the past. Getting credit cards in his name and racking up thousands of dollars in debt.

NOW, she is using our address for her drivers license and voters registration card. She hasn't lived here in 4 years and owns her own home, in town. She also has retained his last name.
