BM is a real piece of work. Last week she attempted to put SS12 on Zoloft for Anxiety. DH put out an email that under no circumstances was that to happen. SS12 came back Monday and DH asked if his mom gave him anything. He said no medicine, but she did start him on new vitamins and Fish Oil. DH said fine, but if he noticed anything different he was to tell him. She listened for once.

Now at dinner that night, we ask how his weekend went and he said he had to go to Savannah with his mom and Step sister. (Expelled one). I mentioned that we told him he didn't have to go, he could have stayed with us. He said he knew that but his sister wanted him to go since SD14 was in Florida. Okay....here is where I am constantly amazed at BM. I asked DH "Isn't she supposed to get permission before she leaves". He says yes, but rules don't apply to them. I know we should not have said anything in front of SS. But, this is unreal. She is supposed to get permission from the judge. Now DH sends an email to the lawyer and they ask if we want to pursue a complaint. Well since this is easily the 2nd or third time she has done this. She won't drop the CO modification. She won't counter us, she just lets this drag on.

DH asked what I think he should do. I said go for it. He said, but then this whole thing drags on. He wants it all settled before his big promotion and then the amount of his new salary would be considered. I don't care anymore. I want someone to tell this woman she can't just do what ever she wants.

I don't know what he decided yet. I am staying out of it. But, then this morning I notice that SD14 who all this fighting in court is about, has been on Facebook a lot lately. Well apparently she went to FL with some friends and she was too sick Monday and Tuesday to go to school.

Now as I am writing this DH receives another huge email about how she is still looking for solutions to fix SS12. Wants DH to take him weightlifting. Can you say rules at gyms...? 12 years old - I don't think so. She wants to bring us vitamins to give him. She mailed DH a book about Brain Balance and then accused him of throwing it away. He didn't. He just hasn't had time to read it. He just got it on Friday. She is concerned about how much time he watches TV. Well he doesn't here. Here it is the Xbox. Sorry. The kid doesn't go outside much. We have tried. Some kids just don't. We have him in other activities. Now she wants him to start tennis lessons on Sundays. She found an instructor for us. How nice of her.....He has Karate two days a week. Therapy one day a week. Group therapy on our week on Fridays. He has choir after and during school. Give the kid a break. I just know that is one more thing on my husband's plate. He is already working 12 hour days. Now he is having to work Saturdays lately... I so hate this woman. She keeps causing problems. DH is just waiting for the day when SS12 says he no longer wants to live there. I just wish that day would come sooner rather than later. The longer he lives there the more damage she is doing. She is the reason for most of his problems. She works too much and the kids are always left alone. Over here, they are never alone. I work from home and make sure I don't schedule meetings on the week we have his son. My priority has always been my son. I do not understand people that rather than parent, would medicate or continually find activities to put their kid in. She leaves every weekend she can so how would tennis lessons happen on her time anyway? It would all fall to us for any continuity with this. Vent over.....

I feel sorry for the kid (and you guys)! No wonder he has anxiety. It seems like it is GO GO GO all the time with no time to just RELAX and be a silly 12 year old.

I know. He seems so genuinely happy here. But, the minute that household is discussed he tenses up. He tries not to say anything to cause problems. But, he should not be placed in the middle here. They used to be amicable but since she started all this with the SD14, DH can't trust her. She has caused all the anxiety. I am not a violent person, but I would really like to go off on this BM.
