My in-laws are Team BM
DH and I have been married two years now. BM has full custody, and DH and I have fallen into a rhythm with his 15-year-old kid that works for us. In the beginning I did a lot to help DH AND BM, but it was thankless, and suddenly I found myself babysitting when I didn't want to and paying for things that I didn't want to pay for - many times out of sheer expectation rather than a request - so I stopped. SS is almost 15.5, so we only have to do this 2.5-ish more years. I have heard from BM only a few times in the six years that DH and I have been together.

New Here! First Vent: I HATE the BM
My husband and I have been together for six years, married for two. We are both artists and gig workers, though I also have a full-time job, and he primarily works nights. He has a 15-year-old son from his previous marriage. When my husband and I first got together, the boy was 9, and my husband and his ex-wife were freshly divorced. It was a nasty divorce, too, so I sacrificed my feelings and finances and did everything I could to ensure the child felt comfortable in my home because I knew he must be going through a lot.
