Just one thing after another with this man and his child.

Soooo...I know I set Aug as a shit or get off the pot date. Doesn't look like I am going to make it that far. I am so over all the crap, and drama and bs.

If you have read some of my previous posts, you will know the backstory. We are 3 years into this, lived together for one year, and got separate places because our kids were a nightmare. I could barely stand to hear his kid breathe. SO had some growing up to do also, and needed to learn how to parent his kid, without my son and I catching hell.

BM started her crap with him yesterday about a 20 pair of pants, he didnt buy, because he is FINALLY getting tired of being a checkbook, on demand, whenever they want. I wasn't involved I just heard the summary. It ended to being a pissing contest between the two about who was going to get custody. Neither one of them have had even visitation rights since 2008. (long story) BM mother has full and sole custody awarded by the state. SO did 2 yrs in jail, and lost his rights and the meth head couldn't function, so she gave up rights. SO said he was in said contest to get 'dirt' on psycho, so he can use it against them. Now, ex Mil begged him to take custody 2 yrs ago. But that was before BM and my SO were ordered to pay support. SO other pays it. BM doesn't. BM is not even supposed to be left alone with the kid. Court ordered, mind you. So now they live together, the 3 of them, and get food stamps, welfare, and nearly 250 in cs. All of sudden, SO is no longer a good option for custody, and he's pissed. He has talked to an atty, and they said they wouldn't even start the process without 2000 up front. K. Not my problem. But we lived together at the time, and I was willing to get microscoped by dfax, to help him get his kid.

Now, I don't want his kid. Don't want to adopt etc, don't want to marry to help him get his kid etc. I am quite torn. I know the kid has a tough life down there with BM drug and craziness, and ex mil being somewhat worthless too (apple doesn't fall far) but I don't want all the responsiblity for this kid.

I said I wasn't going to bring up us living together til Aug. I could.t help myself, when all this came up last night. He was determined he would get custody, and soon. I was like, oh well, guess that pretty much answered my question, since SS said he doesn't want you living here, and you said he didn't even like coming here because my son is a bully.

He finally admitted that his kid is just jealous, and doesn't like sharing dad with us. Ok. And, what, you think that is going away when u have him full-time? He says yes.

Like all the issues will magically disappear because he now REALLY has to parent his kid, like enforce bedtimes, get him to school pay daycare, etc. Right. Ok. And now, when u get custody, you won't have the money to take him all over Damn town every weekend.

What I'm ill about, is this man basically just told me he won't live with me and my son, because his kid is jealous, but yet once he has his kid full-time, he will. I think that is still a put off, because SS constantly talks about a vacation they planned just him and dad, and such and such when him and dad get THEIR apt. Ok keep dreaming kid.

Dad pays half rent in some other guys house, doesn't have any bills like credit cards. He has a cell phone, a fine, and car insurance. He doesn't even have medical insurance, a car payment, or utility payments. And he can't seem to save money to get custody of his kid. Right. Yes, I know, I don't know what the hell I was thinking. But I do love him. At least I used to.

And I really don't know how far I want to push this. Either way, it just doesn't look that thrilling to me. I an force the issue, and say if you don't want to live with me now, you are not moving in here when u get your kid. Then my choice is being microscoped by dfax, and interviews, and all the crap that dfax does to decide custody. Attys, etc. And I'm pretty confident living with me, will help him unless they insist we be married. He thinks that if we aren't married, they won't give him custody . Or, I say ok, wait this out some more, let him and his dumbasses roommate worry about.it, where the kid doesn't even have a bed for the kid (i don't wither, I'm pretty sure we would have to move to a 3 bedroom) and then see if he gets custody.

And who knows, if I wait, I may still get the, well, he doesn't want sus living together so we r going to get our own place.

I'm sooooooo sick of my life, revolving around this kid. I get it, I do. He needs to consider his kid, but at what point is is just too Damn much. This kid has serious issues, and dad hasn't ever had to be a dad. Esp not alone. I really want to let him sink on this one, but at the same time, I want to love forward with our relationship, or get out. And I really don't want to get out, I'm just sick of the stalemate. And the crap.

There is nothing normal about this relationship/situation/ family at all. I realized that a long time ago. I realized shortly after it was too late that I had stumbled into a big old stinking pile of decaying poo.

Last night I expressed my concerns to SO, about how I felt about us ever having a future, and his unrealistic expectations of butterfly and rainbows with this kid. I asked him, why he thought that after his kid has said all these things, and makes it clear that his plans do not involve me or my son, and how he knows SS is obviously jealous, why he thought everyrhing would be great about us living together after he had custody. He tried to defend it with the lid needing structure, and craving It, and wanting to feel like part of the family etc.

I said no, he doesn't. His thinks its a vacation everytime he visits you. There is no structure, bedtimes, very few rules. You don't have to make him do anything. And SS doesn't want it to be a family, he wants it to be just you and him, and its clear you havent done anything to make him think it will be otherwise. SS also tried very hard to make it clear to ME, that the plan is the two of you. I asked him how many times is he going to hear, I hate living here, I want to go back home, I don't like notagain, bs13 is mean, he doesnt like me, he won't play with me, I hate you, this sucks. I don't wsnt to go to daycare, why doesn't bs13 have to go to daycare, I want mom...before he decides that this isn't working and moves out, again? Because SS has SAID all these things at one time or another. And hasn't had to deal with them. SO says that their talks have included us, and etc, bit yet, it doesn't appear that way. How can SS be so delusional then, and why is he making a point of it, and why haven't you corrected him in front of me? I KNOW WHY, BECAUSE YOU ARE BULLSHITTING ONE OF US, DRAGGING THIS SHIT OUT. and I'm pretty sure your not bullshitting SS.

I asked him how many times are my son and I going to have to get thrown under the bus, for this kid, esp when living together before things change? When it comes down to it, are you going to stand up with me, or resent me because of a pissed off SS that doesn't want to do chores and points a finger at me?

SO didn't really have much to say. I don't believe he even considered the way all of this would play out. Or he at least hasn't it considered it from my side. He just look very disheartened, and said he really wouldn't talk about this anymore last night. I backed off. He has a lot of things to mull over at moment, and he knows somewhat how I feel, and my concerns for his 'plan' and how I feel like I'm being drug along.

Ugh. It will come up again very soon, but I find myself backing off even more. Everyday, I see us having a future, dwindling. Sure, its my impatience. But I have to draw the line somewhere, and not sit around and wait for 10 years for this kid to be happy. It's not going to happen. And even adults kids act like this 8yr old. Hopeless.
