Unusual behavior from BM - starting to get worried

Nymh's picture

BM usually calls at least 5 times a day when SS is with us. Last weekend, she didn't call at all. They only spoke when SS called her parents' house (her phone is turned off) and they went and got her to have her call him back. I was talking to one of our mutual friends, and he says that he hasn't heard from her in weeks - something else very unlike BM. I told him about what happened on visitation and asked if maybe she was just too lazy to go next door to her parents' house to use the phone a couple times a day.

BM's money troubles (AKA laziness)

BM and BF are set to go back to court again on Tuesday regarding her suing him for more child support money...we'll see how that goes. Two weeks ago when SS came out here, BM's and his cellphones were "messed up" (had been shut off). Now, her home phone "isn't working right either" (has been shut off). She still has internet though, because she emailed me to ask if I could have SS email her to let her know how he was. We were away for the weekend and didn't have access to email, but she had several numbers to reach us at which she never called.

BF's olive branch plan

We went to see The Incredible Hulk last weekend. SS loves going to the movies, but there is no theatre in BM's town. As we were leaving the movie, he asked me what I thought about him buying two tickets to The X Files to give to BM, along with a gas card and a gift card to a restaurant in town so that she could take SS to see the movie. They both chimed in that she loooooves The X Files. I told him that it was his money and he could do whatever he wanted with it.

Strange TMI Question

Ok, this may sound gross, but... How often do [your] children go number 2? I've always heard that you're supposed to go at least once a day. SS goes about once a week. I assume it's because of the food he is fed... we try to get him to eat good healthy food when he's with us but he usually is very resistant because he's used to just eating chicken (literally, JUST chicken, every meal, every day). He had an intestinal blockage last year and had to be put on medication and have several things done to him which are done when that happens that I won't get into.

Short Update

It's been 5 days since the RO expired and still no contact from BM. Hooray! BF and she talked today, and she says she finally went on a second interview for a teaching job but didn't get the position. This is the only place she's interviewed at and to my knowledge the only place she's applied for at all. She's been unemployed for 8 months now...

I got a promotion!

Just wanted to let you guys know that my workplace offered me a decent package and I took it. I'm having to drop out of school (again) to go back to work full time but that's OK. I've been wanting this position for 18 months now and like BF said, sometimes you have to leave to get what you want Smile

Multiple counts of BM being difficult just for the sake of being difficult

SS called to talk to BF yesterday. Apparently he has a sore throat and doesn't want to come on visitation this weekend (so we're starting this again it seems). Well, BM offered to let BF have him next weekend to make up for it, meaning that we'd have him two weekends in a row. We can't do that, though, because we already have plans to be out of town next weekend. BF suggested that maybe he could have SS three weeks from now, meaning he'd have SS three weekends in a row. This wasn't acceptable to BM. Why not? I must ask.

Not step related, but I need to write about this

I can't write about this on my Myspace because some of my coworkers (and my boss) have access to that and this situation is kind of hush-hush. So anyway. When I was working full time at the doctor's office, I was in the surgical coordinator position which I shared with another woman. In October of last year, I told my boss that I was going to school this summer, so I would be going to part time and would be gone for good in the summer. They had pleeeenty of notice if you ask me (not many people give an eighth month notice)!
