I haven't posted rencently as things have been improving. But now travel ball has started and it will be another hurdle.For a quick recap SS ,almost 16, is entitled and disrespectful, but this is caused by bios and grandparents. Last year after the travel ball season SS was told he could stay on the team if him and the bios agreed that he would only pitch. He can't bat after 12 years of playing ball. His travel team has some really good players. He is the worst on the team. Also SS has lost his core group of friends because they don't want to be around him any longer.

I am just venting because I need to.  And yes I know I need to just leave but anyway. SD gets to go across country for doing excellent on a school project. It was unexpected and is running approximately $1200 and is coming up fast.  SO gave $200 for it and was going to pay for the other $400 in a week or so. Now there is nothing that says he has to do this but it is his daughter so he was, this is fine. But then SO get a text forwarded to him from BM saying that SS final payment for travel baseball is due.

Just wanted to put this down somewhere. SO went to his therapy session. He said it went well and he was not angry with me when he was through. This means one of two things. 1) she let him talk and didn't say much or 2) he was able to do his wonderful manipulation tactics.  I have to go with 2.  SS had his first travel team baseball practice for the season , now remember he will only be pitching because he does so terrible at batting. I guess he also pitched bad and now has to do more private pitching lessons.  I am not grasping this at all.

I want to know what parenting or maybe divorce book says that only parents should be picking up their child?  I am being sarcastic. Now I have begun to speculate more and more about what SO does because he is so manipulative to get his way about his kids.I suppose he was asked to pick SS up after the basketball game by BM and he didn't think he could because he was working . He got done sooner then expected and SS grandfather was picking him up .  GP was already at the school waiting for him .
