please....
I am perplexed by DH's relationship w/sd16. I know he is entitled to whatever type relationship he chooses to have w/her and v/v. However, he complains about her not calling him, (since she moved out in Feb) and her lack of concern for her 2 brothers (our bs'). She also never comes by to visit him, even though her maternal grandmother lives less than a block down the street???? She visits her regularly.

I am very angry and disappointed in Sd16 today. It was my BS (her 1/2 brother) party today for his tenth birthday. He asked me if we could invite SD, I reluctantly said OK, it is after all, his party, not mine. DH calls her two days ago and asks that she come. She said she would be there and was looking forward to seeing her brothers. NO SHOW / NO CALL. After the party was over, and all the guests had gone, DH called her to ask why she didn't show up. It was about 4 pm by this time (party was at noon). She was still in bed!!!! UGHHHHH.

I have been reading this book called, DIVORCE POISON, and I find it extremely helpful. It is about PAS (parental alienation syndrome). Has anyone else read it, and if so, what are your thoughts? It does explain a hell of a lot with my SD's, kinda a "lightbulb" moment.

Well, SD had her baby yesterday....Derby day here. Dh only knew because he called the local hospitals because I had that feeling.... Sure enough she delivered at 5 a.m. So, with my encouragement, he went to the hospital. I did not want him to go by himself, but since all of our friends/family were already at the Derby, (sad day by the way) I was of course the only one available to go. I REFUSED to go into the hospital, but instead opted to go to the top of the parking garage to enjoy the beautiful, yet very windy, views of the city with my boys. They loved it, it was "cool" to them.
