FH received a message on FB that a friend of his, who is listed as a friend of BM on FB put in her status "looking for a hitman." because she is bipolar, attempted suicide 3 times last year, and threatened once last year to come by and shoot her kids and BD, I told FH to consider this a serious threat. I suggested he call his lawyer and/or police. I don't know if he will though, because sometimes he sees her threats as empty attention-getters. This all came about after some arguing between she and I about the summer vacation.

I want to say that a lot of advice I have gotten from friends, family, and websites don't fit evey situation. I read a lot that it wasn't my place to discipline, and DH and I even agreed on that. After acknowledging that I am the stay at home until dad gets home at 6, it was contradictory to think I shouldn't discipline. Well after starting parenting therapy classes, it has been confirmed to me and I feel much better. Our therapist said that our situation is different than the traditional "mom, step dad, children" scenario.

I am starting to work through my own issues of jealousy and other things with BM. Tomorrow is the last visit she will have with her kids for quite some time. She is moving many states away, has been on social security for years, and isn't capable of taking care of herself or her 13 year old son who currently lives with her parents. While I am glad she's leaving so we can have some consistency in our home, I know there will be issues with the boys. We have already had a parent conference with a new therapist, and the boys will start therapy next week to help in this transition.

We received our tax refund, and it was enough for us to finally get his reversal done! We are so excited. I was even more excited when he said last month, "I've been thinkining...I don't want us to move into a house and have to wait again to save money for the surgery to get pregnant. By the time we actually get to that point, years will go by and the success rate goes down." So, he wants to get pregnant!!! I've made my appointment for a physical and family planning, and waiting to hear back to schedule his appointment.
