SD will be 14 on Friday

So, SD's birthday is coming up. I discovered, on BM's FB, that they are having a party for both SD & SS on Saturday. SS's 17th birthday was back in July, but apparently they never had a party for him. When his birthday came, I put a card in the mail only from DH. SS has made it clear that he doesn't want my name on his cards or gifts, so he got nothing from me. SD has not made much of an effort to be in contact with DH & I, however has had the courtesy of responding when I contacted her via FB message. She also was the only one who called to acknowledge DH on Father's Day.

If only some of these parents...BM's & BF's could understand the truth in this statement

So, I signed into Facebook this morning & went to check out the Status Shuffle on Facebook. You can click on different topics & it scrolls through a bunch of different status update statments you can post on your page. My neice is struggling with some issues right now & I'm really missing my family, so I clicked on "Family" to see what they had. The first one to come up said, "Your children need your presence more than they need your presents".

So, this is the song BM dedicated to my DH on her FB...

BM has no idea we have access to her Facebook page, yet she posted this video in dedication to my DH. She screwed up their marriage & was the one who chose to leave over & over. I feel like a dumbass for feeling this way, but I kind of feel sorry for her...

"White Flag"

I know you think that I shouldn't still love you,
Or tell you that.
But if I didn't say it, well I'd still have felt it
where's the sense in that?

I promise I'm not trying to make your life harder
Or return to where we were

I love my stepkids

Regardless of their piercings, whatever tattoos they decide they want to have on themselves throughout their lives, the music they choose to listen to, or what they choose to eat or not eat...I really love my stepkids & hope that one day they'll realize how much they mean to DH & I.

OP deleted my comment, so I'm posting it here...

I posted a comment on someone else's blog in polite disagreement but it was deleted. I can only guess to make it appear as though everone agrees with the OP's thoughts. So, I'm posting it in my own blog.

As far as people passing judgement on a man who cares deeply for his girlfriend's daughter,

In a bit of a funk today...

I have posted before about the situation we have with BM. Long story short, BM was absent for 4 years when skids were young. She came back & told them she was terminal with Stage 4 Hodgkins Lymphoma. Skids wanted to spend her last 8 months with her, so DH let them go. Turned out to be untrue. 6 years later she's a bigger pain in the ass than she's ever been. We know she truly has had cancer. She had it when she & DH were still together. She lied about the severity of it to convince skids to forgive her for leaving & to get them to want to be with her.

Inspired by Pantera's blog about obsession with BM

I've found SD13's obsession with BM to be quite disturbing. Everything SD13 is about mirrors from BM. Her choices in clothing, her favorite shows, her favorite music, her fascination with tattoos & piercings, her love of angels/fairies, her favorite color, etc. Oddly, every "favorite" that BM has is SD13's "favorite" too. How many 13-year old girls have "The Cure" videos & "Duran Duran" & "Depeche Mode" music posted on their profiles? How many 13-year old girls would use the phrase, "I am fascinated by tattoos & piercings" when listing her interests on her profile.

Not sure what's best...

SS is turning 17 on Friday. DH hasn't spoken to him since his last birthday. We're can't quite agree on how to acknowledge it. Of course, I realize SS isn't my child, & the decision isn't mine to make. DH's kids have completely blocked him out of their lives & he's incredibly hurt. We've talked it to death. I've explained that part of it is their ages. They're selfish. Of course, as a selfish teen, I didn't block either of my parents out of my life...though there were times I wished I could.
