Today the kids left with BM for the summer.
I am really trying to just enjoy DH but I am scared.
And what the heck is this pain in my chest? Those little snots have touched me so deeply that I can't seem to bear being without them.
OUCH.

My Stepfather Was One of My Greatest Teachers

A teenager posted on here this evening and besides being annoying, it did make me stop and think about my stepfather.
He was 20 years older than my mother and she was his home nurse. My father tried to deport my mother (she was from England and her Green Card expired) after they divorced (married 27 years). My father left my mother for my current SM - I am civil to my SM but am too old to cause drama in their lives. She has married the fool and now she is paying for it.

The Price of Anonymity

I know one of the policies of Steptalk is no names but sometimes I want to give BMs name so anyone who meets her knows her for the fake she is. As for the Golden Rule, it wouldn't matter if she did it to me because I honestly don't think I have done anything for her to get as upset as I do.

This is so petty but I am sick of hearing from people that DH and her still keep in contact with that BM is such a sweet person etc. Is it that people can't fathom the horrific things a mother is capable of doing?

I am Not Dealing With It! When YOU Live in MY Home, Then Maybe I Will Listen to You ... Actually, NO.

In a nutshell, SS11 is in trouble for being disrespectful. Don't care as to what the source is ... DH is gone for business this week.
I am not putting up with his tantrums.
BM called and spoke to SS9 - her second choice. He told her she can't talk to him because he is grounded in his room for the night. She flipped and called DH - while he is on business - to yell that I have no right to stop her talking to her son.
I have done this before and told SS11 to call her when he isn't grounded.
Do you know WHY I do this?

Gotta Get Out of Here!

SS11 is getting under every bit of my skin. Yes I am letting him. But he is whining about his mother more and more. It's a week away until they leave and while it devastates me every year when they leave, I get over it after a couple of weeks and enjoy the time DH and I have with each other.
DH is also very edgy at the moment. Grrr.

How DO I Get Over This?

Grrr! How do I deal with this BM? I am so sick of being angry!!! Yesterday, due to the fact that I am having a hard time rationalizing behavior lately ... I blew up at DH for his relationship with his ex! You can't hold people accountable for the past ... just fix it or fix the future rather as in don't make the same mistakes.
SO I yelled at him for marrying this woman and having children with her and now I am trying to help SS9 who truly is healing but I feel like SS11 is a lost cause. I just get so damn frustrated!

No Baby of My Own. I Will Get Over This. I Know it.

In high school, there were four of us that hung out all together - like the Golden Girls. The last of us is now pregnant - but really, I am the last one, and I have yet to get pregnant. I am a stepmother which to ME is being parent.
Today my dearest friend said she is finally going to have a baby. I told her congratulations but I realized I don't have any of my own. JUST WHEN I THOUGHT I WAS OVER THIS wanting my own baby thing ...
