DH filed for Contempt of Court!
FINALLY!! Now, yes we completely understand that zero consequences will probably result from this and we aren't expecting anything, but we feel like we can't just sit and do nothing anymore. Crazy has completely stopped following the Communication guidelines in the CO, sends daily messages that are demanding, aggressive, harrassing, and she criticizes almost everything we do. It is exhausting and draining but DH HAS to communicate with her because SD has so many f'ng medical appt's lately that they have to try and coordinate...and in every message Crazy takes the opportunity to argue, insult us, or just be obnoxious. This is just not sustainable for 4-1/2 more years. Plus everything she writes on the app, every nasty thing she says about us, she is also saying to skids, and SD13 is clearly showing signs of PAS- it's also written in the CO that neither parent is supposed to speak negatively about the other, and we made sure to show in the filing that Crazy is doing this and it's affecting SD's mental health. Even if she is just told to abide by the rules, it's something. Also appealing is the thought of her getting served. *biggrin* We're thinking it will happen next week when skids are with us.
DH also filed for mediation to modify the CO- he wants to tighten up some of the guidance to lessen them bickering about who takes SD to what appt, and hopefully completely remove ROFR from the CO, and maybe a few small other things, with the goal to lessen communication with that dumb box even more.
Last week in SD's big Counseling session that DH and Crazy attended so they could create an emergency plan if SD threatens to commit suicide (Btw, Crazy blocked me from coming to this appt, since the Counselor said she needed "both parent's permission for me to attend"...even though I am alone with SD often) SD told the Counselor that Crazy talks negatively about us and doesn't stop when SD asks her to. DH said Crazy looked like a deer in headlights and the Counselor looked at her and said, do you hear what your daughter is saying? You need to do everything in your power to not say negative things about her father and SM. But will she stop? Absolutely not, because she is the most hate-filled, toxic piece of waste I've ever encountered.

Your situation is just
Your situation is just another story about how we as step moms are supposed to love these children, but yet can never be truly a part of their lives. And then people wonder is the years go by while we step moms get filled with so much resentment. And just imagine God forbid your stepdaughter does something to hurt herself when it's just you and her in the house. I don't know your husband, but I can tell you right now that if anything ever happened to my stepdaughter, my DH would blame me and hate me and our relationship would be over.
This is exactly it
That's so unfortunate that your DH would blame you. We are all human, not even Bio parents can completely protect their kids. DH wouldn't blame me at least, he knows and has seen me trying my best to help SD. He was frustrated that I couldn't attend the meeting also. But how does it make ANY sense that I'm expected to be here with her alone, and yet Crazy can send message after message "accusing" me of not caring for skids (she has no proof, she just says things to say them), yet then will block me from being a part of something so important. And me not being a part of the plan when DH is gone does SD NO good. I get all fired up every time I think of it. Especially at the counselor for allowing it, since it's clearly not in the best interest of SD and is not even logical.
"but I can tell you right now
"but I can tell you right now that if anything ever happened to my stepdaughter, my DH would blame me and hate me and our relationship would be over."
That's some bullsh!t right there. I know you get a lot of hate about not wanting your SD around, but it's not her, it's him. How can you stand that warped a-hole?
Get SD's comment to the therapist in front of the Court
as part of the Contempt hearing. Have your attorney depose the Therapist to get it officially documented and make sure it is read in court in front of the Judge and BM.
Great work! Keep it up.
