Any LDS step parents out there....need to find some support....before the missionary process..
SS18 is just getting his paperwork in for his LDS mission. He has been in the care of DH and I since he was 3. He has gone to his moms..on alternating weekends and holidays. He suffers from ADD and HAD reative detatchment disorder...but has been able to overcome allot. I am the one who has helped and encouraged him for the last 15 years to be the best he can be. I helped him work through scouts to earn his Eagle Scout. I am the one who fills out all of the paperwork..for schools, ect..and the one who has been the caretaker of his medical and dental needs.
why do these family gatherings have to have drama
Last night, SS18 graduated. DH and I have been married almost 15 years. SS was 3 when we got married. I have also been the the other mother to SD24 and SD 21. and SS29. we also have 3 boys 13, 12, and 10. I am tried of family celebrations such as last night being ones that are ones that O look back at and thinks anything but happy feelings about. BM now wants SS18 to "hang-out" with her for 6-weeks so they can do a "fairy garden"!! The agreement was that SS would go with her AFTER he had secured a summer job and get jhis mission paperwork started....which is HIS goal!!!

Why is this soooo hard???? Why do I continue to care when there is NO care given back??
SORRY FOR THE LONG STORY..GOTTA VENT!!! Yesterday was my SD21 Grad from JC with her associates Degree. I was not going to be able to go since 2 of my bio boys had a campout I had to get them off on. I messaged SD how proud I was of her and that i was not going to be able to be there....she did not respond...SHE NEVER RESPONDS./...The campout ended up being cancelled and we were able to go after all...sooo....My husband and I with SS18, our 3 bio sons, SD24, grand kids 4 and 2 and their bio mom all went. I actually went early...to save seats for everyone.

Uggg....more and more drama
Last April SS 17 along with BS 12, 11 and 9 got rabbits to show at the county fair. BM knew he was doing this and was ok with it. The fair is in TWO weeks and she has now laid on us that she has planned a family campout for that weekend and she wants him there. Soo.....MONTHS of work is in jeopardy..if he is not at the auction to sell his rabbits IIIII lose out on the $100+ invested in the project and he does not get any profit from selling it. Trying to reason with her has proven fruitless.. she is a piece of work!!

AM I READING TOO MUCH INTO THIS
MY SD21 shared this on her timeline yesterday. I raised her form 8 to 18..and have disengaged from her because she does not respect me or our family. She posted this on her Facebook Timeline yesterday and its bugging the heck out of me. I feel like she is putting it out there to the Fb world that i am an abusive parent....my husbnad thinks it could be "anybody"..of coarse he defends her at every turn////Please help me put a frame around this!! Am I being too sensitive???
HERE IT IS!!!

Thankful for a place to vent!!
Bio mom is driving me crazy right now. THIRTEEN YEARS....I have been married to DH for 13 years and this woman just will not quit. When I married him, the kids were 15, 12, 8, and 3. 15 year old was in a group home for autism, but DH had custody of SD 12, SD8 and SS3. We have also had three boys together. I have done my best across time to raise these kids with my DH and HATE the word step-mom (You know...because you arent a step to be stepped on). Bio mom has mental issues and has always been a "friend" to the skids...and they know that.

I cannot believe what I just heard..LIVID>>STEAMING!!!
A year ago, my SD25 just had her second baby and was shortly thereafter diagnosed with Bipolar. She was so bad that she had to be in the mental hospital for two weeks..and coupld not care for her almost newborn and 2 year old for almost 6 weeks. My DH and I took care of them for the most part. Her BM was not much help at all in the situation and has her own mental issues. SD has been stable for almost a year, but we have been wac=tching her very closely. Of late, my SD had shown some signs of relapse...not a fun thing at all. I have been doing whatever I can to buoy her up.
SS27 Autism and OCD are driving me crazy ...please dont judge..I just have to vent here...or I'm going to lose it!!
I have been married to my DH for over 13 years. When I married him, skids were 15, 12, 8, and 3. The oldest has severe autism and OCd.....and lives in a group home most of the time. We have him home for Holidays and as often as possible. I am venting right now so I don't go crazy. He is 27 years old and I a have a very short fuse when it comes to him lately. When he gets up in the morinig. Its I'm hungry. Where's my breakfast. I have to poop. Where's my spoon....EVERY SINGLE THING!! He knows what to do...but needs constant direction and re-direction .
MY WORLD IS OFFICIALLY ROCKED!!
I have been the been married to my DH for 12 1/2 years. During that time, I basically raised Skids..Who were 15, 12, 8, and 3 at the time we got married. They only went to BM's every other weekend. Also, we had 3 kids together..so a total of 7 kids. The BM was not involved in their day to day life, could not even take care of her apartment and keep it clean when she lived by herself. It was torture for me to send skids to the weekend visits, because there was never structure, disipline....or follow through with homework and such.
