and has been all along. This isn't my first arrival at that conclusion. Ahhhh, I'll try to shed some light. This weekend my husband was out of town on a fishing trip leaving me home with my SD, my 10 and 6 yr old bio and the 10 yr old had a friend over whose mom is a single mom newly dating a guy about 6 hours away. So we had a relatively good weekend. SD and I had one big blowup about some failing grades, but we worked through it mainly because she knows when I say something I am going to stick with it. My husband is a different story.
First off, I must say that marrying DH is the best thing I've ever done in my life. He is a beautiful soul and in 12 days we will be at our 1 yr anniv. He backs me in pursuing my personal goals and basically is the best provider that I've ever been with. I quit my job in Oct 08 b/c I am in Nursing School (first yr to be completed May 21, 09). We have a wonderful relationship when it's just him and I. He gets SD4 and I feel like I start to lose it.
StepTalk is the first stepparent forum that I have actively become involved in. And dont get me wrong, I love this site, Im just curious.
I have noticed that there are a few other forums out there. I have browsed one or two and looked through a list I found printed in the back of a book I just finished reading. Have any of you been on any of the other sites? Is there a big difference between sites? And if you have been on those sites, which ones are you most active in? If StepTalk, why have you chosen this site over others?
I got so made when I got the copy of the letter from the attorney I walked for almost an hour!
So...should I take this as a good omen??? or that my marriage is doomed!!
I am so tired of worrying about the money that is going out the door for this stupid case!!
Dh is tired of talking about it so that's why I am on here...I wonder how I have made it this far without drugs!!
BM is a plump person that had 3 kids and only 1 of the 2 isn't considered obese. That's how the custody issue started...DH doesn't take them to the doctor about their weight. Hmm...she doesn't see a doctor about her weight. She pushed the issue after years of feeding the kids junk food. My MIL has told me that she didn't cook (mind you I don't but at least try to cook something more than ramen noodles and hot dogs)
I am a little upset tonight as I am starting to wonder who I am anymore. I was once a single and loving it independent and in love with my freedom career minded kinda gal. Six and a half months ago that changed when I married my DH and became Stepmom to his now 8 year old son. I am upset because tonight I realize just how much I am mourning that freedom I once so enjoyed. The girls from school are getting together tonight for a few drinks. But I couldnt go. Nope. DH is on afternoons and since I get off work at 7 on Fridays I get the responsibility of his child.
Steptalkers, I want to apologize for my haphazardly written previous posts. I was at work and just full of despair. Allow me to introduce myself with a little more information.
Not.
I'm just really irritated right now and need to vent...BM told FH that she was going to pick up SD tomorrow night instead of Sunday morning about 3 weeks ago because her new son's Baptism is early Sunday morning. Great, less time with SD and a free Saturday night are fine with me. My aunt is having a "Dos de Mayo" party tomorrow night (since Cinco de Mayo is on a weeknight) so SD going home after dinner tomorrow is even better cuz FH and I get to go to a party afterwards, have a few margaritas and relax right?
Wrong.
Sorry to end that last one so quickly, but I'm at work and was out of time. I can't get on this at home because my wife checks my history everyday, but that's another story altogether. I am just so scared of losing my wife, but I'm afraid that if I don't do something soon it's going to end badly for all of us. As far as the couples counseling, that hasn't worked either. I feel like I get blamed for EVERYTHING!!! Anyway, that you for the advice and anymore is greatly appreciated. I would be more than happy to talk to anybody who is going through that same situation as me.
im new, but ive posted some stuff with the background of how my mil is nuts. She has verbally attacked me many times, threatened my fh.
