I don't know what to do, she sent it to his personal email not our joint email. I checked it because he had emailed some folks about a condo and I was weeing if they had replied and if it was available. He hasn't seen it yet and probably won't for a while due to work schedule.
Do I speak to him, confront her, what? She bashed me on the net. She is going through her second divorce in a year, she has told my Dh Love ya (to my phone - claimed it was an accident) and then posted a blog that she was still in love with him

Sometimes there are not words to describe the emotions something evokes....

DAYTON, Ohio -- A judge declared a mistrial Monday in the case of a woman accused of killing her month-old baby by burning her in a microwave, finding that new defense witnesses bolster her innocence claim.

Judge John Kessler made the decision after hearing testimony privately from a juvenile who said he was at the apartment complex of defendant China Arnold on the August 2005 night that her infant died.

Well, you know once you set boundaries, you will be tested. Saturday H had his 6 yrold D over for her bday and was taking her to a kids show. He wanted me to not go to church Sunday so that I could stay with SS. (He didn't want me to take his S with me because their faith is Jeh.Wit. even though they don't practice it faithfully.

If I repeat myself I'm sorry,just need to talk.After a weekend away I went back to BF's and 'SS' was there.Friday I was fine and upbeat.Sat and Sun 'SS' came.His phone went off in the living room anytime from 5 a.m and woke me up.I went and turned it off (I thought).Then it went off again, so I'm up again.All the time BF and 'SS' are sleeping.'SS' says it wakes him up for school in the WEEK (where he lives at BM's).Put it in your room then or turn it off at wknd! We didn't actually argue, we just 'got on' as normal not doing much.

This is why I need tequila

This weekend was interesting. First of all, my mother dyed her hair darker... like mine. Then she bought sunglasses... like mine. Since I've moved back I've noticed that she's beginning to dress like me. God help me. I already look just like her... just darker & younger. Now she wants to be twins. This is why I need tequila. Then I told her I wanted to open a second checking account. She told me that the bank didn't allow that. On what planet?! On hers, where if I don't ask for her opinion, advice or approval, she tries to discourage me from it. This is why I need tequila.

BM accusations

New to the site but not really new to the stepmom thing been one for about 6yrs. Never felt like I had anyone who understood what I go through as a stepmom and birthmom with my own ex's and DH's exs, then I found this site been reading for days feel as though I know you all. Anyways what made me start looking for help was a new custody battle with one BD and one SS. Plus husband and my BD13 having a hard time getting a long. DH court case will be ugly. BM claims to be sick w/ cancer but only to SS not to us. So we don't know if she's sick or what.

Help in MI?

I'm curious about the enforcement of an interim support order that was in effect prior to the divorce and some bills that are just now being discussed. I don't think that any $$ is owed since the bills were incurred in 2006. Am I crazy?

Did fate step in on time??

Hi, everyone...I wrote earlier this week about BM calling a hearing over CS issues, again, and we are out of state and could not make it. I recieved alot of very good advice here on what to do, and was in the middle of communicating with the state of FL. trying to request a telephonic hearing, and to petition the court on the long shot of modifying CS. again, when yesterday, my DH got a notice at work that he is now under an income deduction order for the CS $$ , so now BM. will be sure to get a check every week.
