I remember you! So glad things have calmed for you. Same here. I still have skid issues, but not nearly what they were!!!

Lets hope crackhead BF doesn't knock her up. At least she's with grandma.

HA! No. You can tell by his silence when the past comes up, he knows. As per his typical character, he easily reframes his memory so that things are everyone else's fault. Its all BM's fault SD is the way she is.

Hi Sally! SO and I are still together. Unfortunately, he screwed up at work and got demoted and relocated. I made a conscious decision to keep my job and support myself and BS and stay put. There were no jobs for my field in the area he was moved. Its been 3 years, but he comes home on the weekend. NOT what either of us wanted. Maybe selfish of me, but I refused to put myself in a situation where I was financially dependent upon someone else. Even moreso, since his screw up is what got him moved.

He recently got a promotion and is trying to stay out of trouble, but was relocated farther. In the last year, SS17 went to go live with his dad last fall because he got caught smoking pot and sneaking out of his mom's house. A stroke of luck with crossed lines at verizon, my SO was getting texts that SS was writing to his girlfriend and friends. That's what got him caught. He went straight to BM's and said you are a POS parent and this one is going to make it. He's coming with me.

After some time with SO, SS found he was lonely (SO works a lot) and didn't fit in at the school. Plus SO was getting moved again and we decided SS could come with me. He is doing AMAZING. All A's AP classes and doing extracurricular's with the local aerospace company. Plus a job. Got rid of the stupid girlfriend. He's doing so well.

That's pretty much why he's with me.

Sky! Hello hello! How are you??

Thank you! Yes, I'd keep him no questions asked.

Oh Daizy! So nice to "see" you!!!

SD20... Well, when she was 14 she came to live with us to go to private school (our pubic schools are not very good). She basically didn't like it and wanted to go back to live with BM--After 3 months and $12,000. Off she went. We were lied to by BM and SD for the whole next year and a half and found out she was getting Ds, and Fs and grounded all the time. Finally Sd admitted it to her dad and out came the fact that she and BM lied for over year.

After graduation-- yes surprisingly she graduated sans pregnancy-- she is in community college. I was actually quite happy about that. then ss told me how much she hates school and her grades are bad. He said she's probably going to quit. She smokes pot--a lot-- and works as a cashier. She had her own place with a roommate but now she's back to living with BM. She's had more than 3 traffic accidents-- no doubt high i'm sure-- and her car insurance is through the roof.

None of this is mine or SO's responsibility. He talks all nice and fatherly to her (in that annoying skin crawling guilty dad way) when she visits, but then talks about her being a piece of shit. Way to go dad. We only see her at holidays and that is wonderful!!!

SS17 is amazing. He has real career aspirations and is already taking AP courses. Highly involved in extracurriculars and already pulling together his college list. We get along very well and are probably too much alike for his father's liking, haha. He's a good kid, smart and practical.

How are you!?!?!?

So nice to see you here. I've thought of you on occasion wondering how you are doing

I hope they are not frequent guests.
