WHAT THE F**K
I am going crazy everytime I think my husband and I are doing great something else happens. I was pissed he missed my nieces birthday party to go hunting but he is a hunter I knew that. Then I get home and we are snuggling and he says to me that his sons BM is going to get their son who is 4 a puppy. Why did this piss me off, because it did. We have a dog that is hers that she did not take, another dog she got was hit by a car, then another one she claims bit her so she gave it away and now she wants another one. Last month my SS was sent home from head start because the teachers thought he had chicken pox, but he had a LOT of flea bites from her house, she has a cat. She said she had to flea bomb her trailer twice, and now she wants a dog she cant even take care of what she has now. She is saving for a house because we just built a house, she did not put her son on her insurance when she could have to save money, she pays for child health plus, mind you my husband pay 600 a month in CS and they have split custody and split placement my SS goes back and forth every 3 days and he still has to pay that much. She said she didnt want to pay the extra 70 a month for him to have insurance even thought in court papers it states when resonable either parent should get insurance right away, it would only cost her 200 a month for family, it will cost us 400 but we are going to do it, I just married my husband in OCT. so it takes a little bit to get the insurance issue out of the way, it is a lot of money but insurance is IMPORTANT, I cant believe she didnt get him on hers in June when it was affordable. She wont call our new house because it is long distance even thought my husband pays 600 a month she says she is saving for a new house. Why do I care, WHy do I let all of this get to me, I think it is because I do not want her to have anything nice, she has tried 4 times to get me fired, I have had to have her arrested for threatening to kill me and then breaking the order of protection, I am a teacher I cant have her saying I broke confidentiality laws, she has called DSS on me tring to get our foster daughter removed. I hate her for all she has done and they she talks to my husband like they are buddies, he tries to get their son and leave on pick up days but she is always saying something, I just want to SCREAM, how do I let go and not let her bother me, I am sick of fighting with my husband about her, I truly believe he is doing the best he can and has his sons best interest at mind. He only is friendly to keep face infront of their son, he never wants to argue with her, why do I care if she wants a dog or a house. I just want to let go, they go to court in DEc. for full custody, HELP, HELP, HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ok, Maybe just a little insight
"To Thine Own Self Be True" William Shakesphere
I find myself on here more and more, as little things in life are becoming bigger and bigger in my mind. And I think it's because I have so much unleased rage at how I've been treated by H and SD17, that the fuse is getting shorter day by day. Even tho I promised myself to detach. I'm not doing well at that.
Could it be that is what is going on with you? You're newly married, the ex has tried her absolute best to interfere with your happiness, to get you fired, and these are big things. Could the inner rage at the unfairness of it all be what is bringing you to the boiling point over her getting a dog? Her getting the dog (or a house) is just a symbol to you of how she attempts to run your life, but you have no affect on hers?
I had alot of rage at my first H. And let me tell, ya, I ran alot of miles, lifted alot of weights, to release it. And that worked pretty well, plus I got in very good shape. But I can't seem to bring myself to do this right now. I'm just too tired. It's called depression. Meantime, I continue to attempt to teach myself to detach....
I hope you find some peace in your mind-a place where your H's ex, puppy, home, won't upset you so very much. With your SS being only 4, you've got alot of years ahead raising him and she will be there, always in the background.
