I can only hope that the past week has been a begining of a change but I'm not getting my hopes up.  Ok, SD15 planned 5 days at her BM's.  Well, SD came home early unexpectedly and without notice.  My SO was surprised as well as myself and my kids (DD18 and DS15).  SD was acting kind and reserved.  She was social and did not demand ALL attention on her.  I was shocked and so was my SO.  The day SD left for BM's he sat her down and gave her a firm talkingto about who is in charge and who she is living with now.  I do not know what happened at BM house but I do like the difference I see. 

I am enganged to a mand with a daughter 15 and son 23.  I have a daughter 18 and a son 15.  Last night just took the cake for me.  My SO and I have been working hard toovercome the "blended family issues".  BM is toxic and SD is constantly helping BM to interfere in our lives.  Last night SD refuses to come to my home so she calls her dad to tell him how she made plans for then for Thanksgiving.  SD planned for her, her father, her best friend, and her best friends mom to spend Thanksgiving together without me and my children.  That just truly takes the cake with how SD is causing problems
