I want to scream. SS18 is one of the most idiotic kids I have ever met in my life. He is like a 12yr old in an 18yr old's body. After forcing a text go through Do Not Disturb a week or so ago at 12:30am on a weeknight asking DH how far down a condom should go on, (it didn't wake DH up, but it did wake me up so I saw it), he called DH last night in a panic.
Hi,
This is my first blog although I have been here for a while.
I got married fuve years ago. My SD is 12 and SS is 15 now. I always thought we had a good relationship and that they love me. I love them too with all my heart. I watched them grow and develop. I am always there for them, for school issues, for emotional support, for help with friends and even with dad. I thought I was doing well enough to nurture and nourish them.
I haven't had anything to do with my skids for 7 weeks and it turns out that if I don't make any effort then nothing happens! I think my DH has text his son a couple of times, not sure if he replied... I am loving the peace and quiet. I'm also not feeling one bit guilty - and that's what I've come to tell you lovely people as I think in the outside world this would induce a horrified gasp!
I should clarify, transition *to* our house is the worst. Transition to our house fills me with dread and anxiety. Transition *from* our house provides me peace and joy.
I cannot believe what has happened. Sorry I feel like a blog hog lately but the amount of drama these skids are doing is crazy.
Dh told me yesterday when he got home from the shop that he received another text from SD. He just gave me his phone and sighed.
Well last night Little Idiot texted DH "Do you guys want me coming up for Christmas this year?" (Her usual reach-out at Christmas time). When DH told me, my stomach immediately dropped. Usually I at least get to enjoy Halloween before she reaches out and the dread of her visit sets in. DH answers "Of course we do! (Ugh speak for yourself!) Let me know the dates so we can buy the tickets (for your 24-year-old-never going-to-buy-your-own-adult self)
So SS came over this weekend by himself as SD threw her tantrum and didn't want to come, 100% condoned by Toxic BM.
Would you want a 13 year old teenager (being diagnosed with autism) living with you full time if he has had numerous outbursts of being violent (in social disagreements as he struggles to regulate emotion or sometimes instigated by himself) and ignoring female boundaries at school (putting his hands on females even though he had been asked not to) his excuse being he didn't think anything would come of it? I do not feel comfortable with this at all, it is repeated behaviour that has been addressed by me, the school and his father many times but it continues.
Hello, ST community...
It's been a while since I've been here. After a long and painful last few months, so much has happened!!!
First... partner and I have been working together to drop the guilt (particularly my partner) and do what's gotta be done. This has been a success, but ultimately we cannot control what kids do. They are still little people and make choices in their behaviors and actions. That being said, this whirlwind of a last few months has gained us SO much insight...
Teens tend to have attitude. I get it. I'm sure I did it on rare occasions (but was never allowed to get away with it).
