So I had to vent. I feel so bad for SD (almost 11). My husband and BM recently concluded a year & a half custody battle, judge never made a decision, husband was tired of waiting and settled with BM. SD is with us all summer and most holidays according to new agreement, but is to spend most of school year (with the exception of every other weekend) with BM. BM was allowed a one week vacation with SD. That just so happened to be this past week. She didn't even take one day off to spend with SD so SD spent her whole week watching TV and playing on the computer - we have her enrolled in a summer camp that she loves (BM of course wouldn't let her go there for her week). Yesterday - before pickup time- BM and SD got into a huge arguement over a shirt I bought SD. No real reason - not showy or derogatory (I don't let her wear inappropriate clothing here). So SD goes and hides in the closet crying and BM tracks her down, and tells her she's going to take a picture of her crying in the closet and post it on her facebook for everyone to see what a baby she is. Of course this upset SD even more and she called her dad up crying and begging for him to come pick her up early. Then last night we were all watching a movie after I put my BD down to sleep and she referred to BM by her first name. This was a first.

I just feel so bad, this all happened only after a week of them spending time together - and it's not even like she spent that much time with her - BM worked all week. This is our last full week with her until Thanksgiving - how are things going to be when SD is with BM for the school year and only having every other weekend as a break. My heart is broke over the situation
