Hi,
I blogged here some weeks ago and asked for advice about my husband's birthday dinner and should I include SD. She and I have been estranged for several years now and last time I included her in a dinner she was rude to me in front of my guests. Your advice to me was to be nice and have DH invite her since it was his birthday. FYI - DH asked if I would personally invite her but I said no on that one: I personally invited her last time, she was rude and DH did not stand up for me.

I don't think so! Brief history: I've disengaged from SD28 and DH & I haven't spoken to or interacted with BM since SD turned 18. BM worked hard to turn SD against DH and almost suceeded. We found out that BM told SD that DH gave her an STD and that is why she divorced DH. The truth is that BM was secretly engaged while married to DH, DH found out and they divorced. DH told SD the truth after she turned 21. During the times that we had to interact with BM it was hell.

Steptalk...a place to vent.

When I first found this site - I came on here and vented about my SD, called her few names, complained about my DH and called him a few names too. Thankfully, no one told me that I shouldn't have married my DH or that I hated my SD and that I was a terrible person with misplaced priorities.

Instead, users wrote me and told me how they had felt the same way, what worked for them in my situation and that I wasn't the selfish bitch that I felt I was.

I don't know anymore.

27 YO SD has a new major - this will be her 4th (I think) Nursing. So okay - I've disengaged and none of my business, right?

I assumed that DH was paying for it. What I've found out is that DH has co-signed loan papers so that SD can quit work (waitress job) and attend school full time. DH also told me that SD is getting grants to fund this next endeavor. When I asked if SD had been accepted to the nursing program yet - DH didn't know for sure. But he signed loan papers????
