Watched a Netflix Movie with my dh

My dh & I watched a movie he picked out on Netflix. "Twelve Mile Road" with Tom Selleck.

Summary of what the movie is about:
""When a troubled girl spends the summer at her estranged father's farm, their lives and the lives of those around them are changed for seasons to come."

The movie certainly would never win any "Best in picture" or anything for that matter. I think my dh wanted to watch it because it mentions "estranged father".

Merry Christmas My Fellow Steptalkers!!!

Is it abuse or is it just down right funny? You be the judge.

Each morning my cat Thomas gets all fired up and rips his way throughout our home and ends up jumping into our jacuzzi bath tub and flops around. It has actually become his morning ritual. I have several times In jest mentioned I should surprise Thomas by leaving water in the tub.

Is there a way to do "key word" searches on StepTalk?

I have not been on Step Talk that long but really love the site. Wish I had found it 10 years ago when I first became a stepmom. Now that I have found it I want to ask questions about things that happened in the past but for some reason it is not well received by others on step talk.

DH & I are estranged from two (msd & yss) and we are starting to have a better relationship with the 3rd (osd).

Went to the dreaded Baptisim/Birthday/House Warming

I can not say how much I dreaded going to this gathering but I went. Before leaving my home I placed the local Sheriff and local police departments phone numbers in my phone,(just in case) then I sincerely prayed about it all. I had made up my mind before leaving that I would be very nice and even if I had a rude confrontation from any of the haters I would only be kind. I was told that the msd that we had not seen in 5 years would be there and she was not. The skids bm was there but she was polite. I worried all in vain and now I am glad I went.

Invited to Baptism/birthday party/house warming

My osd28 has invited us to multi-purpose get together. Our new infant gs Catholic Christening, Birthday party for 6 year gs and a house warming party for osd & her spouse. I really dread being around all the "haters". BM who plays the sweet little innocent victim, thieving ss who has not talked to us in over 6 mos which is the 2nd estrangement from him, and msd who has not had anything to do with us in 5 years. BM has pas'ed the skds. I am not just saying I have been a good sm, I HAVE.

I have over the years kept a journal but then five years ago when the MSD stopped having anything to do with us I quit. I really should have really continued to keep it but I was just so hurt and just did not want to continue to write down what was happening. I started reading my old journal the other day and what I find is that things were actually worse. I KNOW that I have been a good stepmom. I have bent over backwards for the skids and given and given and given, only to be a target of their hate. My dh has been blind time and time again to their behavior.
