I have to give you credit, you must have gone to great lengths to find my FH's name and then find him on Facebook. And great job on your detective work! You also figured out the name of my SD8...you must be so proud of yourself. Although I feel sad for you that you have nothing better to do than to spend all this time in your life just trying to hurt people who are already struggling with their emotions...way to kick a family when they're down.

I'm so thankful for all of you...update on SD8...

Just wanted to thank all of you for some of the best advice this week. SD8 goes in today for her upper endoscopy. The grandparents are taking her. FH wanted to but can't miss more work...anyway, he said it's probably best that he isn't there...he can hardly stand seeing her go through that anyway.

Things are still a little touchy...maybe a break from SD8 will help...

SD8 is going to spend about 4 days with her grandparents. This had already been planned over the weekend...before our big argument (not sure if you could really call it an argument...let's say our "relationship rift"). She is fine...yesterday she spent ALL day long with daddy (he took off work and kept her home from school) and they had a fun day together and she had no tummy pains and NO spit-ups from the acid reflux.

Well this weekend will be all about SD8....again....

SD8 had acid reflux today. Daddy picked her up early from school. As soon as I got home, he left with her to take her to the clinic. Was I just a neglectful mother or something??....I never took my BS18 or BD14 to the clinic for acid reflux. ??? I think he's overreacting. He did say that the doctor said it's gastritis. I feel bad that she has this, but geez...my son had it too...still does...and I give him some Tums and he's fine. SD8 won't take Tums cause they're "gross".

Sort of OT...does anyone else ever just break down and lose it....

Man, yesterday I had the biggest pity party. It kind of all started the day before. The only part that was step related was my general irritability about the way FH coddles SD8. Most everything else was just life in general. Being screwed over by companies I deal with, being taken advantage of by people (mostly at work), BD14 giving me lip, not seeing my BS18 for days, FH giving me the cold shoulder night before last and then leaving his phone in his car last night (so I couldn't vent to him about anything). On top of all this being at a hormonal time of the month...I just lost it.

Not step related...but what would you think?

I go on FH's facebook this morning to find a message a woman left on his wall that says, "Sorry, my battery died when we were talking." Then she tells him what city she lives in. I'm not a jealous type of person, but why is my FH talking to someone on the phone who he obviously doesn't know well enough to know where she lives?

Need objective and honest opinions

After speaking to my therapist on Saturday about my jealousy issues, one thing she made me understand is that some of my issues could be jealousy, but some could be genuine concern with an inappropriate situation. She said when I am facing a situation that makes me feel "jealous" to step back and observe it from an "outsider's" point of view. For example, SD8 stroking FH's chest hair while sitting on his lap on the couch...if I were a neighbor or a family friend, would I feel uncomfortable seeing this?
