Rubbing salt in an open wound - SD!!!
Last night, my DH (at my suggestion) has taken his son to dinner at their favorite restaurant. I stayed home. I thought it would be great for them to spend time together after his horrible day yesterday with SD14. Long story....read the previous blog. He gave her to her mother after deciding that no matter how bad her house is and the lack of rules he couldn't win in court. Apparently BM and teenagers have all the rights.

She left. That is it....
I am absolutely blown away. Last night without any discussion he took her to her mothers and came home. I was up in our room trying to stay out of the way of everything. He said he doesn't want to discuss it. Something happened to make him do this so fast. At lunch he was talking about having his last week with her and for me to stay out of it. I did, I stayed out of the way. I asked if she was able to pack a bag, he said no, she left with the bag she came over with on Monday.

Long summer!
We are still waiting for the final papers from the lawyers on giving up custody of SD14. I wish there was a way to make this go faster. If she fights this DH is going to go for full Custody of both kids. I don't want him to, because I don't want to spend that kind of money. He will pay for it, but then complain for months that his savings is depleted. Also, if we win which we could, do we really want an angry 14 year old in the house daily. 50/50 is hard enough.

Just want to rip off the band-aid...
DH has decided to let her go. No fight. Nothing. Now it is in the lawyer's hands. He is asking for several things with this. If SS11 decides to live in one house over the other, the other parent can't fight it. Also, we have no financial obligation to her ever. She can't decide to come back and forth, everything has to be agreed to by DH. He wants to leave visitation at his discretion. Right now he wants nothing to do with her. But, he wants to leave it open for the future.

And now it begins...Served papers today.
Well BM served us this morning seeking to change the CO of SD14. 8:00 AM and the Sheriff's dept was in the driveway. Told him we were expecting it. SD14 announced that she no longer wanted to live here. He told me his own kids put him through the same thing. He stopped fighting it and now no longer sees his kids. Told me to tell DH you can keep fighting, but in the end, it won't matter. His comment as let her live with mom and when she cries to come back in a month, tell her no "she made this bed, go lie in it". I agree with him.

Does a teenager really have that much control over our lives....
I need advice...What happens if the SD14 decides she no longer wants to come here. She told her Dad that it didn't matter what he said she was 14 now and she can live where she wants. Does a 14 year old have that right.
Letter to BM - Need advice - Very long!!!
Last week I sent a letter to BM. In 5 years I have only had to communicate with her 3 times. That was limited to receiving medicine and small talk. She has started to undermine my husband with the kids and telling them to keep secrets from their Dad. I sent the following letter over to her and she blasted DH with Voicemails and an email and then nothing since. SD14 announced over the weekend that she no longer was going to live here and there was nothing that DH could do about it. The kids left on Monday for their week with their mom.

I really was naive...
I tried to disengage, but now it is probably too late. My SD14 decided that since she is now 14 she and mom have been researching for her to choose where she lives. There is a long story to this. I will try and be somewhat brief. She and her mom have been lying to my husband about several issues. Apparently she has been dating a boy for the last few months She has been told countless times no dating until 16. Mom told her to not tell her Dad. We found out and all hell has broken loose. She was with a friend for Spring Break and came home and told this to her Dad.

Ugh!!! Bad Situation all around
Well it was a great week with the kids. No major skirmishes after SD13 mouth off. All was good until DH and I went out on Saturday night and SS11 dropped a bomb on my son and asked him not to tell me or his dad or he won't be able to go to his mom's house anymore. Well my son told me on Sunday on his way to his Religous Ed class. Ironic... He looked so panicked to tell me. I told him it was okay and he should never keep secrets from me. I have been saying that since the kid was a baby.

SD mouthy again!!
I have been disengaging well lately. Which is better for my marriage. However, last night SD13 was arguing with her dad while he was making dinner. Yes - I insisted on two nights a week that he is responsible for dinner on their week. He is distracted and she is working on him letting her go to her friends house friday through Sat. He was saying no because it is too long. To make this shorter she tries all the time to be gone on our weekend. She is allowed one night of the two at a friends or they come here.
