OT - BS17 and College....Update

Jsmom's picture

Well my lovely son admitted that he was trying push my buttons...Nice! He is still focused on the degree program I insisted on, and has a new back up plan that I can live with and so can he. Early admittance to his first choice and 2nd choice. 2nd choice is a degree in Microbiology and then transfer in two years to his first choice for a degree in Biomedical Engineering. I can live with that. The less general the degree program, the better off he will be.

OT - BS17 driving me insane....Getting him to college may actually break me.

We know where he wants to go. We know he will get in. He wants a backup plan. Fine. We had one worked out, but they do not have a degree program that makes sense for him. I have insisted on an engineering degree in order to ensure he gets a job. For what he wants to do it makes the most sense, since if he gets the degree he wants, he has to have a doctorate or at the very least a Masters. If he has a degree in Biomedical Engineering instead of Biology, he can get a job. A real job that pays money and would probably pay for his other degrees. I am done when he finishes undergrad.

Well she got her license....Hopefully she doesn't kill someone...

SD15 posted on Facebook that she got her license. Made it by 4 points...Given how half assed she does everything, I am not surprised. At least it doesn't look like BM gave her a car. She is driving BM's in all the pictures they posted. Since she is failing three classes, maybe smart parenting will win out on that one.

I thank god, she is not on our insurance. BS17 is enough for now...

Another Blog got me thinking...How many of us have used the word NEVER when it comes to our Stepkids?

I have told DH several times, that SD15 is NEVER coming back into this house. I will move out and will consider divorce without hesitation. She has pushed me to this place with her lies and manipulation. I know there are others of us that feel the same way.

Met with Therapist...Outcome not what I expected...

I met with the therapist that I found yesterday for mediating the meeting with BM. Went over the history with her. Hour later and she feels it serves no purpose to have a meeting with BM. Said that this would solve nothing. She will not change and I really need to take my power back and stop letting her comments to people and family get to me. Duh!! Knew that already. She thinks I should maybe do a few sessions with my personal therapist to get back to not letting her be a factor.

What the hell was I thinking???

I sent a last email to BM after she sent an email calling me an angry bitter woman. Yes, I responded. I suggested that we meet at a therapists office to work on our tenuous relationship. I figured it would call her bluff and she wouldn't do it.

I was wrong and got an email just now telling me her availability and to set it up. Crap!!! I am so sure this will not end well. Sent the email to DH and asked him how he wanted to deal with it.

Reply from BM and volunteering. Now no one is volunteering.

BM has replied to my email.

I have no problem with us both being there at the same time, even considering all that you have done to SD and DH's relationship. I would not be the one to act aggressively towards you. Do you feel that you cannot handle yourself in a mature manner around me? I can handle myself peacably around you for SS13's sake. It truly is a shame that you feel you cannot control your behavior even for SS13.

School mixing me up with BM...I had to send email to BM explaining.

Well at 7:30 this morning, my SS13 teacher called apologizing that they had screwed up again and had been sending emails to BM about his Survivor Day this spring and volunteering. I wondered why I had not seen anything about it. I had volunteered last fall to help them when they desperately asked at the Open House for help and no one stepped up. I did clear it with my SS who at that time had been asking me to chaperone a field trip.

Adult Spousal Status...

DH last week told me that I get all upset when BS17 says he doesn't like something I do and how it stresses me out. I agree to a certain extent, but he is my only child and I am a helicopter mom. This is understandable given his brother and father died on me in my 30's and he was all I had for many years.
