My predictions about SD are coming true...

Jsmom's picture

As you know from my last blog, SD15 is in LA with some girlfriends and no apparent supervision. BM didn't let DH know and she is supposed to according to the court.

The pictures on Facebook are very telling...I was accused of calling her a slut and BM made sure to tell everyone who would listen that I said it when she was 13. Came up in mediation and all the documents from the lawyer and countless emails to SIL and DH.

SD depressed my ass!!!

Well as you know I log into Facebook with my son's password to check on SD15. BM being the wonderful mother she is has apparently allowed her and two friends to go to Los Angeles for a few days. DH still has legal custody and she is supposed to let DH know if the kids are going out of town. Of course, DH will know nothing about this.

We have come so far....It is almost over....

Well as of Tuesday the final paperwork is executed and being filed with the court. DH has SS13 and BM has SD15. No CS. No visitation for DH for SD15. It is at her discretion. Which basically means none...Total brat! SS13 has 9 more weekends with his mom and 2 weeks broken up during the summer. THen in July when he turns 14 he gets to decide if he wants to see her. If his attitude towards her is any indication, there will be very little. I have mentioned that he should try to think about dinners once a month with her. She is still his mom.

DH and I finally had some time alone and I had some relevations...

We went and had dinner in a really neat place out in the country. They are building all these homes and have a small downtown area. Horseback riding, a farm. It is a self-sustaining community. The houses were lofts and some small houses and some very neat architecture homes overlooking small lakes and woods. Everything really eclectic and very cool. Not one house looked the sames. It is 25 minutes from our house. When it is more developed, I want to sell my house and move there. My son will be off to college in less than two yeas and SS13 will be right behind. I work from home.

Final paperwork almost done....SD is hopefully no longer a problem...Yeah Right!

DH finally got the final paperwork for custody of the kids. SS13 will reside with us and SD15 resides with mom. DH is still legally her guardian with BM, but not custodial. It is left up to SD if she wants to see her dad. Well in 19 months, she has seen him twice for a quick meal. She initiated twice and cancelled twice.

Somedays it doesn't pay to get out of BED!!!

I leave the house for thirty minutes to see the doctor for a check up after my oral surgery last week. He gives me more prescriptions and I go the drugstore to fill them. Inside, I run into a woman that dropped DH and I like a bad habit when all the problems with BM started. She asks how DH is? Looking at me with such pity...I let loose. I should have walked away. But, I am tired of everyone thinking that we caused all this mess. My answer was he was fine now, but when SD sued us he was very upset at the time. She said she couldn't have sued you. How does that work?

Interesting article. I wish they had gone into more depth but, at least someone recognizes that we are a non-entity to so many individuals in our kids lives.

Relevations about SD and her "depression"

Jsmom's picture

Well after all this mess and DH and I barely speaking for a week, I realized that he is keeping secrets from me. I don't know what to think anymore. This changes our marriage and of course SD and BM have an impact once again on my life. He believes she is depressed and he is a fool. She blew him off for lunch on Sunday after she initiated it. I am sure it is because she can't fake depression to him like she can to her mom. She is on Facebook with her friends and new stupid pics posted daily. She is not depressed.

DH in a mood all week and of course it is SD related....SD insititutionalized

But why tell me what is going on? I am just your wife. Last week I had some major dental surgery that has taken everything out of me. In lots of pain and a little bitchy. I get that, but he was just mean all week to me and BS16. Turns out he found out that SD15 was put on a three day hold at a hospital for depression. He finds out because he received the hospital bill. Of course, BM wouldn't tell him anything or think to call him.
