SD14 continues to resist

After several tense weeks we addressed concerns with the skids. We explained why I disconnected and was giving them space. It had nothing to do with not liking them, but everything to do with their open non-acceptance of us. We addressed every issue of concern from them not liking the food at our house to them not liking me. We discussed expectations of honesty and at least trying to blend. SS10 started trying. SD14, not so much.

Let the chaos begin.

It's time. They're here. The skids. I dread this week. I would like to say it can't be worse than last but sd19 is home from college. No telling what drama she will try to create. At least she doesn't come eow with the other two.

I shouldn't have such a negative attitude. I'm completely disengaged. Only way to cope.

Trying to be positive

The weekend is approaching. Transition occurs Sunday. I'm trying to be positive. Trying not to let the dread of "his week" settle in. EOW is best for custody. I firmly believe that. I dread it though. It is disrupting my sleep. I feel myself disengaging even before they are here.

I'm attempting to be positive.

Getting Started

I am biomom to two amazing girls, 17 and 14. They have embraced their step-dad and were looking forward to new siblings. He is an amazing man, father and step-dad. His kids? Well, they pretty much dislike us all. I know things could be so much worse, but for us it is bad. There is constant tension. I don't completely blame his children. The oldest is in college, the middle is 14 and the youngest is 10. The middle daughter and youngest son are with us every other week...much to their mother's dismay.
