I don't know whether to laugh or have a screaming crying rage fit!

I'll be honest that i am torn right now. I'm also on my phone so please excuse my mistypes. Dh took sd to dinner Friday night and asked her what she wanted to do. Sd told him if she discussed it with him he would get in trouble with the judge. Dh set her straight. He explained he needed to know where she was mind wise and she flat out told him she wasn't moving. She told him 3, THREE people!!! 3, three, THREE drum spots were opening up next year for band and her band director said one spot was hers if she continued to practice. So she isn't moving because she earned this. Dh told her no matter what she wouldn't be a drummer in the band at that school because she refused to take allery meds and therefore had to live out of our school zone. So sd said, and get this people, she said, "so i will take allergy meds." She said it all while looking at him like he was stupid. Dh told her to prove it so when they left and went to a pharmacy she took it like it was no big deal. She took Claritin. They waited an hour and then he surprised ds and I by bring her by. She had some sneezing and watery eyes but overal she was fine. She spent the weekend at our house and the mornings she had it rough till the meds kicked in. We vacumed and wiped couches down and swept alot. I'm just torn on wanting to be happy and wanting to rip her damn neck off for the bull she has put us through!! Dh called his lawyer this morning to see what this means but he hasn't heard back. Bm gave birth to a cow, or at least i think she did with how she was screaming and carrying on when sd got home.

Claritin does not work well and wears off way before 24 hours. It also does not really start to work until several days until it builds up in the system.

Have her take Zyrtec or Allegra- they work much better. She can even take Zyrtec twice a day, if she needs to.

The key is consistency- taking them every single day.

I have been taking Zyrtec daily for about 20 years.

The pharmacist mentioned to dh about taking a vitamin C packet when she has a reaction. That should help stop it?

I never heard of that. Do not want to give identifying info- but this is my area of profession.

So because bm has other kids my dh shouldn't have custody? What if dh had other kids? Would it be okay then? Kids don't just belong to their mothers.

Thank you toastergirl. I don't understand why some people don't think dh is just as good a parent as bm. She made the decision to marry a military man knowing he would have to move one day. Dh has been a part of his dds life since she was born. Why should he not raise his dd because bm chose a mate with a career that moves him. She made her choice.

The only problem I foresee is hex manipulating or bribing SD into moving. I have no doubt that SD can take the medicine, but will she continue to take it if hex pulls the melodramatic "I cannot live without you, and I'm sure I can buy you a car once you get to Texas"? SD will fall like dominoes for the hook line and sinker. Then use the allergies as the "crutch" for why she cannot stay with you.

Maybe when she is 16 but for now sd is only interested in marching band. I am hoping by the time she is 16, sd will have a job and a boyfriend and not want to leave.

SD was playing you and DH .... sorry Libbie but that's the truth....

SD and BM are trying their best so you can get rid of the cat, they do not really care about the allergies, they are simply using it to get to you and SD.... now in future if any one says anything about the cat tell them to suck an egg..
the cat stays, the dog stays, the monkey can drink pills or take something for allergies

She played everyone which is why I don't know if I should be happy for dh or strangle her for all the bull crap she put us through. Her grandparents, dhs parents are LIVID with her right now. Livid!!

in your shoes, I would simply disengage from this manipulative little snot.... leave her to DH,
focus on your daughter and kitty cat.... if SD asks anything from you reply with a friendly smile: ASK YOUR DAD

Disengage Hon, rather now then going through what I went through with Aergia becoming a teen... the knife is still in my back
