Yes, ladies (and gents) it has been several months since i have been on the site. I am sure that several of you are still familiar with my struggles as a SM of a SD10 and DH has custody of SD. If not, read the past few blogs they arent too long. ANYWAYS...yes, you guessed it...it must be that time AGAIN. The DH got served with Custody and Support papers today. YAY!!! Good Lord, will this ever ever end? Except this time the papers are quite exceptional because they are 90% about me!

My heart is breaking for SD10

As many of you know, BM has put our family through hell for the five years that DH and I have been married. Last year after BM abused SD my BH gained custody. We just learned in the past week that BM has moved for the 8th time in 5 years. (One of the many reasons DH gained custody) She moved back to our hometown in NOVEMBER. She has lived here for almost 6 months now, and we had no clue. What the real kicker is is that SD10 has been lying the entire time. About everything. And when asked why, she said because Mommy doesnt want you to know where we live or what she drives. WHY?

Need some advice, how old is old enough to explain

things to a Step/Bio Child. My SD10 is kind of immature for her age. She has been diagnosed with ADHD (is doing great thanks to meds!) and probably has some sort of PTSD from being physically abused by her BM. We found out last week that BM has been showing her all of the text messages that DH has sent to BM. Some of these were not so nice like when BM would not let DH talk to his daughter on her 10th bday, or when BM refuses to pay medicals or let DH talk to his daughter on BM's weekends. DH and I sat down with SD10 last night and tried to explain to her the situation.

AARRRRGGGGHHHH!!! PO'd...

Ok, so it has been a very long time since i posted...But I feel the need BIG time today. I am so freaking pis**d that I feel like just screaming. As some of you know, my DH was awarded custody of SD10 about a year ago after her BM beat the crap out of her and was charged and convicted of child abuse. Well, this weekend was the BM's weekend and SD's 10th bday too. I was upset already because we wouldnt get to see her or do cake or anything, I love her more than words can say and have fought for this baby for 5 years now.

I am soooo freaking excited!

I can't help but tell you guys how excited i am!! My DH told me about an hour ago that he is getting on the bus to go to the airport to come home to me!!! Its been 7 LOONG months of dealing with the BM by myself, and now i will get some support for 2 weeks! I just hope and pray that the holiday and the weather dont hold him up too bad. I KNOW i wont get any sleep tonight! lol. Hope you guys have a great holiday!!

Love - E

I can't help but let the ex get to me

Ok, so if you dont know my situation the DH is deployed and i have visitation with my SD ordered by the Court, legal and everything. But EVERY time she visits she lets stuff leak. Last time it was that the Ex (her mom) was going to hit me if i ever tried to talk to her again at the custody change and that her mom was calling my child fat. Well I get her tonight and she tells me that she was in a play today at school. By order of the court, i am supposed to be notified 48 hours in advance of school functions. GGGRRRRRR. My question is, how do people like this get away with EVERYTHING???
