The drama never ends

Around the time when DH and BM divorced, BM stole her dad's (BMDad) identity. BMDad disowned her for it. It was the last straw of a lifetime of stealing, manipulating and lying that she had done against her own father (BMDad). He never pressed charges and now regrets that, but at the time was a guilty divorced dad himself. BMDad stayed close with DH and later, with me. Partly to stay in touch with SS17 and partly because he felt DH was screwed over by his daughter, BM. BMDad is at the point where he feels SS17 is a lost cause just like BM. Too many similar behaviors.

I'm sick -- and my patience for SS17 is on thin ice

A couple of months ago I started feeling sick all the time. I went to doctors and they've found some confusing scary stuff. It all boils down to a genetic disorder that is causing some congenital heart problems and other issues. It's incurable, but progresses slowly. It has even caused 2 brain lesions that looked like cancer but they are pretty sure are not cancer. Fingers crossed.

My DH is having a hard time, as am I. But in our own ways, each of us.

Drama

Everywhere my stepchild goes, there is drama. In our home when he is not around, things are peaceful. I have kids and they don't bring this kind of drama. They have had their challenges but they know I expect them to be rational.

You can try to convey information to him and it becomes something else by the time he tells his mother about it. My husband only communicates with his child in writing anymore. He's PASed out and we have to protect ourselves because his kid lies and manipulates, stirs up trouble.

DH just a paycheck

I’ve been SM to SS17 for 5 years. DH and I have no bios together, but I have two grown kiddos. SS17 is entitled and spoiled. He has always thought of DH as a paycheck. DH & BM separated when SS17 was 2. When SS17 was young (4-6), he would tell DH’s relatives that Mommy says “Daddy has lots of money, ask Daddy for toys, clothes, games and gifts for Mommy(BM).”
