Driving to hang out with friends
Just wondering how far you would drive a child (remember this child appreciates nothing SO does for him) to hang out with "friends". SS has ruined his relationship with his school friends and says all other kids in his grade are "weird". He was invited to one of the kids houses that play on his travel team. They live around 40 mins away on back roads. SO hates to drive in the dark. This will be over 2 1/2 hours driving to hang out. I am not saying a word . Maybe it will be a one and done but if this becomes an all summer thing it will drive me crazy.

Should this bother me?
As most of you know it has been rough for me dealing with BMs non stop communication with SO. It has drastically improved on how or if he responds. Then this happened. There is a ton of gossip from a dad about a coach on a team SS played on 5 or so years ago. I had heard about the issues in the past and then the dad posted on social media. Very long story. SO asked told me about it and then I said would read it. He is working out of town right now. We then discussed it and he he said don't worry I won't call BM about it. I said why would I have ever of thought that.

Miserable to be around
I don't know what to do for myself. SS is becoming unbearable to be around. As most of you know he is in travel baseball season which is requiring driving long hours and spending days out of town. He got to pitch one game and actually hit two times but they lost the game and he did not play again all weekend. I go so that I am with my SO . If I didn't go to the games I wouldn't be around my SO much during this time of year..

Golf
Can anyone tell me what is involved with golf in high school ? I don't even know what season it is played in. How many, do you call it , games ? How about practices? What all are parents responsible for buying? Do you go and watch them play?

Attending Graduations
One of my nephews is graduating HS and of course I am going. SO then talked about SD and another one of my nephews graduating next year. I mentioned that I hope they are not on the same day. He said he of course has to go to SD and I said of course I have to go to my nephews. He said I can't even talk about you not going to SD and had tears in his eyes. I can't see a concern a year out. We were just having a conversation. Unfortunately I will choose my nephews over his children. I don't have a bond with his kids. My nephews are my family . What are your thoughts ?

Why can’t they understand
I haven't posted rencently as things have been improving. But now travel ball has started and it will be another hurdle.For a quick recap SS ,almost 16, is entitled and disrespectful, but this is caused by bios and grandparents. Last year after the travel ball season SS was told he could stay on the team if him and the bios agreed that he would only pitch. He can't bat after 12 years of playing ball. His travel team has some really good players. He is the worst on the team. Also SS has lost his core group of friends because they don't want to be around him any longer.

What is wrong with ME
What is wrong with me. Why am I not out of this relationship. And why am I not worth SO putting an end to what he does?SO will not put up the boundaries with BM and kids like he was told by the therapist. He won't stop. He continues to let BM text him every day. Yesterday it was about something SS said to a coach( it wasn't mean this time)Okay if you can't control BM you can control your own fingers and not text her back. But he did . Now baseball season had started and it will give her very easy reasons to Text because of pick ups and asking if SO is going to the games.

Venting about manipulation
I am just venting because I need to. And yes I know I need to just leave but anyway. SD gets to go across country for doing excellent on a school project. It was unexpected and is running approximately $1200 and is coming up fast. SO gave $200 for it and was going to pay for the other $400 in a week or so. Now there is nothing that says he has to do this but it is his daughter so he was, this is fine. But then SO get a text forwarded to him from BM saying that SS final payment for travel baseball is due.

More of my complaining
Most of you know SS is having friend issues. I wanted to know if about 100 texts in two days between bios seem normal, all it is is them bitching back and forth, all about SS ,but there is no resolve? Is this a normal parent problem and I shouldn't care about the texting?

Update
Just wanted to put this down somewhere. SO went to his therapy session. He said it went well and he was not angry with me when he was through. This means one of two things. 1) she let him talk and didn't say much or 2) he was able to do his wonderful manipulation tactics. I have to go with 2. SS had his first travel team baseball practice for the season , now remember he will only be pitching because he does so terrible at batting. I guess he also pitched bad and now has to do more private pitching lessons. I am not grasping this at all.
