Does Anyone Remember Me?
Wow! It's been just over a year since I last posted on StepTalk - and what a year it's been. I have learned so much about step parenting and where I went right and where I went wrong. Mostly right of course.
Would love to catch up even though - technically - I'm not a step parent anymore.

Ahoy! From Sailor Girl.
My last instalment was around May, 3 months ago.
Life is good! Still not divorced, seems to be taking an age as STBXDH finds it completely foreign to be honest and frank about his assets. I moved back into the marital home because.... well.... to piss him off. No not really, I did it because all my stuff is in the area we live, gym, doctor, dentist, psychologist and...........NEW LOVE !"Blush"!

Words to describe bad behaviour and people
I get so upset when I think about what DH has done and what he is that I find it impossible to get words out that don't consist of the "F" word. So, I've made a list (using a thersaurus) of words to use instead of swear words. It's amazing how much more effective good language skills has when telling someone off.
My favourite word that describes DH for today: Debauched
debauched" in British English
debauchedadjective uk /dɪˈbɔːtʃt/ us /dɪˈbɑːtʃt/
› made weaker or destroyed by bad sexual behaviour, drinking too much alcohol, taking drugs, etc.:

No longer a step parent
After being on this board since SD was 7 or 8 (now 15), pouring my heart out and trying to figure out this whole stepparenting thing, I am no longer a stepparent.
I haven't been on here for a very long time and thought I would let those who remember me know that DH and I are busy with our divorce. I have moved out and am staying with my mom until financials are sorted.
ETA: Our final pleadings were filed yesterday and we are waiting for a trial date.

Okay - you can say it.... "I told you so"
DH is now happily living with BM2 and SD2. Yep, they are co-habitating as "husband and wife" and playing happy families.
We got back together and it lasted a little over 6 weeks. I unfortunately found out that whilst we were discussing a reconciliation and attending marriage counselling whilst living apart, he was still knobbing BM2. In fact he was knobbing her right up until the day before he moved back. I forgave him.
Three weeks later he got shit faced drunk and spent the night with her. I forgave him.

Update From Sailor
The past 5 months have been the toughest of my life without a doubt! However, after a two week stint in a Psychiatric Hospital from July 10 - 24 and intensive therapy of all different kinds since then, I emerge a new butterfly, shitting glitter, riding colourful rainbows on my unicorn. Yep, the meds are working.

Regarding Narcissism
For those who are wanting info and support in dealing with Narcissism, please go to http://letmereach.com/ or Google "Let me Reach with Kim Saeed". It is one of the most informative sites I have come accross on this subject. Also google "Overt vs Covert Narcissism".
Even though your partner may not display all the charateristics of a plain narcissist, there are different characteristics that overt N's display that covert N's don't and vice versa. I know someone who flips between the two depending on the situation.

What a journey.......
Well, I've decided to log in again, contrary to my atty's advice. As long as I am talking about myself, I see no harm in posting.
It's been three months since the devastating breakup with my husband. Three very hard months. I have been living on my own for the past two months and have had a difficult time adjusting. I eventually had a complete breakdown and landed up in hospital for two weeks. I finally returned home on Friday 24th July.
