My 17 SD decided several months ago to totally Dad and me out of her life because she didn’t like that we had rules and that the world just revolve around her. We had her 50% of the time. She started dating a senior boy and didn’t like that we had appropriate rules in place. Dad would try to keep in contact with her via text, phone, etc and she wouldn’t respond. BioMom of course loved all these because she had a bad relationship with her Dad and doesn’t want her daughter to have loving parents on both sides.

Okay this is going to sound like I am jealous of my skid, but I am honestly not. We have a great relationship and I feel blessed to be a part of life. My issue is that I feel like DH either ignores or pays so much more attention to skid that I feel like an outsider. Case in point, we go out to eat for skid's birthday and bring my mom along. My mom adores skid and they also have a great relationship. Pretty much during the entire dinner, DH is just addressing the conversation to skid.

I feel very conflicted on Mother's Day. I have no bio kids and we have SD 50% of the time. I am blessed with a good relationship with her. I did get a card from DH and later in the day (after we picked her up from BM) I got a card from from SD.

Today is just one of those days that you question if you really are in the right place in your life. SD is 14 and we have had on/off issues with PAS with BM ever since I have met DH. They were long since divorced and BM was on husband #2 when I came in the picture. In 2011 we had MAJOR issues with PAS to the point that SD wanted nothing to do with SD. The 3 of them went to counseling and SD was lying about some much. It absolutely crushed DH. He was a mess because his greatest fear was losing SD and that came to fruition.
