Silence and the BM

BF emailed BM on Sunday to work out the schedule from now until the end of October. So far, no response. We know she retained an attorney after letting the mediator go without consulting BF first. They were court ordered to go to mediation before going to court to work out custody and such and they hae worked out lots of stuff on their own.

In the past 2 months we have had baby overnight numerous times including this past weekend, a four day weekend a couple weeks ago and for a week in mid-August when BM went out of state. I can't believe that a judge would take overnights away after all of that. SS is only 9 months old but he fits nicely into our household and adjusts just fine. He eats well, takes naps way longer that BM told he did and pretty much sleeps through the night every night he is here but according to BM does not at her home. BM seemed pretty surprised when she was told how well he sleeps.

I know we are in for a storm but I can't help but wonder what goes on in her mind. BM has to be in control of everything. I know BM is pisssed because we found out her new BF has a record for domestic assault. He goes to court in October for the second charge. BM continues to make bad choices and play the victum. I don't think that if this goes to court the judge will look kindly on her for refuses to continue mediation and crying poor and then buying a Jaguar. We know she is getting money from her parents' trust but we have no idea how much and may have to go as far as subpeanaing the admminstrator of the trust, BM's sister, to get some answers. We may have to go for banking records and such to see how much since trust income is considered income in figuring child support.

UGH!

My future sk's are about 8.5 months. I have not been allowed to meet them, despite the fact that they were conceived after FH began paying for my engagement ring. I remind myself that BM wants what I have, and I also remind myself that if I were her, and I'd probably feel insecure about whether my kids would like SM more. In that, I'm able to feel a teeny tiny bit of empathy for her and am able to keep my head about me when she's being ridiculous. We are having to get down and dirty in court, too. I completely understand. If you need an extra ear, I'm available.

To every thing there is a season.

BM emailed back Monday after we emailed her again on Sunday. Yes, we have baby this weekend but she is going on vacation again for a week in October so BF has to change the time he gets baby since they will be gone. I thought she was broke! Plus the week she is gone she has to pay daycare to hold baby's spot - only half the weekly rate but still 80 bucks is 80 bucks! In her email she was asking if BF is going to help her with medical bills. I told him not to respond to that. They don't have an agreement or a court order so ifhe says I will pay half and his income - which is way less than hers - shows he should only pay 30% then I don't want him to get screwed.
