OT - BM's newest FB update (Ewww!)
So, I signed into FB on SS16's account, & what did I see??? BM's update last night says, "OMG!!! Got the "ladies" pierced last week & now they're all crusty!!! Does that mean infection???"
Yes, EVERY remark she makes is followed by !!! or ??? or !!??. Life in her head is clearly VERY exciting.
My first thought...poor skids. NO WAY would I EVER want to know anything like that about my mother.

OT: Just something I just learned & found amusing
So, for going on 9 years now, BM has been telling everyone how I'm such a witch. Well, my dad has spent a lot of time going through our family history, & it turns out, I get it honest. I'm related to a Mary Bliss Parsons, who was accused of being a witch in the Salem witch trials back in the 1600's. She was, however, aquitted. I hope one day I am too. Heeheehee!

It's strange not having everybody back...
I love being back here, but it seems like it's only halfway back. There are so many people who were participating in conversations daily before the site went down who aren't back yet. I guess maybe they don't realize it's back up yet, but I mean, how dare they not check it obsessively like I was??? Heeheehee!

Should I have handled it differently?
What a relief to have this community back! I had my first real "conversation" with BM last week on Facebook. It was wild! It lasted for about 45 minutes, & I was completely drained by the end of it. I was missing Steptalk something fierce, & wishing I could just sign on & ask for answers. I did manage to muddle my way through it, however, I can't claim it graceful. 
I was completely unprepared for the sh!t slinging. I'm not sure why.

Thank you!
Thank you for the insight most of you have offered and for the ideas you have put out there that have been so helpful to me for coping with some very difficult issues.
Most of you are so willing to honestly share your experiences to give support to other step-parents who truly need it, and it really does mean so much.
It's time for me to take a break.

Something funny I was reminded of on my way back from lunch...
When I first met DH, SS8 at the time loathed me. He would call me names of DH's ex's to irritate me and he would constantly act like he couldn't remember my name...like I wasn't worth him making the effort to acknowledge.
I don't know if this is an appropriate site for my question. (Long winded!)
I'm not sure I really fit here with this question. I am a stepmom, but not a biomom. I have found answers that maybe haven't helped me fix things in my situation, but have really helped me understand more about it. BM has custody of skids and we never see them. My question is about grieving (I don't know if that's the word for it) the absence of my skids. When I met DH he had full custody of both of them. BM wasn't in the picture at all.
