Hey I used to come on here quite a lot but for the past few months things have been a bit easier. Basically I have a SD7 who thankfully I get on great with, truth is we couldn't really get on much better BUT the situation is still hard. BM loves drama (she has 5 kids with 3 diff men and another on the way with a fourth man!!), my DH only gets one day a week off work, I have my own personal issues so there are plenty of things which make a difficult situation even more complicated.

Anyway we used to see SD7 EOW and it got to a point where that became really hard...BM kept changing agreements etc and this led to arguments between me and my DH. If I'm honest it got to the point where I would dread those weekends and often there would be arguments in front of my SD which of course isn't right. Anyway eventually BM couldn't stick to the dates/times so the weekend set up wasn't working and she stopped DH seeing his daughter for 6 months. In the end it was agreed SD would come and stay at ours just during the school holidays. This had worked well...no BM drama so no arguments between me and DH etc. But of course my DH felt he wasn't seeing his daughter enough. We have now agreed to try the EOW thing again...I trying not to think negatively but I pray things don't go back to the way they were before where I dread those weekends because of all the drama it will bring. Guess I just need some encouragement and positive thinking!!!
