Why am I even here?

Dearest Steppers, last night I came home from an insanely long day at work to find that BMhad let herself into our apartment again. This is done in the name of SD. She will not let me pick the kid up or let her stay with me alone. She didn't let my FDH's mom drop the kid off by herself. She never misses an opportunity to come into our home and undermine me in front of her daughter. DH and I talked about this in therapy...our therapist said not only should BM not have keys at all, she should be dropping her off outside the home.

Now that we're engaged...

Longtime lurker (like, years) and I've finally been moved to post tonight. BM brought SD 3.5 to our house over an hour late, sat on the floor in the doorway (self-pitying body language), did not say hello, barely acknowledged me as she chattered to my FI about nonsense. After she left, my SD wouldn't engage me in playtime, lied to her dad that she hugged and kissed me hello (she ignored me), didn't really want to engage me in storytime (all of my involvement happened at FI's prompting/invitation) and finally told her dad "I love Daddy and Mommy." He said "and you love Teakettle too, right?
