It's all DH's fault
So last Monday, SD14 came to us saying she was having suicidal thoughts again. DH and I talked to her, DH talked to her psychologist and got her meds changed, and we teased her and ensured that she no longer thought jumping off our 9' porch roof was a good idea. She was laughing and in great spirits at the end of our convo, which was also a good talk about how we will help her, etc.

This week's fresh hell
Skids came by us yesterday. SD14 sat us down and told us that she is having suicidal thoughts, again (she is on meds and goes to counseling)- this is always triggered by issues with/lack of friends at school. Which is frustrating, because SD is a cute girl, charasmatic, but she also says things that alienate people and is in this constant cycle of making a friend, alienating them, rinse, repeat.

SS might end up with us FT and I'm terrified
So earlier this week I posted about all of the Crazying Crazy was doing, and one night this week DH and SD were sleeping and SS17 just kind of unloaded to me about Crazy and how insane she is, unprompted. He usually doesn't say much about her so I was surprised, but he genuinely thinks she is insane, and her actions are ridiculous. Here are the cliffnotes:
-Crazy just broke up with her BF again, and she always goes off the deep end and takes it out on SS (she admitted this to him once). Their last breakup was days after Thanksgiving, after she had just gone to his family's.

The fallout from SS being a lying little liar
So last time skids were with us, SS17 admitted lying about going to his ex gf's house when he tells us he's going to the gym. He didn't care at all that he lied and said "I think I'll find a way to live with myself". DH told him he was very disappointed since there was no reason to lie, and now trust is broken. This all happened the night before they left for Crazy's, so we had a whole week to sit with it. I recommended consequences, DH of course balked and had only planned on "talking to" SS.

Crazy is in a healthy, adult relationship
Just kidding! But she has been dating a guy for maybe 7 or 8 months? And they have broken up approximately 8 times in the past 3 months, according to SS17. Crazy and SD14 just went with him to his family's for Thanksgiving, and they have already broken up, again. Lol. These are grown ass adults, how do they think this is normal behavior?? Aside from his questionable relationship choices, he seems to be a normal, nice person with a respectable career, so it boggles the mind that he is entertaining her crap.

Turns out SS isn’t so perfect after all
I haven't posted in a while, not because things have been great, just taking a breather I guess. But today. TODAY.
DH got his rose-colored glasses ripped right off, and learned that the golden child, SS17, is a sneaky little liar (DH is the only one surprised here).

This kid is incapable of doing anything on his own
Is anyone else's skid incapable of doing anything without asking their parent? SS17 is a smart kid. He's attending college classes at the University as a Sr in High School, while also attending high school. He has plans for college and a career and I believe he will do it. But he lacks common sense and can't even do the most mundane things without asking DH about it. DH and him are CONSTANTLY texting- if DH gets a text, I have to stop myself from sighing because I know who it is. And DH drops everything to respond immediately.

Skid week scaries
I reallllly dislike the dynamic in our home when skids are with us for a multitude of reasons, which mainly include: how SD14 manages to ruin any fun activity by pouting or complaining and never having fun, how she tells DH each week that Crazy does everything for her and he does nothing for her, her inability to maintain friends or find any activities to do outside of the house thereby making DH her only form of entertainment, and the way DH has SS17 on a pedestal so SS can do no wrong...I could go on but these are the current highlights. Just this week DH told me SS17 was his favorite 3 t
