First I want to thank everyone here on this forum. Your support and guidance has helped me get through a really difficult time iny life. You helped me to not feel alone in my struggles. 

I have spent this summer basically resetting my life and getting back to where I belong. I placed the focus back onto living my best life for myself and DS. It was the most enjoyable summer I can remember since pre-steplife.

SO and I are still together. He is also a completely different person, he has turned back into the man I fell in love with. A lot has changed for both of us. 

BM and her ex had court today. Unfortunately for BM she was unaware that vindictive SM and SOs mother were helping her exBF. Because what better way to to say FU to a woman who has made SOs life a living hell other than to make sure she is made to look like a complete a$$ in court. 

The list of lies:

ExBF beat her, the kids and the dog.

SM provided texts between SM and YSD where she admits to assaulting exBF and her general disdain for his existence. 

SKs have never acted out or disrespected any adult other than exBF.

This kind of behavior should be shocking. But having dealt with BM and SDs and their alternate plane if reality for several years now. I can't say I am even the slightest bit surprised.

After talking with YSDs worker, I was informed that two weeks ago YSD was still standing firm on her decision she didn't want to see SO.

Doing the same thing over and over again, expecting a different result. I can't tell you how many times I have heard the counselor say this to SO. The question is, will he ever get it?

I have pretty much grey rocked SO when it comes to SKs. In addition to making sure he bares the full weight of his stupid emotionally charged decisions. 

SO text OSD that he got her a cell phone and all she has to do is apologize to her grandparents for trying to have them arrested.
