Little Idiot (SD24.5) was fired from her bartending job. I don't know how. From everything I heard, the manager there was permanently checked out and didn't gaf what went on... yet somehow she managed to lose that job. I don't know what went down but my guess was her laziness and unreliability finally got to him.
On social media, LI has been running around with this woman (her new bff). I can't even say girl anymore. They are both adult women and this newest friend looks to be just as trashy as all her other friends have been. She's also 30.
Things have been ok so far. BM is still a pain but we don't hear from her hardly as much. Sadly I feel things are calm because SD is now never around . She plays volleyball in a club and now at school where she is a freshman so her schedule is literally full. We were hoping that she would start coming more when she got a break from the club but there she joined volleyball at her school so it's been non stop. She missed both her sisters b day in June and July , SD only came the weekend of her 15th birthday which was in August .
I have an update. My husband was granted full custody of his two daughters ages 15 and 12 in May 2024 he was granted temporary custody starting September 2023 his daughters have not had any contact with their mother since September 2023 and for those of you who haven't read my previous blogs the bio mom is a narcissist with drug and alcohol addiction and is in complete denial that her behavior is causing harm to her children. She has spent the better part of 10 years alienating her children from me, (their stepmother) and their father.
Its been a hot minute since I've been on.
5/28 I posted about my mom being on hospice and my sister's cancer dx timeline being shortened. Thank you all for your replies at the time. I'm sorry I did not get back to everyone, my sister passed on 6/11 at 46 years old.
Mom is still doing pretty well on hospice, so we feel lucky in that sense.
Hi everyone! Its been awhile since I posted an update. I do pop in from time to time but steplife remains (relatively) peaceful for me so thankfully not too much to post about!
Bratty McBratFace, now 27 years old, started med school a month ago in the Chicagoland area. She was so happy to be accepted and seems to be very motivated to succeed in her career.
I googled "Co-Regulation" and see nothing but positive articles, lots of Parent/Child relationship stuff and some Partner/Spouse stuff. But nothing about what I vibe is going on with a friend of mine and her partner. The partner tells my friend they need to "Co-Regulate" each other but to me it looks like "Partner" is looking to manipulate and control my friend via these f*cking needy-as-hell "Co-Regulation" demands.
Over the past month, I have felt my anxiety level slightly increasing. I've done so well in the past with detaching from skid s***, but I feel this creeping fog rolling in.
It's time to upgrade our phones... we get free upgrades through TMobile every year assuming the trade in is in good working order. Problem is Little Idiot told us her phone was cracked.... which might make it ineligible for trade in. Last time this happened we ended up paying a couple hundred extra on our first bill because she cracked her last phone. They still accepted it though but this time it is worse. The phone before that was also cracked but it was a small crack on the edge they didn't catch so... no extra charge that time.
So last night was horrible for SO. I did cave in and go to the pre dinner. SO pleased to not make him go alone. I am glad i went. SDs step dad was dressed up so we knew he would also be walking. SD never told SO that her stepdad was still going to do this. Even though my SO had asked if it was just him and BM several times. Each girl had pictures of growing up and SO was not in one of them. Her step dad and step brothers were in several. My SO almost broke down he was so upset. I didn't go to the game but watched it live stream.
So stepgrandson had his first birthday party which we were invited to. Unfortunately they scheduled his party for early afternoon and time scheduled to end was 4pm, which would have meant DD9 wouldn’t be able to attend as she gets out of school at 3. I communicated this to SS24 who said “oh” but he didn’t change the time which was fine.
