Just a trip down nightmare lane when I first started dealing with stanch Disneyland Dad and his "if I can't come first 100 percent then my spawns will come first over your serious relationships" mentally unstable breeder.
I remember this itchB traipsing back in town with her spawns, moving 5 minutes away, then pretending like she couldn't parent her kids. Nothing was wrong with her except Disneyland Dad enabled her trifling behavior "for the sake of those kids".
So after numerous promises to step up and parent his kids which he largely did, he still couldn't set boundaries with his ex so I've set my own, I'm walking away.
Background: Husband, 2 bios, 3 steps
I didn't realize how much my steps hated me until they were grown. I swear I have PTSD from having them as step kids. I physically get ill when it comes to them.
SS13 came back to our house yesterday and, as usual, was sullen. DH went down a list of missing assignments to make sure he had done them (the app doesn't always accurately show if something has been turned in). Of course, this greatly annoyed SS. Sorry, kid. But the number of times you've fallen behind in classes and lied about work, you're going to get asked.
My previous blog mentioned that my ex-fiance proposed to me (again) via text. (Yeah.) He wanted to be married, but not live together. Nope - that is not for me. Now he blocked me because of something written in my attorney's letter. Wth? I never reach out to my exF anyway. He told me he was going to block me, but I "could feel free to email." This is such bizarre behavior. Well, bipolar behavior I suppose. He seems to be worsening. I have to stop trying to rationalize the irrational.
So I had an epiphany just now. I just saw SD post something on her TikTok page about being clean or people being clean. Now I immediately thought 'ok strange she's posting about people being drug free'. This girl is 10 and a very young 10. Then the last post was about being clean again and a reference to cutting themselves.
As requested, here is the summary of the weekend with the nice man I met a week ago.
It's been a gift to meet this nice man. He has been CONSISTENTLY communicative, polite, apologetic, considerate, welcoming, gentlemanly, inclusive and kind. He's shown an example of word and action matching. Through conversation he's been transparent and forthcoming, as well as vulnerable. I cannot tell you how much knowing both this man and the other, younger guy has been nice. It's helped me see how some people are just wired to connect, and others just aren't wired for something deeper.
I have a contractor in the plant today doing some installation work. So, I am sitting here on a Saturday finding anything I can to distract me from writing procedures. Which I detest writing.
The vision that my boss and the execs aligned on when I accepted the job was that I would define, build, tool, staff, lead, and replicate the organization I was hired to deliver.
If it isn't the consequences of her own actions coming back to bite her in the ass.
Not that I am celebrating in somebody's misery, because I don't do that in general and that is not what this is about, but I certainly am glad that my SD 12 has finally had to face a real consequence of her own actions regarding her irresponsibility and inability to listen to what she has been told to do as well as be held accountable to follow through with something.
