I Can't Believe This!

Dawn-Moderator's picture

I went to stepson's soccer game today. My husband is stepson's coach so I usually sit pretty close to the bench. Anyway, when biomom arrived with her ex-boyfriend and their two and a half year old daughter, they had to push her stroller right in front of me. Of course they never said anything to me nor I to them. You won't believe what happened next!!

Hypothetical fight...Am I crazy?

My husband of one year has brought alot of baggage to the table that I accepted openly...He has four children with three different women. He holds what he calls a "friendship" with the mother of his oldest son. I have supported a positive relationship between the two because I think it very important for his son. BUT...

Need advice on telling SD about unknown Bio Father

Dee's picture

This is sort of complicated, so bear with me. My BF's ex-wife was unfaithful during their marriage and became pregnant with another man's child. My BF did not discover this was not his biological child until two years after the child was born. Because of this and other issues a divorce shortly followed. My BF has continued to accept the daughter as his own. Recently the bio father has tracked down my BF's ex-wife and has expressed interest in meeting/contacting the daughter (who is now 6). From what we know, the bio father could ask/demand parental rights, if he chooses to.

Coounselling update....

Well...we had our joint counselling session yesterday. We discovered how some of our previous relationship "baggage" affects how we argue...and how things escalate..from there

We feed off each others reactions ...

1) if he thinks I'm being distant...
......then he backs off

2) he backs off.....then I feel distant

His x tortured him with constant cold shoulder/silent treatment/being distant/ HE can't stand it....He feels totally unloved/abandoned/alone..etc.. he has a hard time dealing with it (I didn't understand the depth of his feelings on this)

Why Am I Always The Bad Guy??

Am 45, English guy, living with my French partner in Spain. SD is Spanish, from Spanish BIODAD. He is a loser but SD worships him..her does zip for her. SD is 17 and ALWAYS angry, and always shouting and saying how she hates the home, her mom, me.. and has been so bold as to state she has an aim to split us up! BIOMOM hates to confront, but I think she (SD) needs some discipline.

YEt when I ask why SD is angry with me, I am accused of lack of understanding and tolerance. How can I understand, I didn't have the past 17 years to prepare me for today!!

She never ceases to amaze me!

This morning BM came to drop SD (4) off for the afternoon. I could hear SD crying and BM screaming at her before they even got to my door. I opened the door and BM SCREAMS "Get to your F***ing room now". SD was hysterical and went to her room. I asked BM what happened she said that her boyfriend and her had gotten into a fight on the way over here and when she got out of the car he left. He was supposed to be taking BM to the dentist. She said SD was "being a little brat and freaking out".

Losing Battle with SD

I feel like I cannot win with my SD. This child is 10 years old and every time I say something to her she back talks to me. If she does not get her way, she will throw a fit and cry, scream and throw things and make everyone’s life terrible. We have been going through this for three years now, and full time for me since my husband took his new job and I have to pull all the weight with raising my SD.

I Really Need a Vacation from Biomom's Problems

Dawn-Moderator's picture

We found out last night that biomom has LOST her CS check for Sept. Now we may have to stop payment on it! My husband called her last night and she asked him if it was cashed! Hello, she didn't know if she cashed it or not!!! What kind of crap is that? Did she think that her ex-boyfriend cashed it?

We have to send her a check for Oct. next week! I guess the CS isn't very important to her. I would be at the bank cashing that check right after I got it. That gives you some kind of idea of what her house is like!
