If you have followed me you all know what I am going through regarding SD17. For the first time this summer she contacted me.... via text

SD: Can I stay the night with you? I want to see my friends before I leave on the 12th.
ME: You will need to speak to your dad
SD: It's your house so I'm asking you
ME: It is OUR house. Nothing is just mine. And this is a conversation you will need to have with your dad.

Then nothing.

SO had to pick her up yesterday for an appointment so he said he would just talk to her then. The way I feel is she never apologized for all the drama we went through on MIL 70th birthday. So why would we LET her stay with us? Not to mention she has been standing firm on her I refuse to respect SM (me) to the point of she hasn't spent much time at all with SO this entire summer due to that attitude. So WHY would we let her USE us to stay over so she can spend time with friends? That's a HELL NO if you ask me. And SO was ready to tell her that. But when he picked her up she said nevermind I've changed my mind. WOOHOO! A drama bullet dodged by him not having to tell her no. The drama trickles down from her then to her grandma (BM's mom) to then BM. So it's three times the yelling over things.
I am very proud of my SO for making some strides regarding this very touchy subject but I am also very tired. I have done much leg work for him over the past few months for BM #2 and us going to court over visitation. And I have been doing much work for him regarding BM #1 and finances. I feel sometimes that if I had not done anything then nothing would have gotten done. And I still feel that way regarding a few things that are still in the hands of his attorney. We are still in the middle of making these witches abide by the parenting plans. I guess I am just spent on the constant drama that surrounds my days. Every single day it is something. I think of how peaceful things are when me and my son are home and nobody is there. How if not for all this BS with these people I wouldn't have a single stresser in the world besides how to make extra money so my son and I don't have to worry about every day needs like food.
Part of me sits here and wonders when SO will love me enough to be done with all these games. When will this end? Because I truly can't keep going like this. My emotional state has taken a dive. And just the fact that all affection has pretty much ceased since the skids got here hasn't helped me at all. I am considering going back on my meds for depression. Just to get through all of this and not have a breakdown. Last thursday I just cried. And I still don't think I reached him. He can say all the pretty words he wants but it's actions that show me that he is serious. And right now regarding the BM #1 and BM #2 I feel that well I'm about 4th down the line. And I'm the one doing all the damn work....... His attorney calls me. The doctors call me. The don't call him. his procrastination is wearing me down.

Wow, sounds like you definitely have your hands full. You're handling it way better than I ever could. I think I would've just handed everything over to him by this point and said "handle your shit because I'm done doing it for you"

Kudos to you for holding it all together. Hang in there!

Big hug to you. Done it all, court, CSA, mediation between BM and H. Three years later on the verge of leaving( still plucking up courage) . I loved him enough to help him. He didn't love me enough to appreciate that or even recognise it. His loss. My ex loved me like this,shame I didn't reciprocate. My ex and I are friends for life. Because unlike my soon no longer husband I adore, I can recognise a caring action. Stop doing his donkey work if he loves you he will step up, if he shows disrespect to you.....? Oh how I wish I could follow my own advice!! Good luck
