Recently I posted that bm refused to return ss to us, pulled him out of our school district, enrolled him in hers stating "I know I shouldn't let ss make adult based decisions...but he wants to live with me!" One month later, she breaks up with bf, pulls ss out of school, re-enrolls him in our school again, dumps him off at sil's house for 5 days with no clothes, and didn't attend school for a week, and now bm is back with bf.

When I spoke with sil, I told her.."I'm so frustrated with bm, dh and I can provide a stable, structured home for ss, he can walk to school from our house, and she won't let him live with us..." and sil is part of the network that puts ss on a pedalstool that he can do no wrong and says.."well ss doesn't want to live with you.." and I reply "It aint about what ss wants, it's about what is in his best interests, and it isn't in his best interest to live with bm.." sil had no response.

Well, two weeks later, ss was still at sil's house. Imagine this...sil had trouble setting boundaries with her nephew...apparently, he was backtalking her....she always defended ss when we disciplined him for anything, and always made comments about how he never acted this way at bm's house, and how we were too hard on him. She even would tell ss how dad was wrong to discipline him!

Then...ss, who is only nice to people when he knows they will somehow benefit him, wanted to trade in ps2 games. He wanted a memory card, and after he traded his games, he still did not have enough money for the memory card. During his stay with sil, ss was playing on her ps2, storing his games on her memory card. Then ss decided to go stay the night at another relatives house on bm's side. Sil discovered after he left, her memory card is now missing.

Karma has now slapped sil in the face...and I have a party going on inside. For years, sil has always painted an ugly picture of me to ss, and to bm..and now she has been betrayed by her precious nephew. She confronted ss on the missing memory card, and of course he denies taking it. Then bm for two days does not return any calls from sil. Then when she finally speaks with bm...bm understands why sil knows ss took the memory card, and bm says.."Oh that is bs...I'm calling him right now!" Bm calls sil back after talking with ss and says.."sil..I don't think he took it..he says he didn't take it, and he is really upset you think he took it in the first place.."

So let me get this straight...he was after a specific item, sil has only one child herself, and as soon as ss leaves her place, the specific item he was after is now missing? And bm says he didn't take..yet she is going to pay for it's replacement...hmmmm..

Sil is so upset for being betrayed by both ss and bm...that she is disgusted. I know I sound incredibly rude for having a party going on inside, but how could I not? Now she is starting to get it!!! Her precious nephew does have character issues...and bm is a little of her rocker..hmmmm...her brother might not be such a bad dad after all....and possibly I might not, just might not be an evil stepmother.....

I love it when karma comes around!!!
