so frustrated! collecting my dsc this coming fri and due to pregnancy have said last round trip I am willing to do. given plenty of warning for it to be sorted. so my dp and his exw have been texting and he has basically said that he will be collecting them by train or no contact. eventually after much dramatics she has agreed (a miracle) so all sorted or so we thought.

We've had dsd on the phone stating she won't come to visit if she has to go by train! dp explained why and said only way. she is refusing dp been firm with her and said it's happening. However the exw and now dp sister have gotten involved again. his sister is constantly texting phoning me saying I am unreasonable and selfish and damaging their relationship etc. said to her she is welcome to do the trip but she said not her responsibility! so now his family are ignoring me and I have been cast as a bitch. dp is getting constant hassle from dsd, ,exw and his family.

he is sticking to tjr train and has backed me up but just wanted a rant as furious beyond belief with hid sister. I expected his ex to kick off but she surprised me. sigh!

If it goes to Court, might their Mother be ordered to do some of the travelling?!!

Remember .... in many people's eyes a man's "first children" will always eclipse any subsequent children. And second wife is looked upon as second class.

petal, I've seen that mentioned here before and could never understand it, not that I do now, but it does seem to ring true with dps sis.

to be honest all I care about is my dp, my baby and his kids. They're fine about the baby and we don't have to many problems with them, with the exception of dsd joining the no train bandwagon but think that after she realises it's happening she'll stop that. dp and kids have a good relationship and as long as that continues then his family can all just bugger off!
