Friday fun!
what are your solutions to this problem......

mine are having a large Gin and Tonic or alternatively a session with a boxing bag!

I wish i could detach from the nightmare
Unfortunately it still makes me rage that P's ex can breeze in after being absent for 8 years, paying nothing, contributing even less emotionally, no birthday or christmas presents, and just take the kids, turn them against everyone, stop contact when she wishes, use the kids as weapons, allow them to call P a 'cunt' and 'useless father' get them to demand the latest iphones and tablets, yet take them off the kids and sell them when she's annoyed with the kids behaviour, demand maintenance (y'know, the thing she never paid) and spend it on her latest crotchfruit with the dirtbag that is her new P.

Aaaand breathe.
I despise her, she's everything a mother shouldn't be.
And i don't drink, if i did, i wouldn't stop

WOW! that is a nightmare. Definitely not something a GNT or boxing bag can change or soften.

I hope you did not find my post insulting when your time is so tough. when the going gets tough I always try to see the lighter side.....but for you it must be nearly impossible to do!

being a stepmother is tough whatever the scenario, and the third party can cause total havoc and you have no control. This is the hardest part of the job some times. Also stepping away is possible but detaching emotionally is often impossible.

annoying question probably what I am about to say - have you and your partner sought legal advice?

No i've just thrown in the towel and said he has to sort everything with her now, not me, i smiled in her face while she was telling the sc to say hurtful things, picked them up, babysat, in the end i got sick of being the gopher for the pair of crappy parents they are (its not just her, they're both useless) and told her to contact him for everything. Bet she wishes she'd treated me better now as before, i made sure stuff got done, P is more hit and miss, so good luck with that one, ex lol

Sod not drinking, pass me one of those large G and T's

from the looks of things......throwing in the towel might be the only way!

One of my mantras in stepmother life is sometimes putting myself first. this is one case where you have to do it! Good for you!

I also have another 'NMFP' - not my 'bleepin' problem! I have to admit I generally chant this one silently to myself only in extreme circumstances. again this may well be one........

its Friday, you have an hour till the weekend unofficially starts! maybe a cheeky GNT will not hurt with your lunch!

have a good weekend!
