Hello all,
Don't really know why I'm posting, as there's a long back story that I've not posted about, save for a couple of years ago. (Should mention I've name-changed as other people know previous nickname.)
DSS (9) came to live with us before Christmas. SS involvement with his DM and her DH. However, DSS was told he was coming to live with us as his behaviour wasn't good enough. He's had to move schools as we live out of the area, so a massive change. His two other brothers (technically half-brothers) are still at home with his DM and her DH. My DP is only dad to DSS.
It was clear from the start of the DM's relationship that her DH (then DP) did not like DSS. This was one of the reasons for SS involvement (who are no longer involved now DSS lives with us).
DSS sees his DM every weekend since coming to live with us. This was facilitated by my DP, doing a 50 mile round trip to drop off and then collect. DSS's DM does not pay any maintenance, nor does she give DP fuel money either for all the dropping off and running around he does to help DSS maintain a relationship with his DM and his family. DP has raised this with her and she simply refuses to give any money.
Anyway, that's by the by. DP has had a text today saying that DSS's DM doesn't want DSS every weekend due to the fact that her DH is fed up of DSS and his poor behaviour. It seems that DSS can do nothing right in the house, at all.
Like I said, I'm not sure why I'm posting, as can't really put everything in I want, but am so sad. Am currently sat with a crying child on my lap because his mummy doesn't want to see him, listening to everything she's said to him over the weekend. He is heartbroken.
So bloody sad.
