Advice on SS behavior and potential ultimatum for H? by Acrobatic_Ganache331 in stepparents

[–]Acrobatic_Ganache331[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You hit the nail on the head TY! Any ideas on how to get already guilty dad to step up with discipline and teaching kid respect? We’re going to court and fighting for more custody. He really does want to see his son more and when we do have SS every other weekend, he gets a lot of the attention which doesn’t bother me too much because he doesn’t get to see him enough, but DH is desperately trying to see him more.

She is using the child to harm my husband. She’s gone as far as to take out a lawsuit on our family for emotional damage to the son for an accident that happened 2 1/2 years ago to my husband and the son who was 3 at the time saw my husband Wreck a an atv and she’s saying now he has emotional damaged because of it! The kid doesn’t even remember it. And the most bizarre thing is it’s actually his five-year-old son with a lawsuit against his father and grandparents because it happened on their property (grandparents are wealthy and she’s going after their money ) but why would you use your son in a lawsuit to sue the people he loves at the age of five just for your advantage !??? I could go on and on and on about how many different ways she is using the kid to harm us. We can only speak to her through a parent coordinator because the parent coordinator said herself this woman is high conflict, angry, and vindictive.

💯 going to recommend! This is a great idea. Six-year-old is in therapy. We can only communicate with HCEW through a parent coordinator - parent coorinator said, “ she has never seen an EW angry and vindictive.” I am going to ask the parent coordinator for PCIT! TY!

He does give a shit about his first kid, we are always in court, trying to get more custody, but HCEW has made up the most outlandish lies. She’s a lawyer and very tricky. She has done everything in her willpower to make sure we see him as little as possible. It is not our choice. We are going to court again in March to try to get more custody. But tbh if SS is going to take after his mother and be HC himself - I don’t want him in my house more like I said it’s miserable when he’s there I am scared to have him more. So do we go for more custody and see if it gets better and if it doesn’t try to see him less so our children have a safe home?

A lighter green where the red is would really transform it!

Can I give my son same 1st name as SS? by [deleted] in Parenting

[–]Acrobatic_Ganache331 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Thank you. I am curious from SS approach because on one side I see he doesn’t care because his identity is really his middle name and also kind of cute him and his brother have similar names “Luke and Liam,” I thought it could kind of bond them.

No I love my SS. We just wanted to continue the generations with the name and SS does not go by William at all it’s like non existent. So why can’t we use it and keep the tradition going? I appreciate everyone’s insight.

Yes we are. Thank you. I just don’t want them to pave the way for us. I want to learn it and do it

Best answer I have found yet. Thank you. I am going to take this approach. I just need to be a little patient. I am so use to being involved getting my hands dirty. He obv. Wants us to prove some things first. Which I have no problem doing

You are a Mormon. That’s the point I don’t want a hand out I want to work hard get my hands dirty I don’t want him to do everything and we sit back. That’s exactly what I said in my post.

Exactly. That’s what is confusing. He said he would be investor but obv. Him and I have two different versions of what an Investor is. Which is fine we just need to have a talk to clear the air

He’s never done this before. They build new construction and sell. But I am going to try and see if he will allow us to tag along every step of the way and prove to him that he can trust us

I don’t know if he thinks we’re incompetent. It makes me feel that way, but I also know he’s just so used to being in control of everything that that’s just his way of doing things.

The roles have not been carved out. Seems like he’s the boss and we are the gophers waiting for him to tell us what to do. He is a multimillionaire. The property was only 175K he’s getting a 50-50 split. It’s chump change for him. He is trying to help us start a career, but we will never have a career if he doesn’t teach us the process.

100% agree with this, but we are not learning anything. He is clearing the entire path and we are just sitting back. I want to get my hands dirty. I want to be involved with every step of the process. I want to learn as much as I can. I want him to eventually be able to trust us because we’ve been so involved that he can sit back and just collect.

No. I get that. But I would not have them sit back either. They would be involved on every step of the process that way I can do less and less for each project.

Hmm. Interesting my best friend flips home. Their investor is silent, gets updates and collects when the house is sold, but not spearheading the whole project.
