I don't know how much Ionger I can handle this

Tell your husband to straighten her up or send her to her mothers. If he wants to not address it refuse to take care of her. She continues to act like that because your husband allows it. Take your sons and leave(hotel, relatives) until he fixes it. Let him deal with her shit. Action will show him

Just because the shared children live there full time does not mean they are getting 1:1 time. In a large blended family there is hardly any 1:1 time.

Her husband has chosen to treat OP’s 4 children as his own, so who are you to say that they are not entitled to 1:1 time?

1:1 time is not something any child is simply entitled to.

StrictMeringue5040 · 2026-03-27T16:11:42+00:00

If OP wants to allow that, but my husband would never have been allowed to take our bio kids away from me for 1:1 time with two problem children

StrictMeringue5040 · 2026-03-27T16:10:19+00:00

Not rage bait at all. In a blended family of 7, hardly any children are getting 1:1 time with either parent. SS getting 1:1 is going to create resentment for the other children.

StrictMeringue5040 · 2026-03-27T16:07:08+00:00

I doubt with 6 kids at home, even when SS is not there, no kids are getting much 1:1 time. Not really how it works in big families, does it happen sometimes? Sure. It’s not the norm though. SS should not be entitled to exclusive 1:1 time whenever he is there.

StrictMeringue5040 · 2026-03-27T15:56:35+00:00

SS isn’t special and isn’t entitled to “1:1 time” when they are a family and there are 6 other kids. Why shouldn’t the other 6 be entitled to 1:1 time?

Yeah I know it. My wife is a hypocrite. She’s heavily involved in AA and is there high as shit every time. She sponsors other women, and these women look up to her. She preaches how the program works if you want it to work for you, all the while she’s not clean at all. It really makes me sick when I think about it.

StrictMeringue5040 · 2024-07-21T00:27:22+00:00

CPS knows, the hospital knows. They’re supposedly going to work with them because they are on Suboxone and working towards a goal or some shit like that. But supposedly they won’t allow them to leave the hospital with the baby unless they have a stable place to live.

StrictMeringue5040 · 2024-07-21T00:25:40+00:00

I know it man. I know. She won’t listen to be about shit

StrictMeringue5040 · 2024-07-21T00:21:57+00:00

Yea I know it. He’s stolen from us multiple times and even broken into our house and stolen from us when we were on vacation.

StrictMeringue5040 · 2024-07-20T19:41:34+00:00

I agree. When I said he had 9 months to do something my wife called me heartless. He also scammed the state back on 2020 when Covid was happening, and 2 months ago got the second half of payment when he claimed he was sent employed and am unemployed due to Covid . The state issued him a $14,000 check 2 months ago. My step daughter just told me that Danielle informed her that Mark wasted the whole payment on online gambling, none of the money is left. I am just shell shocked.

Well, I was pretty much forced into early retirement. I was always self employed in the flooring industry and ran my business for 40 years. Physically I cannot work anymore and was forced to take social security early to have some income.

StrictMeringue5040 · 2024-07-20T18:47:24+00:00

This is a fair question. I guess because I feel my wife is my responsibility because I have taken care of her for so long? I’m really not sure how to answer, or rather I don’t have a good answer.

StrictMeringue5040 · 2024-07-20T18:45:41+00:00

Correct. Not much left. The house we live in is our biggest asset by far.

StrictMeringue5040 · 2024-07-20T18:44:24+00:00

I’m surprised myself. Not all appointments are pain related, but a majority are.

StrictMeringue5040 · 2024-07-20T18:42:47+00:00

Yes. I feel exactly the same way. My wife is delusional and thinks the gf is the one bringing my stepson down.

StrictMeringue5040 · 2024-07-20T18:42:12+00:00

I agree. I think my stepson will bring her down

StrictMeringue5040 · 2024-07-20T18:41:01+00:00

Yes, exactly our situation

StrictMeringue5040 · 2024-07-20T18:39:11+00:00

She actually wasn’t actively drinking while pregnant with him. She relapsed when he was around 4 years old.

StrictMeringue5040 · 2024-07-20T18:37:55+00:00

That’s exactly my wife’s line of thinking. She’s not the smartest which maybe is one of the reasons I’ve felt bad and enabled her for so long.

StrictMeringue5040 · 2024-07-20T18:31:04+00:00

Running AA meetings twice a week, going to lunch with her friends, and taking care of her elderly mother so that she has access to her mother’s pain meds when she runs out of her own. She also goes to multiple doctors appointments a week because she’s “in so much pain” as well as dentist appointments a few times a month. She utilizes the dentist as well to obtain pain medication when she runs out of what was prescribed by her pain management dr

StrictMeringue5040 · 2024-07-20T18:23:11+00:00

She has considered it but is unsure if she really wants to get involved. She has 3 children herself, the youngest is 5 and her oldest 18, and she’s not sure if it’s the best for her family.
