[QUOTE="Shari, post: 264151, member: 1848"] I always feel like a hypocrit because I was difficult child 1's step-mom. I feel a little guilty not letting this woman in; after all, I was a step mom, too. However, I played the step-mom roll with difficult child 1. Even when he came to live with his dad and me, I refused to be the one to enroll him in school or find daycare, etc. Of course, up to that point, DEX had told me difficult child 1's mom and step dad were great parents. After difficult child 1 moved in with us and I started seeing the dealings with them, my ideas changed a bit. When she went to prison, they changed a lot. And by then, I had seen what a lack of a father DEX was, too, at that point, and I would have actually left DEX then had it not been for difficult child 1. Knowing what I know now about difficult child 1's bio parents? I should have left and taken him with me. Neither one would have bothered to fight me on it. His bio mom has 3 other children. Two conceived while incarcerated. They ahve been in and out of foster homes their entire lives. The oldest, a girl, now has a protective order against her mom and lives with other relatives. The youngest, a boy with Down's...OMG...I went to a family thing that bio mom invited difficult child 1 to (he wouldn't go without me, but kinda wanted to go to see his grandparents on that side, so I went with him - he was maybe 9). Bio mo got tired of chasing the boy with Down's, so she just took his glasses away from him. If he couldn't see, he would just sit where he was for hours on end. That's how he spent that shin-dig...sitting in the middle of the yard, unable to see, therefore, not moving. She thought it was hysterical. [/QUOTE]
