[QUOTE="Mattsmom277, post: 342741, member: 4264"] Hi Witz. It is incredibly sad for her sake. so many things wrong in this entire situation. she isn't placed somewhere. Her mom would just drop her here if she was unable to cope anymore. L (beautiful step d's intial) was back in her town with her grandmother and grandfather, right next door to her house, along with her little brother) If we take his ex's addictions and place them aside (I don't respect her lack of efforts to try to beat them, but cant' judge really, so many people struggle), it is a real shame she can't just get over whatever it is that keeps her so jaded. She kind of reaches out. She admits exhaustion and needing support and help to parent a very difficult child. Especially with teen hormones, L is very violent now, and is quite large due to medication related weight gain. She has little ability to communicate and is so easily frustrated. Poor kid. i can imagine though that there is a very reasonable reason that S/O's ex wants and asks for help. But then she turns around and instead of hanging on the help openly offered to her, she simply takes the support as a chance to have a free babysitter to go party. Then when the parties over, she is home day in and day out without any support, and that has to be hard. I wish she'd realize that it is her daughters best interest to have regular consistent visits with her father. But it is also in her own best interests. There is alot to be said for consistent and regular breaks from being full time mom. to destress, relax, have some fun, have a social life, hobbies, catch up on sleep, pamper oneself and take care of her own emotional well being. She could have that, but rejects it even when she asks for it. I wish I could understand why on earth she'd do that. She's obviously struggling more and more to hold it all together. I guess I wish she'd realize she has allies here that are firmly in her daughters camp, and it would greatly improve both her and her daughters lives to accept those allies :( [/QUOTE]
