[QUOTE="Sumsky, post: 730583, member: 22893"] I will say in my husbands defense.... he did file for custody when his son just turned 3 (husband was still with mother until then). It took 2 years through the courts for him to get custody and then he just got primary, she still had visits. It took another 5-6 years to get her rights taken. And that was going back to courts every 8-12 months for 5-6 years. I came into SS life when he was 4 1/2. And I can honestly say I almost walked away from this situation several times because of SS bio mom. I really thought husband was exaggerating the things she did. Until she found out about me and by then I was in love and really felt I could make a difference in SS life. Hind sight is 20/20 but husband did what he could through the courts. The problem was that everyone felt sorry for what SS went through and tried to make it up to him by not disciplining him and buying him anything he wanted. When what he NEEDED was structure and discipline. And in laws looked at me as ‘stepmom’ and felt I was hard on him when in fact I was just trying to teach him. That is why SS hates me now. Cause I am still the only one that calls it like it is. [/QUOTE]
