I can't remember the first time she did it.
I thought nothing of it- it wasn't a big deal.
My son is very likeable and is a very caring considerate child. I was proud that she thought well of him too.
I'm ashamed of my lack of involvement in my step sons life. I have to say that he does not speak and may be partially deaf and partially blind. Over the years - christmas, birthday gifts that we have bought for him have been returned to us.
I just stopped participating in that. My husband gives money now - which seems to make her happy.
During my husbands visitation -I am working I have not seen him in a few years. I have not seen my husbands ex since I was pregnant with ours. We have never exchanged words. Except when she called for him - which ended after numerous fights with him.
She held up the divorce - he was married when I gave birth. It was a very depressing time for me.
So I'm skeptical of her motives. She gives him candy and cheap toys.
I have anxiety and have been insecure for a while.
I used to drink and smoke - now I have to take medication- it hasn't made everything all better, just more managable. I am in therapy and my husband and my sister have been very supportive.
My son and husband are my life. I'm not sure of myself and I think people take advantage of me.
