Finally! My youngest step son A is home! It was only suppose to be a 4 week ordeal and ended up being over 6! Crazy! AS you can imagine we weren’t thrilled about the deceit and the extra time stolen from us! But none of that matters because A is finally home! We will get to the lawyer with a more strict summer custody arrangement later for now we are just enjoying the fact that he is home!
Poor little guy is covered in bug bits from mosquito’s apparently he was fishing almost daily with no type of bug protection and he is bitten so bad he has tiny scabs and bite marks covering his whole body! His dad is currently slathering him up in anti-itch and antibiotic creams right now to hopefully help him out! I feel bad for him, I’m also a bit peeved that in 6 weeks not once did anyone bother to get him so bug repellent considering how badly he was getting attacked! Oh well, his BM has never been very good at being the parent she’s pretty good at being a friend figure but not so good at being a parent figure! At least he is home now where he will be well cared for and we won’t have to worry about whether his basic needs are being met…
I know it’s horrible to say but I am so happy that we won’t have to worry bout to much interaction until next summer. I’m glad he got to see her I know he missed her a lot but I’m also glad that he doesn’t have to deal with as many broken promises now that she moved out of state… When she lived in town she was suppose to have him every other weekend but most weekends she cancelled and would break her promise to see him the next weekend… then she would try to flip the situation to make him feel bad for her instead of mad at her including telling him that it’s Reds fault that she is poor unlike us… those were her exact words… we aren’t rich we work our asses off for everything we have and in the 12 years I have known her she has never worked for more than 3 months at a job with long breaks of unemployment between jobs I’m talking years at a time with no work… so it’s not that she’s poor but that she makes poor decisions and this is not our fault… but I’m not about to get into that with a 12 year old we try to teach him that good choices and bad choices have a large impact on quality of life and we try to teach him the value of a dollar… I digress that is a whole different topic I wasn’t really planning on getting into!
No matter what I’m just glad that he is finally home where I know he will be well cared for and have a ton of positive influence on his life while he is in our home and hopefully that will override the bad influence from his BM…
