Baby Mama Drama
June 19, 2008
It seems to be the story of my life…always some sort of baby mama drama! I’m not sorry that my husband has children outside of our marriage…they have been nothing but a benefit to my life. However…where there is a baby ( or in this case- an adolescent)- there must be a mama.
As far as Baby Mama’s go- I didn’t get the worst- not by a long shot…I have heard of women who will hide their children, run away with them, abandon them, physically assult the other parent, etc…we’ve not had to deal with any of that…so I know that overall- I have it pretty good…HOWEVER..the on-going drama with S1 is starting to wear on a nerve….and by ‘a’ nerve…I mean my last one.
We filed paperwork with the county court to take Allie with us to Florida to live during the school year. I can totally understand S1’s resistance…really, I can…..BUT…she has now just started getting outright nasty and hostile. I can admit that I have no odea how I would feel in her shoes, because I’ve never walked in them….but honestly- the personal attacks and dramatics are slightly more than I am prepared to deal with at this time.
At the end of the day I am aware that this is par for the course, and we’ll have to take a bit of ‘war of the roses’ tactics along the way…but god how I want it to be over. I’m a pretty peacful person- so thing goes right against the grain for me.
I suppose I just have to remember that doing the best thing…is rarely the same as doing the easy thing….
