Hi All Well it has been awhile since I posted last. First off. How is everyone? Ok second.. I finally got my support hearing and the ex did not like it too much. <of course why would he> Anyway he kept saying too me how could you do this? I told him he knew it was coming and he just kept asking me how could I do this. Well call me calice but he pointed it out to me that our hearing is on our wedding anniversary!!!! WHOOPS. January 3rd, stupid me... It really did not dawn on me that it fell on that date. Anyway like I told him I don't get to pick the date they do..So I used the famous line. Build a bridge and get over it.. He has been seeing our son for the most part without me having to remind him that he has a son. So that is a good thing... I met someone.... I cant really say too much thou here about it... Just thought I would throw that one in there.... Someone once told me that 3rd time is the charm.. I think I'll wait till he does it to believe in that... LOL But anyway I have a been getting out with different people which is nice... Starting to get stuff back on track again.. Which is even nicer.... O back to the person I met.. So many of my friends keep warning me about him and that they don't want to see me get hurt... On one hand I know they are trying to help and they care about me and deep down I probably think it too, But on the other hand I an anjoying myself and going with the flow instead of trying to analize things like I used too... I have been hurt before and I am sure it is not gonna be the last time either.... I am trying too make myself better but I want to stay the way I am. I am starting to like me again.. I know that sounded corny but oh well IM CORNY lol...<p>My son is doing much better since I learned to pick my battles with the ex we dont argue too much anymore... I let it pretty much go in one ear and out the other.. He really doesn't cry at nighttime for his dad becuase I think I got him on track to where he knows that he will see his dad and mom will always make sure of that... Regardless if I cant stand the man or not.. Which is more so not. <Boy that was mean of me whoops><p>My only regret is that I dont get to see my stepson as much as I would like to... I reaised him for 5 years and I think that is the hardest thing for me... My son gets to see his brother when he is with his father, but I dont. That hurts alot sometimes especially with the holidays coming up.... Well as long as they are happy I geuss I will just have to deal with it..<p>Anyway I just wanted to update all of you. Theere is so much more but I feel I have written a book already....<p>Wishing us all well' Janet [img]images/icons/cool.gif" border="0[/img]

Hi JJ,<p>Good to see you back here, and sounding generally psoitive about things. A new guy, huh? Might be a good thing!<p>I am sorry to hear that you don't see your step-son. After raising him for five years, do you have no rights to see him, and him you, because there IS an emotional bond there. If you haven't investigated this, it might be worth a look. I know here in Oz, grandparents can request to see the kids after a divorce, so maybe you can, too.<p>Good news about your son, too.<p>Love and light,<p>Jacky
