Focused on Me and My Son 2

[Sherman333]

So this weekend will be the 1st weekend that I won't see S7 until Sunday. The STBXW will be picking him up from latchkey and won't drop him off until 8:00 p.m. Sunday night.

Yes he's going because it can't really be stopped and to do so would be to blow up the situation even worse with no recourse. She's been playing super-mom. Long term neither myself nor my attorney thinks she'll be able to maintain the interactions. But I still have fears about him going and the 1st sign of issues things will be dealt with through the legal process.

This is the part the is the hardest so far. S7 and I have been buddies for a while. I feel like I'm going to miss out so much on things with him in this and this is what she's robbed me of... both for S7 and the Foster son I had to have moved to another home.

I do have plans for this weekend. I'm meeting a friend for a pot-luck tonight. I'm taking a quinoa & Black bean dish that's really good and mildly spicy (did I mention I was the cook of the house?). Tomorrow, I have a choice of meeting the same group for bowling or there's a BBQ cookoff in a town not to far away that I might check out. Sunday, I'm off to the in-laws house to pickup stuff I stashed there and an entertainment center. The goal is to get it setup before S7 gets home.

I also need to work on continuing to clean the mess the STBXW left when she moved out. She left piles of stuff all over the place when she went through things. She also took a lot of the cleaning supplies... so I have to replace them too.

As the week has unfolded, I've found that she's taken a lot of odd things that have just caused a bit of frustration here and there because I didn't know she'd taken it... went to use/get it and it's missing. Some of the items she never used (go figure), so the only reason I can come up with is spite.
