Removing son's significant other from our home
this Sunday.
All hell is going to break out as it has before, we fear.
Have done this before, but no turning back this time. Talked to my husband Mon night, we spoke as united front to my son last night, he had been thinking about this for 6 months. We are united but much pain is about to occur.
She is vengeful and vindictive. We did this once before and son took her back when 3rd child was a baby as she was sleeping with her in car. Not this time.
Oldest two not hers, probably going away for a month this coming Sat which is why we wait. Leave them out of the turmoil. It will still happen if they don't leave. I will take all four out so they don't hear things they shouldn't.
The shared two are almost 2 and 3. We don't know if she will leave them or not. She has tried to get me to kick her out and leave them a few months ago. Custody battles loom ahead.
I will need to be day care person and fear if I can do this with my illness. But need to be strong. I am afraid but know this has to be done. It would cost $200/wk for child care and son can't afford this.
She has poisoned our house, life in general. She is my biggest trigger.
Sorry this is so long.
I don't wake up until 1pm or so and will need to be up at 7:30 am. Can't sleep at night. I just oh so need prayers and support.
Thanks for listening. I a bipolar friend who is going to help me all she can through this. I fear for the worst. It was hell last time and the kids so need this to happen as we all do.

Today is my 25th birthday, to my somewhat lack of surprise I can see already no one really seems to care. I've always been the kinda person to make sure that everyone I Care about feels appreciated and knew somebody had their back. I can count 4 times this year when I Went out of my way to make sure a "friend" felt good on their birthday, especially if they got left hanging. Its early in the...

Much LUV!
Pray that it doesn't get worse in the long run. Part of us hopes she doesn't take the kids for the reason, the other so wants her to as they of course love mommie.
That is why I feel so torn and ? my values for so long. But the decision is finally made and no turning back. We have done that and its final. The rest is up to her and on her. I will try my best to "behave" and hold in my anger and illness and be there at my best level of functioning for the children.
Keep reminding myself, though, there's a reason I stopped at 2 so many years ago, as in I knew I was mentally incapable of more, and now in my late 50's?
Then, I chant like the little engine...
I think I can...I think I can... I think I can.....and I will. No choice as children are the most important thing to me on earth and why I have never gone through with any suicide attempts.
Sorry...I just have to get this all out to be stronger.
Love and prayers are sent you're way.
