Please send all your prayers and good thoughts my way!!
C-man is coming home today at 6pm. Rabid Squirrel called and told my husband that she is going shopping and will be driving past here on her way home so she will just bring him home instead of us having to pick him up. C-man got on the phone with my husband and said something like "I love you daddy, I can't wait to see you." and "I can't wait to get home". How freaking weird is THAT?!!! Just over a week ago he is screaming he is living with his mother and now this. Those two are up to something and I for one, am scared. We pulled him from daycare and now one of his friends mother is going to be watching him after school. That was one of the reasons he didn't want to live with us. He hated that daycare. He was very happy to hear that. Then my husband called him the other day and told him that Santa brought a basketball goal and an air hockey table. Maybe that's why he has changed his mind, I don't know. At least that's what I'd like to think. But honestly I think that he really wants to live with her and him and his mother have some evil plan cooked up. My husband is calling the help line at work tomorrow about getting a referral for psychiatric care for the boy. Maybe it isn't too late.
Are you new here or have you been reading awhile and never left a comment? Please introduce yourself! Lurking is so lonely, we want to meet you!
He's a smart little fellow, it didn't take him long to learn how to play one parent against the other. Add in the fact that the parents can't stand each other and that his bio mom hates you and you have an instant recipe for a disaster waiting to happen. Watch your back Squirrel, watch your back.

Wow that is huge. My stepson does a similar thing. For the first 3/4 of the time he is with his biomom he will not talk to us on the phone and if he does, he is really awful. Then the last couple of days we can't get him off the phone - he is all lovey and whatnot. But you know your kid and his mom better than anyone. Hope it all works out for you. And I commend you on making a decision to fix the daycare to make him happy. It is tough.

Let's hope so, Squirrel. It's not right he can change so drastically.

Oh, I'm sorry this has gotten so damn ugly. I hope counseling or therapy will help your stepson. He is not a baby, you are right, but he sounds like he has been mangled to hell and back by his mother. I am definitely thinking of you and hoping this situation improves.
