I'm going to blame it on all the hormones that I injected into myself last night, but I had the strangest dream! I dreamt that my husband's ex wife (who is crazy btw) had a son in addition to their 2 daughters, and although it wasn't DH's son, he had some kind of responsibility for him. The kid was a mess, an addict, he had totaled someone's car, was going to court for something and needed our help.
He was sending letters out to some Christian organization to volunteer for them (his mother's idea) and I had to look at the letters and he had them all formatted wrong and had no idea how to write. It was really weird. Oh and his name was Michael.
And in another part of the dream, DH and I had a baby, and his ex gave us a present for the baby and I told her, "thanks but no thanks, this child will be free from all of your toxicity". I'm not sure if that was actually in my dream or if I was fantasizing about what I would say to her if she did something like that for real, because I would accept nothing from this woman ever, ever in my life.
The gift thing may have come up because last week she sent a birthday gift for my FIL, and instead of having a card that came from DH's daughter to her Grandfather, it was a Father-in-Law card from her (that DH's daughter signed as well), that he read out loud in front of everyone and it was so awkward for everyone, because there is no love lost between DH's family and this woman. She just needed to inject herself in to feel relevant, and succeeded in looking like an ass. I know this is probably better for the Blended Families board, but I don't know anyone over there and thought it would be ok here.
I hope you don't mind me going off topic for a post here!

I find it so funny that your focus was on the formatting of the letter. That is something that I would do.
DH and I have been having the same dreams. One morning I woke up and told him that I wanted fried chicken for dinner because I was eating it in my dream. He was also dreaming of fried chicken that night. I started to worry that I could smell my neighbors frying in the night. Our latest was that he is dreaming of his grandmother and I am dreaming of his grandfather (he died before DH was born). Dream are so weird.
That's a weird one - the non-existent Michael dream. You were nice to be so supportive of this imaginary step-son!
Does your DH have any contact with his ex? Or do they just keep it about the kids? That must be tough to deal with for all of you.
I have the weirdest dreams on IF drugs. And very vivid. I usually don't remember my dreams, but on Clomid, I remember very specific details.
I had a dream last night that was SO long and SO boring. It had to do with a medical procedure (not an IF one) that I probably need to have, and it just went on and on and on as if it were taking place in real time. And in the end, they told me they couldn't do the procedure I needed.
I wonder if maybe I have been to just too many doctors recently, eh?
That might have something to do with it! I swear the time we all spend waiting in various doctor's offices must add up to at least 6 months
