Hope you can follow my vent...SD14 got herself into trouble texting inappropriately with a 16 yr old boy, whom she has been dating for nearly a year. I pay for the phone plan. BM took phone away as punishment (understandable). BM is not allowing SD to visit us (FI is not SD's biofather, so no legal rights). SD is not allowed to call us or message us on FB. I understand punishment but I feel like FI is being punished too. FI is attempting to arrange for a family meeting of sorts. He would like the chance to be in her life as a father figure. And to show SD that he and her mother agree about the inappropriate nature of the relationship w the boyfriend. BM is taking her time arranging meeting. They live 1.5 hours away.
My irritation.... BM is allowing her own boyfriend to use the SD's cell phone. The one I pay for! BM and her BF text up to 200x a day! I don't want to block or turn phone off. FI and I are to be married in May and would like SD in the wedding. I feel like we have to jump through her hoops in order to ever have contact with SD. FI has been in her life for 9 years.
Thanks for listening!
Re: cell phone
I wouldn't be paying for it either. I would have your phone company temporally turn it off. I would rather pay for an unused phone then one BM's BF is using.
Can you call BM on her phone to talk to SD? Or she isn't allowed any communication
Shut the phone off.
And yes...if you don't have legal rites as a parent...you do have to jump thru hoops with the parent if you want contact with the child. That's the hand you've all been dealt that you can not change.
You can either

What Illumine said.
DH used to "not rock the boat" with BM. Things were much, much worse. When there was nothing to "go completely psycho" over, BM invented things (like she was being followed and was sure DH did it, calling the pol
