Update on the drama today.
Lots happened today and tonite. I'll be brief.
I texted SD that we can not help her, that she needs to contact the Domestic Abuse Hotline and seek professional help. She texted me back calling me heartless. She then unleashed her craziness on me today in an email - too psychotic and crazy to go into - just typical SD. She essentially called me every name in the book and then turned on DH and did the same. The "I am so sorry, I know I screwed up" SD was gone in a heartbeat and I went from being right, to the worst person in the world.
My response was to simply say, "Do not contact me or try to get into contact with me or DD in any way shape or form or I will file a restraining order."
I told DH, and he is done as well. He supports me 100%.
For those that keep asking....ahem...sprky.... our counseling session is Monday. Sunday we also meet with our pastor. I am kicking it into high gear and if DH bails on me and does not make an effort - I will be filing. I will officially be done. I am keeping my appointment with my lawyer, regardless of how well things go. I will soon have everything 100% buttoned up.
Both kids are now out of the picture. DH will continue to have a relationship with SS. But I and DD will not be involved. If I I am ever asked to deal with any of this BS ever again from either stepchild, or he ever puts them over DD again, I am gone.
DH has told me in so many words that he is choosing to let go, even if it means severing ties with his kids if they can not appreciate that or respect his life, me, and that we need to put DD first.

Re: Update on the drama today.
glad you put your foot down. SD is just being a brat. she burned her bridges with you too many times to count, don't let it bug you.
hopefully with all this skid drama overwith you guys can focus on you guys. any chance the three of you can go on a little vaca somewhere? just to work on your family?
DH and I actually thought about getting our honeymoon suite (we got married close to here in a B&B) and having a weekend away together.
My SD is not a brat. She's BATSHITCRAZY. It's okay. You can say it. She really is.
SD already threatened me personally and DH's business. I just got another email from her saying, "By the way, I'm in town you dumb b*tch". She tells me the hotel and that she's here for a friend's wedding and that I should be careful what I say because "my livelihood is only a few miles away." She says she's posted all kinds of things on her facebook (don't care) and all over our business facebook page. (She hasn't.)
I'm a little confused by the "careful what you say". To who? You think I'm going to share your craziness with people? You do that just fine on your own.
Ooookay. Thanks for the warning! I'll share with my lawyer in the morning. You just made her work much easier by putting it in writing. Anything else you want to share with me?
Seriously. WTF.
I know LittleJen. I know. It's a process, and I am confident it will be a happy ending regardless.
Get the restraining order, she threatened you. I know your DH will likely have an issue with it but she is threatening you and instead of talking to her and her batshitcraziness I would get it, you already told her you will and this is time to put your money where your mouth is.
All of this!
Also since SD is BSC and claims she is in town I would provide a picture of SD to your childcare provider just to be on the safe side. I know if she got near your DD that would put you over the edge.
