Blended Families

Felles and J&A.

Felles - (or any other bumpie who knows)  if I block someone, can they see my posts?  I have never blocked anyone but there's a first time for everything I guess. 

J&A - in case you did not not get thru my lastest post tonite about divorcing DH, here is the very last paragraph that is addressed specifically to you: 

Do me a favor. BLOCK ME. Please. If you can't take the time to understand the bigger picture here, and not put blinders on over one or two sentences I've said, then please do not comment on my posts. Just go find the little button that says "block Bumpie" or "Block Member" or whatever it is that prevents you from seeing my posts. Please.

  • I'm not sure if you blocked me if you have, I hope someone relays this message to you. Now that I'm a Mom I will put my son first and at any cost. I think you feel the same. My posts to you have been snarky or not sugar coated and I get that our styles didn't match up but from one parent to another I hope you find the strength to do what's right for your daughter. It all comes down to her and at this point this is what should matter.  I'm on my phone sosorry for the typos. If you want me to offer snark free and realistic advice I will do what I can to help you. You have your own child and especially since your H's kids are grown up you don't owe anything to anyone but your DD. I'm willing to help you if you need me. I'm seriously concerned for you and your DD.

  • You just made me cry a little. Just a little. Mom to mom. Thank you.

    No, I did not block you.  Even with the snarkiness I could see what you were trying to tell me. You didn't always have the picture right, but at the same time it's impossible when there are so many other factors that can't possibly all be relayed here.

    It is so easy to say "just leave" - and in all likelyhood I will - it's a process. I still love the man. I just don't know that we can be married with all his baggage. I tried. I'm an idiot for not seeing it before I married him. I own that. I own my own mistakes with his kids, but the bottom line is - he needs to take control of his life and change how he helps them.  Opening our door and handing them a life and crossing our fingers they magically change is not working.

    You know this. Preaching to the choir.

    Thank you for the support and advice Karma. I'm listening.

  • Honey, you know where I stand.  You also know that I support almost anything you do.  And if you NEED ME, once I get back to the US, I will be there for you. 

    PS - J&A is so far out there (not to mention hypocritical, becase we ALL know that she would never ever let her SKs BM have anything to do with those boys) that you should not let her commentary get to you.

  • As far as I know, blocking is a one-way street. But in case you did not see her post, J&A says that she has blocked you and will try to ensure it stays that way.

  • I see it. I'm not a blocker unless it's extremes. I typically ignore and stay away from posts and comments that drive me nuts. However, I was about to for the very first time if I could get it to prevent her commenting.  I about went over the edge when she flip flopped.
