We received a bill from a dr that my step children see. The thing is the bill had the kids under bm's new last name. I sent back saying that we did not know ss "bm new last name" or sd "bm new last name". We have gone to court and the judge said the children are to be known as "dh last name" and bm must change all on dr. and school records. It wasn't a big bill but bm has continued to alienate the children from their father by changing their last name (this is the 3rd time), telling them that dh is "legal first name" and sf is "daddy".
Some times I wish my dh would be as "hurt" as I am. I know that this is none of my business, but as a ncsm, cbm, and whatever else you could call me I couldn't imagine doing this to my family. So as a mother in a your's, mine and our's family, it is difficult to remind our children that we are a family first no matter step, real, or half. I at times feel the prejudices bending our family no matter what.
I believe that I am here to make sure that our children grow up to be the best that they can be, and by knowing that they are loved no matter how much we as adults may be stressed by the "others" in our lives.
I digress, would you do the same re: the bill?
