We finally got a permanent parenting plan in order. That's good. We are regularly getting SD on the weekends, by court order. I wish I could say things are going smoother, but when you're dealing with the woman we are...I can't say that it is. 

Recently BM in the situation claimed to have given one of my ex's our home address. So we had to deal with that issue. 

BM also still does not won't me involved in ANYTHING involving SD, but the hubs is addressing that issue.

Things have calmed down some for the most part, which is nice. We've been able to do a lot of fun things with the kids, and that's nice. 

Update: GOOD NEWS!

After a long time fighting in court...and still fighting in court, we have finally had a turn in events. We now get EOW visitation with my stepdaughter. We do have to drive the 3 hours both ways, on Fridays AND Sundays, but we get one on one time with her, without anyone overshadowing us.  We will be getting even more time with SD, and when this happens, I'll be sure to update everyone.  It's been a long time coming, and we're very happy with how far we've come. Continue to keep us in your thoughts, as this is still not over, and BM is still not getting any better...If anything her behavior has worsened.
