How do I deal with this?
I’m not going to be able to give every detail of this story, because it’s just too much. For almost a year, we have had full custody of my SO’s now 8 year old son. I’m really protective of him and have a great relationship with him, I’ve tried very hard to establish this bond with him. I do a lot for/with him and definitely am more of a mom than what his bio mom is. His mom is addicted to pills and just irresponsible. She has seen him twice in the last (almost) year. She only asks about him when it’s convenient for her and she wants to have him unsupervised, which is just not happening.
Was he in uniform? If he was there in uniform and acting like a deputy then he’s abusing his power. They have no rights to that child. She signed them away. Therefore they have no reason to be trespassing on your property let alone banging on your windows and doors. I’d file a formal complaint against him & pursue legal routes to keep the mom away from your home. I’d also make sure your stepson’s school has the most up to date custody order.
Wether her dad is a sheriff or not I would still cal and ask for higher up because obviously he’s letting this type of behavior happen unless he was off duty. It’s still not right he should know better. I’m sorry you have to go through this on the holidays hope your day gets better
Bio moms dad is a sheriff and he was there with them. So now they know the next time they want something and we don’t comply, they can act like that and get what they want. I’m just tired of this. I’m his mom and I take care of him, yet I’m constantly stressing about this “family” of his because they’re idiots!
She signed over paternal rights and never sees him. She sometimes asks to have him unsupervised, but hasn’t shown any signs of improving. It also affects him, to an extent, when he sees her. I can’t handle the situation much anymore.
ETA- there is no holiday schedule or anything
You’re not wrong to feel the way you do. They sound unhealthy, unstable, and selfish. Is there a custody order in place? I’d get one ASAP to prevent this crap from happening in every holiday or special occasion.
ETA: Just saw that you have full custody. Is there a visitation schedule or holiday schedule? I’m not familiar with how all that works if someone has full custody. I’d call the police next time they show up to your house acting crazy af.
Thanks everyone ? I don’t want to continue dealing with this. It’s not right or fair. Idk if he was in uniform, I didn’t go outside. All I know is they all got mad and ganged up together. It’s put me in a really bad mood all day.
SO should have called the police but he’s too nice and spent an hour outside with them ?
