Melrose Place

Does anyone else miss that show? Well, it seems like I am sitting in front of the television watching Michael Mancini and Kimberly (remember her...she's now Brie from Desperate Housewives...didn't she remove her hair in that one crazy episode of MP??) in one of their moments when I listen to the stories coming out of my stepson's mouth about his mother. It amazes me that all of it is actually true.

SS's mother (BM) started dating her younger sister's boyfriend about a year ago, while she was living in the same house with this younger sister. Younger sister dumped this boyfriend (yes, she was the one who got rid of this guy) and it couldn't have been more than a week later, we hear my stepson saying that his mother is dating this guy. Ewww.

Drama ensues and the younger sister moves out of BM's house due to this fabulous new relationship between BM and used "boyfriend". About 3 months later, BM's house gets foreclosed on.

BM then tells SS, "Oh, we are moving into "boyfriend's" house with his 2 kids, who are soon going to be your brother and sister."

On a side note, BM has another child who was raised as her brother, but who was told 2 years ago by her parents that BM was actually his mother. Now the kid lives with her and doesn't call her mom...he was better off with her parents.

More drama ensues and about a year later, "boyfriend" kicks BM to the curb with my SS and her other son. BM tells SS, "I chose to move out because "boyfriend" didn't treat us well." Yeah, ok.

Back to present day...SS tells us yesterday that "boyfriend" has been coming to their apartment and staying and eating all their food. BM actually invites him over and now they have all planned a little road trip together next month and she happily included my SS in her dysfunctional soap opera.

It's really sad that SS has be subjected to rated R shows when he is only 9 years old.
