  6. That's what you took from that entire post? :blink: Ok...then she's the woman he impregnated.

     

    Either way, she's not your problem to deal with. She's his. Make him step up to the plate and handle his business rather than doing it for him. You're the only one that can control your involvement in the situation.

    no i could get the words right about what you said you are completely right about it all.

     

    *This* is not your problem. This is your in-laws problem. They need to deal with her on this issue.

     

    And stop trying to make everyone happy. It won't EVER happen.

     

    BTW, are you new to being a stepmom? If so, take a few pointers from those of us with experience. It's not easy to get along with ex wives, ex girlfriends, ex whatever but it can be done. You can't control how others react to you, what they say about you or what they do but you can control YOU--your reactions, what you say and what you do. Do what is best for the kid and for you and you'll be fine.

     

    Just remember, there have been millions of us before you. And we, the stepmoms of P.com, are more than willing to give advice based on how we handled similar situations.

    i will take you up on that...yeah you are right it is there problem

     

     

    Thanks everyone for you help i really appreciate it

  7. I'm admin of a community comprised of second wives and stepmothers.....this type of behavior is very common, and the best way to nip it in the bud is to detach from the situation.

     

    She's not your ex-wife and it's not your child. He needs to handle any and all communication with her, he needs to handle pick-up and drop-off of the child.

     

    I've been where you are and it caused me nothing but grief. Being a stepmother is particularly difficult because we lack control over things that greatly affect our own lives. The only think you can control is your involvement in the drama, so remove yourself from it. You'll be glad you did.

     

    The saddest part about situations like this is that the parents don't recognize the damage this type of behavior does to the children. It's a shame more people can't put the best interests of the kids ahead of their own resentment.

     

    shes not his ex-wife either...

  8. JuneJohnson is right. I've been through this. I think the best advise I ever got was someone telling me "It's really not your problem and don't make it yours" When forced to they will communicate with each other. It's easy to get caught up in this. I know, I've done it. Oh and by the way years later we found out the ex was mentally disturbed. I realized after a while that my husband was doing something he should not have been doing, HE WAS BEING NICE TO HER, that sounds funny but it is true. When she would call and say that the sink was clogged, for example, he would go over there and plunge it. In his mind he was doing this because he did not want his kid to have to deal with it. It's the old if mama's happy then everybodys happy thought. Well I have no problem with him being nice to people but this behavior would make her think he was still interested in her. It would get to the point of, if he showed up on time for his time with his son then she thought he was interested in her. I repeat, she was mentally disturbed, although we did not know this at the time. She thought by me being married to him I was breaking up her family. They had been divorced for 6 years before we married.

    yeah he tried the nice thing but she called and started lieing so now he isnt nice to her thats why she wont talk to him because if she lies the he puts her in her place....yeah there for a while she thought just because he was nice they were getting together :unsure: :wacko: ...yeah she thinks the same way event hough he tells her he dosnt like her and tells her to F off and go to H***.she thought i broke up ther family even though there never was one.
