"Taking things slow" must mean something new these days...

Quick recap: ET and her STBXH#3 split up in mid-October. She introduced the boys to her new BF at Thanksgiving. She told DH at drop-off (because she overshares) that she's "taking things slow".

So slow, in fact, that last weekend, YSS stayed at the new BF's house with ET. Did I mention new BF has two little kids himself? YSS was a bit annoyed but used to this by now, so he rolled with it. However, ET capped off the weekend at drop off by saying "I don't know what I did to piss you off, but I love you and bye" to YSS, which threw YSS for a loop because he wasn't even upset with her and didn't know why she was all of a sudden upset with him. But, if he was upset, I wonder if maybe it was because she can't be bothered to be a real mom to her real kids but is stepping into the Replacement Mom role with her new BF's kids.

Now, before anyone says "how do you know she is stepping into that role?", I confess that I don't know. However, OSS had a performance last night nearly 2 hours away from ET-ville. Guess who showed up at the performance (which didn't end until 9PM)? You guessed it - ET, her BF, and his two young kiddos. AND THIS WAS THE TIME SHE USED TO INTRODUCE OSS TO THE KIDS!

YSS was a bit frosty with her - probably because she ran up to give OSS a hug and barely acknowledged YSS. And I am sure that YSS has to be slightly hurt that ET is falling right back into the same pattern as before (because I can almost guarantee you that she'll be moved in with new BF before the New Year) and hasn't understood that she has a child she still needs to take care of.

DH is disappointed. I'm just pissed. I wish she'd get her life together for herself so her kids could actually be proud of her.

But on a positive note: YSS found a sport he likes and is excited about participating in, and we're going to a trade school open house tomorrow to see if there are any fields he would be interested in pursuing. His grades are rocky at the moment, but that's partly the end of semester burnout that he suffers greatly from. Looks like family homework nights are back on the menu....

I'm laughing about ET taking it slow.  What a joke.  Yes, she will be moved in within 2 months, then the whole cycle begins again.  I wonder if she will have (another) big, white wedding.

ET sounds so emotionally stunted. Her body will age but her mind will never grow up.

I just keep thinking of the kids ... ALL the kids, subjected to and hurt by the unhealthy behaviors of their so-called parents. SMH

Oh I'm sure ET is putting on a good show for her BF...gotta lure him into thinking she's a great mother, and see how motherly she can be with his kids...see how wonderful she is...doesn't he want her to become a part of their lives?  It's all a show with no real talent behind it.  I'm sure the annoyance oozes from YSS pores when he's around her and because she's such a master of manipulation she can tell when somebody has had enough of her sh@t and is tired of her.

With cluster Bs, their false persona narrative is so laden with psychobabble talk, and completely different than reality.  Almost like they only thing they learned in therapy was the verbiage to be more manipulative.

I often wonder if it is deliberate or if they are just that delusional.  Simply saying something makes it true!

Satan's emails are always so faux professional sounding "We sat down and talked about our summer plans..."

I mean...b!tch please....you don't sit down and discuss anything with anyone....you're a rabid screaming crazy psycho....

She pretends she's a wholesome struggling MOTY.  But she literally prostituted herself while she was married, she's constantly high, the energizer bunny of grifting, lost custody due to neglect but lists herself on linkedin as a SAHM. 

Wacko

In the honeymoon phase of DH's and my dating relationship, Satan tried to use psychobabble to goad him into breaking up with me.  We did a lot together back then, and she was all "WHAT ARE YOU TWO ATTACHED AT THE HIP???  YOU'RE SO CODEPENDENT."

She had Killjoy-then5 saying, "It's weird how much time you two spend together."

Meanwhile she was using Mealticket for his income.  I mean, yes, people who really like each other really do like to spend time together.  But then, she wouldn't understand a relationship based on mutual affection.
