Blocked. I said my peace and listened to Acra.
BM2 is officially blocked.
She got her panties in a bunch about my response this morning and the audacity I had to not respond to her accusatory nonsense while I was WORKING.
What is it with these people thinking they are the center of everyone's universe.
I told her I had held my tongue and stayed out of the weirdness between her and SO. But I had had enough. And I let her have a piece of my mind.
I told her I cannot and will not fix it.
All of a sudden she starts backpeddling like she's in one of those little paddle boats that's about to fall off Niagra falls.
She tells me how much she hates SO and how to her he's nothing but a liar and an asshole and she only "lets him see SD6 because it's what's best for her.".
I told her that was her problem right there. She doesn't "let him see SD6" she makes him jump through hoops to see her (which SO does), cancels visits, changes them last minute and makes it quite clear he's second fiddle to any play dates or other plans that may arise even if he's scheduled to see her at her mother's house first. (There is also no reason for him to have supervised visitation with SD6. No order. BM flipped last year when her mom let him drive SD6 to the bounce house place at the mall because she doesn't "trust him with her in the car"?????).
I told her he is her father and he loves SD6 too. He has a right to see her and that frame of mind will bring her nothing but trouble, not only now, but down the road with SD6. I also told her that resentment she harbors toward him is completely baseless and she needs to get over it.
Then I reminded her that they will have the rest of their lives to deal with each other at birthday parties, school functions, graduations, weddings and grandchildren.
I then told her I cannot fix their relationship. Just like her mother cannot 'stand in' for her with SD. It means something to a child when their parent is there when they get home from school, in the evening making dinner and tucking them in. Semi-cohabitating doesn't count. I also told her I know it's happening because SD6 tells SO about it. So she's noticing.
I then told her that they need to work this out. I let her know I was blocking her from all accounts and any response can be directed where it should be-to SO.
I also feel like if you're going to be a b*tch you'd better make sure your hands are clean.

Good for you for standing up
Good for you for standing up for yourself. I bet it felt good to get that off your chest to the person you wanted to say it to. Hopefully this means BM wil back off and handle her business with who she needs to handle it with.
Duplicate. Sorry about that

so so proud of you...... now
so so proud of you......
now DH should start working on CO for visitation and CS.... get it totally legal and stick to it, BM will have nothing to complain about the cow...
I absolutely think its better
I absolutely think its better for the actual bio parents to communicate with each other. As my DH's EX got more bitter and difficult, I really limited my communication with her. She wasn't MY ex and there was no reason that I had to hear anything really that she had to say.
Our last "real" conversation was her trying to give me a hard time for helping her younger daughter not fail a grade due to unexcused absences. I told her she was a bad mother in the course of the convo and lo and behold, she never contacted ME again.
Honestly, unless things are super chill with all the adults, the new partner doesn't need to have all that close of a relationship with the EX. I think it's fine for BM's to meet the new person in their EX's life, but that's about it.
