proud, annoyed and a little creeped out.

This weekend didn't exactly go as planned. I woke up with such a migraine this morning i joked with BF that it was because my mind was in over drive. Smile

I guess it started Tuesday really. SS3 had a school thing and BM called to tell BF how it went. She said that she got a certificate but she was going to keep it since it had pictured of her on it and she didn't want it cut up (yeah I had that one coming) but the school had always been very understanding of our situation and usually made 2 of everything. She also told us that SS3 last day of School was Friday.

So BF had me email the teacher, one to find out if the certificate was legit and if it was if we could get a copy. And Two SS3, 4th birthday is on (this) Tuesday and we had planned to send treats in with him to school, which I already had ready. So we asked if we could drop them off on Friday. The teacher responded and said that we could and she would look into getting us a 'certificate' - which turns out really was a montage from the year that had been made on a day that BM had been in class (she is a volunteer). Which would explain why it had pictures of her on it. And The teacher also said that is was fine if I brought treats in on Friday.

So Friday morning, early so I wouldn't run into BM, I went in and left the goody bags with the front office and then went to work. I waited all day for a txt. I knew BM was gonna be mad, and I had asked BF if he wanted to txt her and see if she was bringing something but of course he never wants to txt her, and he said it would be fine worst case SS3 get twice the love on his b-day.

SS3 gets picked up from school at 11. At 1 I got a txt that BF and BM had gotten into it. He said he would tell me later. At 4:30 I got another txt. They had gotten into it again and again he would tell me later (when I got home from work).

So when I got home BF started by telling me why BM called him the first time. He said that BM was mad because she said that the school had called her about the
bouncy balls' I had put in the goody bags - they are a choking hazard, but the package said for ages 3 and up - And she said they had to call all the parents. She bacially made this big deal about it before getting to the real issue. She wanted to know why he didn't call her and tell her we were going to do that, it was HER week and he should respect her as their mother. When he explained that we had planned to do it our week she could have cared less. So he apologized for OUR mistake and thought that was that.

I think her real issues is - that she forgot about it and I didn't. And I don't think the school called her since the teacher knew that I had sent the goody bags, and in the notebook which I just read today = the Teacher thanked me and said how much the kids enjoyed them.

So BM calls BF back. This time she wants to talk about why they don't get along any more, implying that it has to do with me. But BF told her, That he used to just agree with her because he didn't want to talk to her. BM added that she was documenting all of this, included the few times that I forgot SS6's lunch. BF said goo because he has stuff on her too. When she stuttered and asked what he had on her he just said that was for him to know. I don't know what all was really, said - it's just hear say but I believe BF that it wasn't pretty. She basically blames me for all their problems, and she basically wants me gone. Which BF started to discuses "US" with her but ended it with......

"I don't like and and I don't want to talk to you unless it's about the boys. Are you done talking about the boys?"
"Yes"
"Good then this conversation is over."

To that I say ABOUT TIME! For whatever reason she thought for so long that she had some control over who he dated and and I am glad he finally told her that she does not and she doesn't have anything 'on us' because she can't prove that he is a danger to those kids. I really think she thought that he still loved her and that is why she was so mad at him the other week when he didn't take her side - he really didn't take any side.

On Sunday she dropped the boys off, a little late of course. She didn't say anything. But she left a note that said "I Officially want nothing from you." And notebook with some notes on the kids, which I guess BF is supposed to use going forward to communicate the 'little things' and the kicker....

A stack of photos of BF (and HIS family) from before they were married. One of which was of him in nothing but a towel, which was worn funny as if it hadn't been kept with the other images, even had a rip in one corner. All of which was tied with a bow and her wedding ring (which looks fake to me) but not the engagement ring, which BF said was real.

It freaks me out that she not only had pictured of him, but she moved out on him, which means she took them with her and at one point she gave some back saying she took them by mistake. But these she had to have kept in purpose because she knew right where they were, why else return them now - after a big fight.

I feel bad because I start3ed this whole war - though I think it had been in the works for awhile - all because I did something nice for her kids on his birthday.

Exactly BF/DH should be responsible for keeping pictures for the kids, when it comes to his family and stuff. It was just weird that she had pictures of his family and younger photos of BF. I think he was a little freaked out by it, I personally would have said something to her or asked her why. but I am sure the answer wouldn't have made any sense.

I admit to my mistakes - no one is perfect - but I am trying! Like you said I want to be fair and I feel bad for the kids becuase I don't think BM knows what she is doing half the time either (who really does?). So when she picks on me for a little mistake I just want to choke her. lol I told BF that she was just mad becuase I don't worship the ground she walks on and I don't let her bully me, so now she is just trying to get rid of me. And she thinks BF cares what she thinks (when it comes to our relationship)but he doesn't.

Wait, you think you started this because you were nice enough to bring goody-bags to his class? Please don't take responsibility for another person's bad behavior.

I know I didn't really start it, but it feels that way at times. I really think she was just looking for a reason to go off this time. She flips out once every few months. It's always about me, but I do think the real issue is that she really thinks she has a say in the way he lives his life. BF didn't 'approve' her boyfriend. BF doesn't care as long as he is nice to the boys which he is, but as far as we know he isn't really involved with the kids. Which is where i think the difference is. I am involved and she doesn't like it.

It's weird becuase SHE left HIM but I think she always thought in the back of her mind that he was still in love with her and that she could always come back. But since I showed up her little fantasy world is falling a apart. Not that it had ever been real, but in her mind it had been.

Also she wanted to set BF up with one of her friends after the divorce but he wanted to wait the recommend 1 year before dating, that is when he meet me. And I tried to be friendly with her but after she flipped out a few times, I recently told her that we would never be friends. So now I think she is just trying to get rid of me so that she can replace me with some one that she can control/bully.

I hate it though becuase i do make honest mistakes (no one is perfect) and she makes a big deal out of it when I do, but she makes mistakes too and no one ever says anything.

Wow she is definitely jealous. Why wouldn't she just pawn the wedding ring instead of giving it back to him?
