Going About My Daily Routine

thinkthrice's picture

I ran into a HCBM!!  She seems like a very nice lady but in talking to her she revealed:

1. she's going through a bitter divorce

2. the court found that she was enmeshed with her two daughters

3. her daughters "don't want anything to do with dad."

4. her stb ex is claiming that she is alienating the daughters from him

5. she wants to continue to a be a SAHM and home school her kids

 

I mean all the RED FLAGS were going off.  I politely advised her that it isn't in the daughter's best interests to trash talk dad in front of them or to try and manufacture karma.   Well needless to say the conversation didn't go on very long.

Oh my, you mean a court might have actually seen through her facade and said there was enmeshment?! Maybe there is progress on the horizon!

As this is upstate NY!!!!  Where the GUBM's word is gospel!

Seriously!!! We're in upstate NY, and the court/judge we dealt with didn't even want to HEAR the phrase "PAS." Could things be changing?

Yah. That one is high conflict if anyone is.Little did she know she was seeking sympathy from an embattled Step mother.

LOL.

Im also a BM divorced twice with two ex husbands who didnt pay CS, were abusive, drank heavily (2nd one) and refused to work/provide.  It never occurred to me to go scorched earth.

It astounds me how many people hate their ex more than they love their kids.

You should find out if her Ex is re-married. Chances are you would have a new BFF and a guaranteed bond with the new SM :p

Wow this sounds like our GUBM exactly!!! Thing was for us court recognized all that but failed to do a thing about it!!

So do you think they all read some book on how to be a GUBM or what?!

So many stories that are absolutely identical.... has to be more than a coincidence.
