Are there any empowering songs (or angry songs) that you think of relating to BM or skids?

Hmm well I find myself listening to Mariah Carey "Hero" when SD is around and I play that song anytime I feel pain. It helps in keeping me focused but when all else fails, I play Snoop Dogg!!! I go for that music bc everyone around me hates it so it does what I want.

Sorry, it didn't answer your question and its the closest answer I have from experience.

There's a Paramore song, Misery Business (not sure if you all remember Paramore, they were a bit of a one hit wonder) that for some reason comes to mind re: BM.

She's got it out for me
But I wear the biggest smile

Whoa, I never meant to brag
But I got him where I want him now
Whoa, it was never my intention to brag
To steal it all away from you now

But God, does it feel so good
'Cause I got him where I want him now
And if you could then you know you would
'Cause God, it just feels so
It just feels so good

Second chances they don't matter people never change
Once a whore, you're nothing more
I'm sorry that'll never change

I watched his wildest dreams come true
And not one of them involving you
Just watch my wildest dreams come true
Not one of them involving you

I edited out some lines that don't apply as much but these verses are spot on. BM's got it out for me, but sorry to brag, but DH is mine. She's nothing but a low life. He spent several years with her and may have had kids with her, but it wasn't until he met me that his dreams began to come true. She gets to watch our lives from the outside looking in, and see how happy and amazing our lives are together. Yup, it feels pretty damn good! (plus the song is kinda angry, b*tchy, boastful and matter of fact all at once!

A song called You're Going Down by a one hit wonder band called Sick Puppies. It's hard rock and I like to belt it in the car when I'm angry.

Also a song from the Alice In Wonderland soundtrack sung by Avril Lavigne. I think it's called "Alice". Played over credits at end of film. Excellent lyrics.

Sometimes just a rousing FU in general song like I Will Survive by Gloria Gaynor will soothe me.

I always have liked two songs for BM... I Pray For You (Jaron and the Long Road to Love) and Only Prettier
(Miranda Lambert)

I haven't been to church since I don't remember when
Things were goin' great 'til they fell apart again
So I listened to the preacher as he told me what to do
He said you can't go hatin' others who have done wrong to you
Sometimes we get angry, but we must not condemn
Let the good Lord do His job and you just pray for them

I pray your brakes go out runnin' down a hill
I pray a flowerpot falls from a window sill and knocks you in the head like I'd like to
I pray your birthday comes and nobody calls
I pray you're flyin' high when your engine stalls
I pray all your dreams never come true
Just know wherever you are honey, I pray for you

I'm really glad I found my way to church
'Cause I'm already feelin' better and I thank God for the words
Yeah I'm goin' take the high road
And do what the preacher told me to do
You keep messin' up and I'll keep prayin' for you

I pray your tire blows out at 110
I pray you pass out drunk with your best friend and wake up with his and her tattoos

"Gives You Hell" by All American Rejects. It totally makes me and DH laugh about BM when we hear it, especially these lines...

I wake up every morning
With a big smile on my face
And it never feels out of place
And you're still probably working
At a 9 to 5 pace
I wonder how bad that tastes

And these...

Now where's your picket fence, love?
And where's that shiny car?
And did it ever get you far?

BM is very materialistic and got herself into such a financial hole that she has no choice but to work in an industry she hates for 12-16 hours per day to just stay afloat. She always thought she never had enough when she was with DH even though they owned a home and had 2 nice cars. She was always the "keeping up with the Joneses" type and wanted what other people had. She acts like she has money when she spends it faster than she makes it and borrows left and right to pay for crap she doesn't need. She spent assloads of money renovating her ancient house in a crap neighborhood and has struggled to pay her mortgage for years. She spent every last penny of her house's equity to put in a pool no one uses and a kitchen no one cooks in.

DH and I, on the other hand, both work part time (he runs a successful business and I bartend and wait tables). We take our kids to school and pick them up together every day. We have "Monday Funday" every week and get to do fun stuff like go to breakfast, play golf, etc because we're both off. We get to hang out every afternoon. We have a modest lifestyle but we're not materialistic and don't give a damn what anyone else has. We have everything we need and most of what we want. We're able to give our kids most of their wants too(without spoiling them, which I wouldn't do even if we were rich). We used to have corporate jobs (that we hated) and made tons of money but also had high expenses and we were miserable. Now we love our jobs and are so thankful to have an awesome life that gives us tons of family time.
