Does the madness ever end?
First off, thank you in advance for reading my mini rant here. I'm just so frustrated right now...
My question to everyone is, does the madness and hate EVER STOP? I never met a woman more hateful than BM or more full of herself. Normally, I am very good about letting it roll off my back and laughing about it later but there are days like these when I would love to beat her and her BF over the head with something blunt and scream at the top of my lungs how I really feel about them. I have never done anything to this woman or her new family and I didn't even know SO when they were together so why am I the hate target of choice for everyone?
It's petty things which have added up over time that are making me want to climb the walls. Most recently, I went to pick up SS7 (SO was working and BM can't bother to drop SS7 off at our house)and waited outside while they got his things together and I was standing by the window to their living room listening to them make fun of everything from my "fancy" attire, to my younger age, to how huge and pregnant I look. I know it doesn't matter and it isn't what her and her family were saying that's bothering me is all the unnecessary hatred. SO and I ignore every insult and her attempts for starting a fight but that seems to make her CRAZIER and then more and more texts come with even nastier insults. Then five seconds later she is saying all she wants to do is get along and for me and SO to stop antagonizing her even though we haven't said anything!? I have ignored this woman face to face as she is insulting me in front of her son because I refuse to stoop down to her level and set a bad example for SS7. It got so bad one night when she picked him up that SO couldn't ignore how she was treating me and told her firmly to leave. BUT SHE LIKED THE NEGATIVE ATTENTION?!
Somebody please tell me the hatred dies down after awhile if I continue to ignore it. The woman is 35 years old and really should know how to behave...right?

I know I am praying for BM to get back with her ex boyfriend or get in a serious relationship so she can leave us alone!

10 years here And no change. In fact, its gotten worse since now the sds18 and 15 have joined their mom in picking on me.
Thank you for the replies
Thank you for the replies everyone, I'm sorry to hear that it doesn't end but at least I'm not alone.

My DH's ex was a bit of a head case when the SD's were young but it was so long ago. The SD's just picked up where she left off. BM doesn't bother me in the least and did not leave any scars.
The SD's unfortunately have left horrendous scars on my well being. Thankfully I am learning how to not give a shit what they say and do.
Almost 20 years since I
Almost 20 years since I separated/ divorced my ex husband and he continues to absolutely hate me and everything I do. I've never once given him the satisfaction of responding to his nonsense and when my children try to talk negative about their dad I won't hear of it. I tell my children to love and accept him as he is and make the best of it. Years ago my children learned that their dad really loved them and paid them more attention when they talked badly about me, but as time went on and I remained mostly true to myself and did not let the negativity in my home- my children saw their dad for who he really is. He's a bitter, spiteful man and as young adults my children choose to have minimal contact with him. My oldest son has 2 children and the children are never allowed to talk about me or things they have done with me. The grandkids call him "Poo Pa" and I heard it through the family grapevine that my son has them call him that because he is "poo" I smile to myself about that but never let my children know that I approve
