I was very nearly attacked by husbands, ex wife's husband tonight. After I drove away with him still hanging in my driver side window they proceeded to follow us all the way home from picking up the boys. What a great example of how adults are to behave. Is this normal behavior here in the south? She was pissed because I yelled at SS8 the other day for going into Caitie's room after he was told not to. And BM's hubby leaned into my car window and was attempting to be menacing. I hope his arm got hurt when I drove off. Then they followed us all the way to the entrance of our subdivision.

Seriously, I just yelled at the kid. She acted like I beat him with a belt.

Wow. What did the skid say?

Wow. What did the skid say? They must have been scared!!

I would seriously consider filing charges. Not to prove a point, but to protect yourself and get this on record for the future.

Yes, you should get it

Yes, you should get it recorded somewhere! That way if it happens again you have it there so more action can be taken.
It is not normal behaviour and it is certainly not something children should see ever!
My partner and BM couldn't ever meet without a yelling argument, so in the end they went to mediation and were only allowed to discuss things to do with the child and it all had to be written down in a 'communication book' so that it could be used in any court action. Luckily we had no court action and BM 'lost' the book after 6 months because she kept violating their parenting plan and it was documented.
But, maybe suggest that if they have any issues like that again to please write a letter to her and not to behave so terribly in front of the child. How disgraceful to try and intimidate a woman! I would be worried about the child's safety with a man like that in the house!

I'm from the south and no,

I'm from the south and no, that's not normal behavior. Maybe it is normal behavior for people who belong in either anger management classes or a psych ward.

Or a trailer.

Please report it! I'm worried

Please report it! I'm worried for you and the skid too!

Also from the south, and NO

Also from the south, and NO it isn't typical behavior.

It's only typical behavior for crazy people, and it sounds like this guy fits the bill. Inform him in writing that from now on he is not to touch you, your vehicle, or your property for any reason.

We had problems with BM2 saying that DH had beaten her and intimidated her, trying to get DV charges against him (which she never did because miraculously she could never prove anything). As a result, she isn't allowed on our property. She picks SD up at the end of the driveway, on video surveillance. When DH goes to pick SD up after her visits, he always has a witness and never gets out of the vehicle. If she has anything to say, she has to text it to him, or email him with it. This is how you treat crazy people...like the liability that they are.

Please, please take this lunacy seriously, if not for your safety, for your skids safety.

Also, carrying mace isn't a

Also, carrying mace isn't a bad idea, either. The next time that guy leaned into my vehicle, he would get a real unpleasant surprise.

No this is not normal

No this is not normal behavior in the South or anywhere that I know of.

I like the having a witness idea!! I also like to carry a big Maglite flashlight in my car, it is heavy like a police bully club.!!!

Ha-!!! now that was funny

Wow... this is over the line.

Wow... this is over the line. Please take this from experience. If you were not "touched" or hurt in any way, then document the incident verbatim in a journal. Date it, make sure all witnesses to the incident are listed. I will tell you, now is the time to start an incident journal. Every incident must be dated and witnesses to it must be listed. I repeat this only because I am trying to drive this home. Documentation is everything in a court of law. In addition, if you are verbally harassed, or any sort of violence is shown or intended, you MUST contact the police and put in an incident report. If you don't do this, you will not be able to get a protective order in case of an emergency because this is the first question they will ask you.

Good Luck.

Thank you all so much for the

Thank you all so much for the information. I will be getting that incident journal together. I am pretty sure I will be needing it. I am calling my lawyer to see if she has anything to add to the comments on here. I am so glad I found step talk.

Any attorney will want a

Any attorney will want a typed journal. Do yourself a favor and do it on your computer, and password protect the file. Later if need be, you can print it out. Also...it is good info to have just to prove to yourself later, that you weren't just losing your mind for no reason. Re reading can show you either you have come a long way, or you are losing the battle.

I'm from the deep south. And

I'm from the deep south. And no. That kind of behavior is not normal from anyone but the same type of trashy people that you could find anywhere in this country. Quite honestly, in the south, we are pretty good an insulting people without them every realizing they've been insulted until a few hours later.

Call the police and see if they'll take a report.

Hey y'all - me too!! I was

Hey y'all - me too!! I was just laughing a little that that was even considered a factor? but am giving the benefit of the doubt, like 'nice' people do!!! that maybe she was a little upset when writing this.

I love it when we can convert them though - some of the fiercest defenders of 'how we are' I find are those who have transplanted here, then found they were putting down roots. Come on down honey child!!!

I am a southerner too and

I am a southerner too and mom2five hit the nail on the head! We are really some of the kindest people you will find, but mess with us (or our family) and we will hand your a** to you...LMAO
