dealing with BM long rant sorry

islandermommy's picture

hello my fellow step parents. I am new to this forum, I have many issues with bm and hope I can get some advice. gonna be a long vent. sorry.

last year I met the love of my life he has two beautiful children whom I adore and love very much. I too have 4 children of my own from a previous marriage. so we have a big blended family and I wouldn't change it for the world.right from the beginning the bm of his children didn't like me. she didn't like when he would spend time with me and all our kids.she would even call him when he was with me and say I need to talk to you. mind you this woman cheated on his with his father and left him for his father who is the poppa of her children. she always tried to come between us and would call and constantly yell at him and say well I don't want my kids with her. eventually she realized how much the kids loved me and wanted to be with there dad and our blended family. so as the summer of 2014 went on she would manipulate him to get her own way. like when she said oh can I switch weekends with you cause I would like to go to my moms and he said no cause we had made plans on doing stuff with all our kids that weekend. but she said no too bad iam going to my moms and there is nothing you can do about it, so she went not only for the weekend but for 2 weeks and never even let him make up for the time he had away from the kids which I think is selfish. so in sept of 2014 his dad was renvovating my fiances childhood home to sell and they wanted him to go with them to help out. so I said sure we will all go,so off wewent I didn't pay too much attention to his ex nor his father while we were there, just spent time with all our kids while they worked, I cooked and helped where needed. so now we are into nov and hockey season has started for his daughter and my 3 girls. we have to be at the rink together at first I felt tension. but never let it bother me. as time went on dec came the fiancé was away with his dad helping with renos I reached out to his ex and asked would you like to come to the girls hockey game with me, she agreed we talked and got along. I was so happy that finally we were becoming friends. the whole hockey season was awesome until sunddenly my step son got sick, it concerns me that she waited 4 days and 3 of us telling her he is very sick to take him to the hospital. hee couldn't be woken up his oxygen levels were at 70, he was hospitalized for 7 days was pneumonia. after he got out he was feeling much better and she kept him there for a few extra days to make sure he was better before coming to our house which I totally understand. but that's when she manipulating again. my fiancé would say I will be by tomorrow to come pick up the kids after work, she said No don't talk to me like that you need to ask for permission to have the kids, mind u there is no court order in place only a mutal agreement that states he has the kids every other day and every other weekend. I don't understand how she canbe so rude to him. so the next days comes he calls and texts her to have the kids ready that he is on his way. she doesn't answer. she finally answers and says no its too late you cant have the kids. she also uses the excuses oh if you don't brush ur teeth u cant go to daddies,you don't do ur homework you cant go t o daddies. she has even gone as far as telling her I am mean and she doesn't like me. I have been nothing but nice to this lady and she is jealous that I am with her ex. so in april of this year my she step son a seizure and we all gathered like normal people. we got along and didn't really talk. so she takes him home doesn't give him the meds like the dr said and bundled him up in a blanket next to his 6 yr old sister and went and took a bath. well he had another seizure. the seziures were caused by his temp rising from normal to 105. so why on gods green earth would you bundle a child with a fever having seziures and than leave him alone with his 6 yr old sister and take a bath is beyond me. so again she kept him at her place until he was better. this child has been sick all winter. I when I asked if we could have the kids for the week to make for lost time at our place she said you need to mind your own business and shut your mouth. I was very taken aback by this rude disrespectful tone she was using with me. I don't know how much more I can handle, she expects my fiancé to spend time with her and I am uncomfortable. can some one who has been through something similar help.she is like the ex from hell.

Your fiancé needs to go to court and get a court order. She is obviously not a low conflict ex and trying to do things amicably with a mutual agreement in that kind of situation is just begging for trouble. He needs a CO and to document everything if she doesn't follow it then take her to court for contempt.

She treats him this way because she can. She left him for his Father (who he continues to not only be in contact with but to help with home renos???) and he's done Nothing to show her she doesn't hold every card in the deck. You and he sound like you're still trying to make friends with a woman that is treating him like a total doormat and doesn't treat you any better. So change your approach. Go to court, treat her in a businesslike manner and stop trying to be her friend.

Also if she's such a lousy mother as to not take her incredibly ill child to the dr, the thing with the seizures.... Why is he not seeking custody of his kids to get them away from such an unhealthy environment?

he doesn't want to cause drama, he wants to keep the peace. everytime he tries to talk to her when she dispesects him she gets all bitch mode on him and says stop stressing me out. like wtf does she think she does to me. I am 5 yrs olderthan her and would never act like that toward my ex's gf..

Aeron's picture

What peace? The one where she screws him out of seeing his kids? How is that peace? How is fighting for your rights drama?

He can claim it all he wants but it sounds really weak to me. It sounds like either he doesn't care enough to fight for his rights or he's too scared to stand up to her and take her to court. She's not going to work with him or respect him or be agreeable so any peace he thinks he has is a total illusion. He can kid himself but he and the kids are going to lose out. She's not going to just magically become reasonable and respectful.

You need to stop contacting her. She doesn't ever have to speak to you. Dad needs to take his button to court and get a visitation order in place. Without one she free to do just she wants to do

Are they divorced?

I don't talk to her at all now.. I ignore her.he goes over there to visit his kids cause she won't allow the kids over if someone in our house is sick..they were never married just lived common law she tried to force marriage on him and he wouldn't. He always gives her own way to her all the time to keep her happy all the time.. I am so sick of her also texting and calling him about her problems.. she sleeps with his dad and does that around his children. . How is that ok also..I don't know how to deal with it.. tonight I stopped by his work to grab my wallet from the van and she was here with the kids cause he works with his dad.. she came in while he was working and asked if he could watch his son.. umm no he is working I don't understand why she does this all the time.. this young chick has problems

This is some ghetto crap. The new stepdad is the kids' grandfather. BM cheated on dad with his father. Instead of dad cutting his father out of his life, he actually works with him.

Then when granddad needs help with his house, he calls your boyfriend and he's happy to go help out. While dad, granddad and mom are working o the house, SM is watching all of the kids and cooking for everyone.

He hates BM who is causing all sorts of problems, yet he has no problemishes going to her house to spend time with their kids.

This has to be made a joke.

islandermommy's picture

This is no joke this is my life right now. I love my fiance and just wish he would grow a back bone with her. . He is a pure sweetheart and can't seem to say no to anyone.. He doesn't hate the bm he is friends with her and wants to Co parent with her.. Yes he goes to visit his children there because my kids have been sick and she won't allow his kids over so they don't get sick.. I have just tried to be nice.. but now the renos are done and we don't have to deal with her much she still tries to cause bullshit.. texts him all then call him if he doesn't answer.. shows up at his work.. she insults me even when I don't talk to her.. telling her kids Oh I don't like her.. I don't need any of that from her

Spending time the kids at her house is not the only option. He could pick them up and spend time with them somewhere else. Why would he want to be friends with a woman who cheated on him WITH HIS FATHER????

He sounds like a man who still has feelings for his ex. Their relationship ended because she left him. BM has the power to cause problems because he allows her to do so.

You could vent an give examples of how bad/awful/annoying you feel and believe BM is. Bottomline? Your BF is allowing it. He's letting her call the shots and accepting her text/phone calls. Honestly? Sounds like the only one who isn't happy in this little family of yours is you.

Yet your profile states you're getting married soon. Perhaps until your BF takes you and your concerns/feels seriously , gets a CO with a regular schedule and agreements between the two parents, why would you even think about walking down the aisle and tying yourself to all this?

He's not friends with her - he is her doormat. He can want to co parent until the end of time but she's not complying. She's doing exactly what she wants, your fiancé be damned.

Until he grows a spine none of this will get better and will likely get much worse. She insults you because she can. You are nothing to her and she knows he won't stand up to her. So you have zero standing. You can get upset about how she treats you but it's not going to change, there's no incentive for her to behave differently. Unless your guy changes his way of dealing with her or you leave him, I'd say you better get used to it.

He wants to be friends with her for the sake of the kids and being civil.. I don't get why he would want to be friends with her either after what she did to him.. but he claims he is doing it for the sake of the children. But the way I see it is we have two house holds now and she is not part of it. Yes he does allow it cause if he stands up to her she has a bitch fit.i am very happy in my relationship just don't like how she can treat someone so bad.

Aeron's picture

The kids who aren't receiving proper medical care, who are being kept from him, who are being subjected to hearing trash talk from their mom.... Yeah I totally get why he thinks this is working. I get being civil. Civil is a great goal. But she isn't civil. So what he's being is a pussy. If he really wants best for his kids then he needs to take her to court and stop being her puppet and showing his kids that he isn't worthy of respect. That he isn't willing to fight for them.

It still strikes me as either fear or laziness though the previous posters suggestion that he still has feelings for her could be valid. It's pretty astonishing that he'd still be dancing to her tune after she screwed his Father. But then I also don't understand how he could keep working with his dad when dad screwed the mother of his kids. Or how you can respect a guy that is willing to just go along with his dad and his ex's requests after that.

FACT. There will be no peace with this woman

FACT. Being a doormat for the sake of the kids does no one any good. It just teaches the kids they can also be disrespectful and rude to you guys.

FACT if dh keeps being a doormat he will lose you.

Absolute truths. It took my wife the first few years of our marriage to figure this out. There was no peace with the Sperm Clan, particularly Sperm GrandHag. Being accomodating with them when they were irrational and unreasonable only inspired them to ever more insame toxc bullshit. I had to give my bride clarity in order to keep our marriage moving in a positive direction. Quit accomodating the toxic bullshit of the Sperm Clan or get out of my way and I would deal with them.

She gained clarity, joined me in the hobby of destroying the Sperm Clan legally, financially, socially, within their Church community, and in their jobs doing whatever was necessary to protect the Skid's best interests.

It worked wonders.

Let me get this straight. You are looking for advice from someone who has been through haveing their wife cheat on them with their own father who is now not only the grandfather of the Skids but also their step father? :? :jawdrop: :sick:

Your FDH needs to grab a big handfull of balls and deal with both his toxic XW and his completely devoid of character idiot father.

Get to court, get a custody/visitation order and start to keep his foot up his disgusting pig of an XW's ass and run his own father out of the state on a meat truck..... already butchered.

Until he has a court order XW can play him anyway she wants and lead him around by the short and curlies.

As for being friends with your FDH's XW, why the FUCK would you want to be friends with such a disgusting adulterous whore who is screwing her own children's grandfather? :sick:

The only way your DH will be able to keep the peace and protect the best interests of his children is to destroy his X. The foundation for that is a court order. That his X is screwing his father and the kids grandfather ought to get the Judge's head very near exploding and could play very well to your FDH's advantage regarding custody, visitation, and child support.

You cannot reason with disgusting pigs and you chould not try. You deal with disgusting trash like the XW and Grandpa/Fuck Buddy by destroying them in every way legally possible. You never stop, you protect the Skids from the shallow and polluted end of their gene pool and you give them no quarter. They do what they are told, when they are told to do it, or they suffer the maximum consequences and pain that can be brought to bear.

:sick: :sick: :sick: :sick: :sick: Your poor Skids. Being saddled with a skank whore mother, and a disgusting character void moron for a grandfather/stepfather. And your DH. He should just beat his father to within an inch of his disgusting life and let him know that if he ever is within proximity to your DH's kids DH will finish the job and feed his disgusting father's body to the local pig farm live stock.

Just Wow!!!!!

Yes she did cheat on him with his father.. When I ask her to leave us alone and only contact us regarding the kids she tells me yo grow up.. I would love to get a court order and shove it in her face.. She claims oh ur dh and I get along when ur not around.. First things first the only time my dh is around her is when she needs to take the kids to the er which has been 4 times in the past 3months.. I don't understand how a child could get so sick and be in the hospital as much as this little one.. I am a mom of 4 bio children and 1 angel not once did any of my children spend an over night in the hospital let alone a week.
