Lawyer or just ignore her????

So to sum up...DH was diagnosed with stage 1 lymphoma. SS13 was living with us 100% of the time until BM up and decided that she wanted him back for no apparent reason. She brought him to therapy last Wednesday, and then called the police to force him in her car and she took him home....without a discussion with anyone, just demanding DH support her decision...DH who is sleeping most of the time from chemo....

So tonight, we have no kids, and decide to relax a little...and get a barrage of txts from BM that DH is promising SS13 he'll get him out of her house...untrue...and flat out said she believes SS13 over DH, and she's not going to have any pity for DH because he has cancer, because he harassed her by taking her to court through her entire pregnancy (they began court before she was pregnant, and continued well after she had the baby)

What's going to reduce the stress here? An order of protection or just turning off the damned phone?

Or play the angry txt drinking game? Each time we get something useless, I'll take a shot of whiskey. We've already converted BM's number into a fart noise so we laugh instead of butterflies whenever she messages.

Get the no contact order, then own her idiot ass by continuing to drag her into court. That apparently gets her attention since she is still harping on it more than 13 years after the Skid was born.

Have fun putting her in a straight jacket. }:)

Court started in 2010, she had a new baby with her current idiot of a husband...we're 50K in the whole with credit card debt still trying to pay that shit back. She detests my ass and freaks out whenever I talk to her. I told her last time she did it a week ago I was infiltrating his phone for his protection and she freaked the hell out....So I was thinking of for the next nasty txt:

"Okay, BM. It's Poly again. Apparently you don't understand how this works. I'm going to be like a food tester and make sure no poison is getting to DH through his phone. If the txt is going to stress him, he's not going to receive it. Be nice. Have a fantastic day, you mom of the year, you!"

It's joint 50/50, so we're back to the paperwork. She begged DH to take SS13 back in May because he was "dangerous to her family". She just has no idea how to parent someone more mature and smarter than she is.

So he came and lived with us, we helped him with his depression through the summer, and got him out of his shell. The therapist has seen all of this. She just can't stand the idea of me having a hand in raising him and helping him through this, which she can't turn a blind eye to when DH is battling cancer, so she decided that SS13 is going back with her. She has to be the one to swoop in and save him, when in fact she has caused all of these problems from the get-go.

Anyways, I have a more concise awesome reply that doesn't even involve me talking directly to her:
