Five years and nothing, then all of a sudden she has to reinforce her value on Mother's Day by belittling your position in her children's lives....hmm....

*~So sayeth Nymh~*

When a person receives an email such as this...you need to read it over, get pissed off and then read it over again....its only then you can see the true meaning behind her words. That they are the ones so angry about you having any involvement in their children(s)/ex hubby's lives that they can't deal with it. It really pushes them over the edge or they wouldn't have said anything.

Personally if they have this much hate towards us, they are suffering bigtime. Don't sweat it, you are doing a good job MOM & that is what really pisses her off!!

My SD didn't even want to go her mom's yesterday. They saw each other for three hours. SD was upset that she was missing our gathering of my family. BM should have had her this whole weekend, but only took a few hours on Mother's Day. That's because she feels entitled due to her wearing the name "mother" like her title of "nurse." They are id tags.

Then when SD got back she told DH that when she told her mom that she was in fact coming back for her next scheduled weekend, BM was mad. It's Memorial Day weekend and BM didn't plan on having her. SD told BM that we will be out of town and therefore BM would have her til Tue morning for school. BM always drops her off by 9 am on Monday holidays, rather than keep her the whole day. BM told SD to find a friend's house to stay at.

Unbelievable.

But DH knows I need the break. He is making SD deal with her mom. I think this is a really good idea anyway. SD needs to stop fantasizing and romanticizing BM, and not allowing them to pick and choose when they relate is part of that process.

Otherwise BM gets to really be Disneyland.

If BM wants to get out of her responsibilities then she will have to move to another state.

Your Skids BM is a piece of work just like my SD's BM. Just keep in mind that those kids have a shot at one day knowing exactly who was their "real" mom. YOU.

This woman is so jealous of you!! You must be doing things right.

Mother's Day is the lonliest day in the world for those "moms" who haven't done their job. She was so miserable she wanted to share it with you.

i've said it before and I'll say it again: "A mother is the person that raises you, which is not always the same person that gives birth to you."

I wasn't raised by my BM and thank GOD for that!!!!

This woman that wrote this email is seething with jealousy...in my mind that's pretty good karma. Just keep doing it and have fun watching her squirm!

Thanks guys.
That night I went in for the kill (although I had arranged to do this a few days ago) - I sent her flowers to say they were from the boys. She was seething as she said "tell her I said Thanks" to DH. He said "God you are so forgiving and sweet and kind. It's why I love you so much. How can you do it?"
SS7 called DH and said "Dad I can't wait to go home. Mom does some really weird stuff like she is watering the flowers we gave her and she is drowning them. I don't get it."
DH and I are close. We tell each other everything from how we currently feel down to what color our bowel movements are .... But I haven't told him what I was thinking "IT was for the boys' sake but I would really like to send her a brown paper bag with a piece of rotten fruit and maggots in it."
