Well I can't say for sure BM has a mental illness but I think so I used to work at a Mental Health Clinic and I would say she is crazy.

I would like some insight, someone to help me with what I am feeling…

We are going through some rough times right now and the child is placed right in the middle of it all… My SD’s BM is a horrible person… My SD goes to a performing arts school and we have all known about the end of the year trip to Chicago… The cost of this trip was $1,200.00… All through the year they did fundraisers to help with the cost… I should say we did fundraisers… The BM did not do any of them… My SD was extremely busy with her cheering and drama, that the majority of the fundraisers she could not attend due to cheerleading… With all this said, she only raised about $200.00 in fundraising… Which left the balance of $1,000.00 to be paid… Initially the BM would call BF and give him guilt about the trip and how sorry he was for not taking his bonus money and paying for this trip… On and on for months we heard about how she had no funds to contribute and how sorry he was… Along with the Chicago trip all year we have also paid for cheerleading… We contribute to over 95% of the cost for ALL extra-curricular activities…

Got this article by e-mail...thought I'd share....
VERY SCARY!!!
Crazy BM's are bound to do anything..... :jawdrop:We often read or have heard of

"people who act in very strange and

I'm not sure if anyone knows how I am feeling here, but as divorced parents, somebody may be able to relate...

My ex and I have been divorced since 2000, and yet he is still bitter and mean! For the last 8 years, he's been a pretty big deadbeat. His child support payments are very sporadic because he's hopping from job to job. He hasn't filed his taxes in a few years either, because he doesn't want the money to go to me. That in itself has been greatly frustrating, but what I don't get is why he has to be so mean to me?!? I have no idea where he is coming from, as everything he says is a lie - and I mean everything! It's like I'm talking to a maniac! (the guy doesn't even have a substance abuse problem). I've always allowed my children to see him, and yet he never even tries. He saw his kids (3 kids - 15, 13, and 10) once so far this year - this past Easter. He picked them up for a couple hours. The time before that was Christmas. In between this, there have been no phone calls, no contact. Not even a birthday call or card or anything! When he quits his job, that is when I usually try to make contact with him (honestly, I'm to the point where all I want from him is the CS), and I'm not going to let him get away with not taking care of his responsibilities! It's hard to raise my kids without his support! On top of the huge lack of communication, when I do ever get a hold of him, he is mean as a snake!

The last time BM had a serious BF dump her, she freaked out and said she "couldn't take it" meaning, the kids. She left the kids w/ my fiance's parents and my fiance for over a week because she needed to "get away" then she left town.

I know I do!!!!
Abusive men is a common subject in the world but what about ABUSIVE WOMEN????
They do exist, but there's not much information out there because it often goes unreported. Why?? Ego?? Embarassment?? Afraid someone won't believe you??

I am about to go crazy. Here is the situation in a nut shell (if that is even possible). I have been married for 5 years, have a 3 year old with husband and a SS13. He has ADD, his mother has never worked in the 5 years that we have been together, has had 7 homes, (all evictions) we even helped her move once because she called and said she was leaving all of sd13's stuff if we did not help.

So my SD is three years old and the jacket her BM puts on her when going to daycare and our house is 18 months! The jacket does NOT fit her and her poor little arms stick out of the sleeves longer than the sleeve itself and its so tight on her body - that she can barely move. My husband already addressed our concern for a new jacket and BM told him that she has 4 jackets and if he doesn't like it to buy her a new one! The ****ing nerve of her! I couldn't believe my ears. What would you do? I am thinking of giving the coat to good-will and telling her to bring a different one to daycare when she comes to pick up SD. Anyone else encounter such atrocious behavior?

My SS7 mother is an unmedicated bipolar, irresponsible, trashy kind of mom. You know the kind-let's the kids stay up all night, dresses them in rags, can't keep a job, gets evicted from apartment after apartment and blows all her money the day she gets paid and then has none the next day.

Borderline Personality Disorder (DSM-IV Personality Disorders 301.83[1]) (BPD) is defined as a personality disorder primarily characterized by emotional dysregulation, extreme "black and white" thinking, or "splitting", and chaotic relationships. The general profile of the disorder also typically includes a pervasive instability in mood, interpersonal relationships, self-image, identity, and behavior, as well as a disturbance in the individual's sense of self. In extreme cases, this disturbance in the sense of self can lead to periods of dissociation.[2]

My husband has custody of his son every other weekend. The rest of the time, his son lives with his mother. I want to stress that there is NOTHING wrong with his son except that which is normal boy behavior for his age.

I have dealt with my husbands ex for two years now. She was diagnosed with bipolar when she was younger. Our life has been total torment because of this woman. She "thinks" that she is god I guess. She is very abusive to my husbands 7 yr daughter.
