Psycho's...Same song...1,000,000 verse

So the question I'm proposing, and I'm definitely hoping someone will be able to talk me off the ledge...how do you handle a psycho path, posing as a "great mom"? A "certified" mother of the year, who enjoys bad mouthing the biological father, a stepmother who has continued to be respectful and loving to her children (despite their mother's rants, allegations, and late night/drunken text messaging), and truly delights in scaring her children into believing she can take them away from their father, despite no court ruling and a lack of any reasoning in doing so?

I've had enough. After the 1st and ONLY text message war with the psycho, I have decided I need another outlet. Any advice? And none of that "choose to ignore", BS. We've been through the counseling route. Ignoring doesn't work. This is my first, and hopefully only marriage. I refuse to let this medicated, alcohol pickled, wrinkled, big gummed, 14 year older bitch get the best of me. HELP!

Truly desperate and clinging to hope.

I have to say ignore if you can. It takes time but she may (like the crazy in my case) get bored with it when she gets no response.

I know the best thing is to ignore, but I have been doing that for almost two years now. I guess I'm to the point of extreme frustration. My husband is just as frustrated, but because of our upcoming custody trial, his hands are basically tied. He can't say anything due to the legal backlash, so I feel like its my job to defend us and our family. She tried her best to ruin our wedding by basically extorting my husband for more money in exchange for peace during our wedding, and then basically started up the crazy train again two weeks after we got back from our honeymoon. After two years, I feel like I'm reaching the end of my rapidly ending rope.

But today is a new day. I had to pour myself a few glasses of red wine last night, boo-hoo'd over the fairy tale marriage I'll never have (or at least not anytime soon), and put myself to bed with a late night PB&J. I know/hope this can't go on forever, but I think a few more Serenity Prayers may be in my future with this nut job.

On a different note, I am so glad a website like this exists. This process is a little more tolerable if you AT LEAST know you're not the only person battling these troll ex's.
