TO BE OR NOT TO BE WITH BM????

So my New Years resolution was to try and reach out to BM, the lady who I had arrested 2 times because she threatened to kill me then broke an order of protection. She also has called my work in the past tring to get me fired and wrote a letter, she claims I broke confidentiallity laws, but obviously did not. She has called DSS on me 3 times tring to get my foster daughter taken away, which did not happen we are now adopting her. She refused to knock on my door to get her son last Friday, she called my DH to have him call me to send out my 4 year old SS. I told her she was more than welcome to knock or come in and she said, yeah, no thanks and left. I am a teacher and get school breaks off so that is when I watch my SS, she is a secetary at a school so she has to work breaks but gets out early. Instead of having me watch him she takes him to work with her, I find that weird, she has no family where we live her family is 45 minutes away, so she has no help, she has 1 friend here in the 7 years she has lived here. I think it is crazy she takes her son to work with her or her mom's boyfriend will watch him instead of being with me and his sister. Just on Monday at skiiing, my SS skis with his Dad, I said Hi and Bye and she totally ignored me, when I said by she giggled to herself shook her head and walked away, so now I am going to send her some baby pictures of SS as a nice gesture, because I think we have them all. I have no idea why, but I would almost rather be able to talk with her than have the tension every time we go some where to watch SS. But I guess I have to deal with it because I love my DH so much to put up with it. So do I try or not try?? Why do I get so nervious when I know she will be there?? My DH has given up on being nice, he has been overly nice for 3 years and she has done nothing but lie about him in court and treat him like shit. I have never been rude, but now for some reason in my crazy head, I want to try and talk with her, I feel better when I try, I hate leaving having not said anything. At least I know it pisses her off when I say anything to her. She hates me because she claims I destroyed her family,took her man, and had her arrested, which was her own doing. She never wants me to be around her son, which we are married and live together. So why do I have this feeling that things will be better if we can talk. We go to court hte 16th for full custody, after that she will probably never even look at me.

I will be awaiting your update on how that went.

I tried the same thing with my DH BM back in June. When I introduced myself to her as who would be living with SD when she comes....

She has now turned into a dang witch.

that you already put in the effort into trying to talk with her... and all she does is ignore you.

Personally, I would just drop it. It's great that you want to be on a good level with BM, but if she keeps acting the way she does, why continue to bother? It's just a waste of energy... trust me.

At one point I tried to be nice to my BM. It was all a waste of time because no matter how nice I was to her or how many favors I did for her and her child, she still talked bad about me behind my back. According to others, BM has called me a slut, whore, any other name in the book... so I was like... you know what? That's fine... call me whatever you want, but when you don't have any money to feed your child because you wasted it all on jewelry and clothes, don't come crying to me because this slut won't feel sorry for you.

it not worth your time and it will cause you more grief in the end. And don't me nervous! Stand proud b/c you know your the better person and she's jelous of that so show confidence! And when you do have to deal with her kill her with kindness it really gets to them, trust me.

she clearly is going to smack you with the olive branch you are extending, so don't give it to her! She's not ready and you will only be disappointing yourself.

I know but is it wrong to say that at least I get some joy out of pissing her off and my DH thinks I am an amazing women for tring to be nice. Keep it up, you guys help so much.

you the better person when you try to be nice to the person you can't stand. Smile Unfortunately I don't have the patience to be nice to BM anymore.

I know it's wrong of me not to want to have a good working relationship with the BM, but she's poked me with the olive branch one too many times and I will likely never extend another one!

but BM never recieves it like she should. She looks for the bad and turns everything around. I now am waiting for her to come to me, if she wants to be have a decent relationship with me it is up to her to start. I will respond kindly, I have no trouble giving respect when I am shown the same.
