It never ends :(

We called the cops on stupid BM this weekend.  She decided to try to punish DH for his "shitty attitude"....his response to her shitty attitude really....here is the just of it.  We were supposed to meet to get SD at 10:30.  He confirmed the same neutral location we always use b/c when she is being spiteful (and has been lately) she uses the agreement which states her parents home.  Anyways, she states "neutral place, you're lucky I went to church today"....and of course stupid DH says, "and you're lucky I give her back an hour early" b/c we have been doing that as well "for SD's sake" obviously.  Anyways, that pissed her off and of course she decided we could come to HER house to get SD if we wanted b/c she no longer agreed to neutral space.  DH says NO I don't agree to YOUR house, so parent's house as agreement states if we can't agree then or I'll call the cops".  Of course she thought he was bluffing.  We get to her parent's house she is of course not there.  So we send her 1 more text saying final chance to show up or we'll call the cops.  She ignores it so we call the cops and report it.  Then she starts texting (obviously her mommy let her know we were talking to the cops) "SD doesn't know what is going on, she just wants to spend time with you, she is happy to see you."  So we tell her okay, we're on our way, but didn't tell her we were going to meet the cops there as well so she can't falsely claim that she is threatened by DH as she likes to fake claim at her whim as well.  She's out front happily throwing the ball with SD.  SD runs to the car and DH texts, "not yet I'm waiting on the cops" and they rolled up at the same time.  I'll say the look of complete dispair on BM's face at that point was priceless.  She sends SD inside, cop talks to DH then goes over and talks to BM, confirms drop off at her parents, and then after he leaves BM texts "you better not tell my daughter anything or I'll proceed forward with court on Monday like I've been planning".  Not sure what she is proceeding with.  DH hasn't done anything.  Only thing she can do is go after more CS so I'm sure that is what she will do out of spite.  Well of course SD is upset so we explain to her that we didn't want to do things this way but we are tired of her mother messing with our time and we wanted her at 10:30 as planned but her mom was letting her negative feelings towards DH interfere with that and we won't be bullied by her over his time anymore.  SD says, "oh okay, well that explains why she wouldn't let me call you and kept telling me you were just running late".  Aww, poor BM's lies are exposed.  I try not to involve the children like this but BM needs knocked off her high horse.  BM is going to regret going to church even more b/c Tuesday and Thursday are the weeknights we have her to have until 9pm per the agreement instead of 8pm like we had been compromising on for so long...and SD starts school today.  Good thing you went to church BM.  Really helped you become a better person *GAG*.  

Oh and on top of field hockey she now has her in softball as well and the 2 overlap in practice.  This should be real fun.  Way to over book and over control a child.  Which of course interferred with DH's therapist apt with SD as well.  Hopefully the therapist is starting to see the real problem.....

Well good for DH for following through with calling the cops. We had drop off and pick up at the police station until meth mouth cried in court that it was so unfair because the cops were harassing her....um no getting arrested for shooting meth isn't harassment dumbaSS!

We also offered to do pick up drop off at the police station.  We had the police officer confirm drop off as well so she couldn't pull any shit at drop off.  We are just so tired of her basically constantly harassing us.  

Oh and she immediately wanted SD to call and talk to her when we got home with SD.  You know continuing to infringe on DH's time that was already cut short b/c of her little stunt.  SD walked to the kitchen but we heard her say, "yeah, I already know what happened"... b/c of course BM was going to explain it all to her when she got home and had a surprise for her.  Wonder what BM version she got of things.

Everytime meth mouth got busted she would be on a tear to get in touch with Spawn so she could do "damage control", lest we tell Spawn the truth and she believe us over meth mouth. Half the time we never even knew she got arrested until she would call to tall Spawn all about it, then Spawn would come out and blame us because after all if it came from meth mouth it was gospel.

Exactly BM wouldn't have to do "damage control" if she wasn't a liar and didn't play games.  She wasted hours of our time playing games and trying to exert control to punish DH for responding to her in the same way she talks to him.  It is sad really.  

I have no idea what BM told SD but I'm sure DH will know tonight when he gets her.  Of course BM is already trying to dictate pick up for tonight.  It is SD's open house so she wants to just meet DH at the school (obviously more convenient for her.  DH told her NO!  He said he will meet her at her parent's house and take SD to the open house.  She can drive to the school herself.

Why this bitter woman can't get passed her sh!t and understand that she's ONLY hurting her daughter. She's so busy trying to get back at your H and not realizing the damage that she is causing. Overbooking this young girl with sports just to limit time spent with her father....Just when you think she has reached a new low she goes and continues to find something else to undermine.

I hope things improve I know this is frustrating.

Siemprematahari, exactly, she is so damn bitter and spiteful.  DH doesn't even know what practice to take her to on his days b/c they overlap! I actually felt bad for SD b/c she was crying b/c BM came in crying (which I'm actually glad we made satan cry).  I just told SD that BM allows her ill feelings towards DH interfere with our time with her and we weren't allowing that anymore.  We didn't want things to go that way but we are tired of her bullying us and harassing us before/after ever visit and trying to control things.  That is when SD said, "well that explains why she wouldn't let me call DH.  I was begging to call him and getting on her nerves and she just kept telling me he was running late".  

Honestly since SD is now overbooked in activities I doubt she has any real interest in she will likely be "hurt" very soon.  Although MOTY BM is bribing her with pet turtles to stay healthy....WTF?!?!!

Oh GREAT. Several "pet turtles" carry nasty diseases. Just thought I would let you know, LOL, sorry.

Ha, well I'm sure when she contracts a disease from her bribe pet turtles it will be my 4yo son's fault.  It is always my kids or me or DH to blame!  Obviously!

Ugh, your DH needs to learn to ignore! Not saying BM isn't the cause of this crap, but when he responds tit-for-tat, he throws gasoline on the flames.

This. OP, your DH escalated this situation, not BM. Sure, she's a PITA, but now SD has had to witness the cops at what should be a mundane event AND have her mother blamed for something that wasn't entirely her fault while DH comes out smelling like roses.

I *do* get it. I do understand wanting to stick it to BM. But to take it to a point where cops were involved is a bit much. All your DH did was stoop to her level. This isn't a win.

I agree. Had he just bit his tongue when she made snarky, self-serving comment #567, and stayed silent, he would have picked up SD at the neutral location and none of this drama would have happened.

I always said about my DH - he never started it, ever - but his response would contribute to it escalating. It took him a long time to see that. When you are dealing with crazy, you have to learn how to not make it worse.

I do agree that he shouldn't have responded to her snarky comment.  She knows how to push his buttons.  I tell him all the time not to stoop to her level.  However, we (she includes me in all her rants and I never respond) have been dealing with her harassment and BS for long enough.  We did not want to call the cops.  We gave her a heads up.  So while you all may not agree with that action enough is enough.  She threatens us all the time.  She interferes with DH's time all the time.  5-6 years of him being dismissive b/c she is petty and controlling is to much.
