BM says I need to grow up-- long overdue vent
I was very lucky to discover this site very early into my relationship with BF so right from the start I made sure not to get in the middle of BF and BM. Now a year later I have not even had a conversation with the woman. I have found no reason to talk to her. Whatever she needs to talk about should be about SD and that is none of my business it is BF's therefore I find no reason to talk to her. Apparently this is driving her crazy. She has gone to many extremes to try and talk to me including asking my sister for my number and telling BF that I need to grow up and talk to her.
Um hello I am the one being adult here since I know for a fact that the only reason she wants to talk to me is to tell me that BF is horrible and mean person. She always is playing the victim. She blames him for everything wrong in her life when really it is her own fault. She is mad that he is a better parent than her.
Anyways I really do not want to talk to this woman but seeing as I am a better negotiator than her I wonder if it would be good for me to befriends her. Maybe if she thought I was her friend things would be easier for BF. All the stress lately has been her jealous of me since she finally got the point that BF loves me more than he ever loved her. But I also know that it will only take her a little bit to figure out that I have a lot of the same qualities she hates about BM.
Some of the other crazy things she has said in the past: it is against the law for BF not to text her back or answer her phone calls when she calls if he has SD. What a piece of work, she thinks that we need to bend over backwards for her. She has also told BF to leave SD's life because she is tired of fighting with him. I am glad that she cares enough about her daughter to want her father in her life, oh wait.
I just can't stand this woman. She is stupid, won't except responsibility, and cares more about herself than SD. She asks as if SD is a cabbage patch doll, she wants to play with SD only when it is convenient for her but acts as if she is the best mom ever. I come from the understanding that you have to earn the title of a good mom you don't just get to be called that. And trust me she does not earn it seeing how she left SD2 all alone in her apartment when BM was at work.
I know I am whining a lot but I have tried so hard not to focus so much on her drama but when she goes out of the way to stalk me it makes me think what the hell! I just want to be left alone to have a great life not to have to put up with her bs. I already have to live with the fact that the love of my life had a child with her. Isn't that bad enough to not have to deal with her. I already have to live with the fear that my children will be treated different by their dad and grandparents. I already have to deal with people telling BF SD was the best thing that happened to him (hello what about me?), I already have to live with the fear that when SD gets older she will do anything possible to break me and BF up. Isn't that enough why do I have to deal with her stupidity as well?

I'm on the fence.
I'm a big fan of letting DH deal with BM. And for any serious, kid-related issues or if she's being hostile, then I totally hand her over to him. That's what works for all of us. I stay out of the fighting. I tried to be nice to her early on, but as soon as she started using me for target practice, I did like you and avoided her like the plague. Fast forward to today. She's grown up a lot and so have I. We've both matured, we've both found our way, we're both living our lives and there's nothing left to fight about, anymore, so I can talk to her and we can be pleasant. I don't forgive her or forget all she's done, but I can be nice for one reason and one reason only... it's better to be friendly with her, no matter how fake it may be, than it is to keep fighting with her. And it doesn't cost me anything to be friendly to her, like it used to. That took time.
It's your call. You don't have to talk to or befriend anyone you don't want to. If you're interested in trying to make peace, then give it a shot. If it doesn't work, then you go back to avoiding her, no skin off your nose. If it costs you more emotionally than you're willing to give, then don't make the investment.
