Participated in childish behavior with BM.....and it felt really GREAT!!

Things with DH and BM have been a bit tense lately. They attended mediation again today and she started crying and caused such a scene that the mediator told them both to get out of her office. :jawdrop:

She called DH this afternoon and started some more crap about money and at some point in the conversation she says "Well maybe I'll just call WifeVersion2.0 and ask her about it directly", DH says go ahead I'm sure she'd love to hear from you. So a couple hours later I call DH and he asks me if she has called me and I said no. He tells me what happend and I decide I'll give her a call and see what she needed. }:) Yes, I know, I know, I know I shouldn't stoop to her level but I've had it with her crap and her empty threats.

So the call starts out well enough but goes down hill when I inform her that I ordered contacts for SS11 since she hasn't done it yet and that we will be sending her the receipt for her 1/2.

I love that she gets so flustered and tries to insult me and manages to insult herself at the same time.

Example 1:
BM: Oh yeah you're so perfect with your two kids with two different dads.
ME: Really? I'm sorry you have 3 kids with how many different dads? (The answer in case you are wondering is 3 KIDS with 2 MEN) DUH!!!
BM: SILENCE

EXAMPLE 2:
BM: Well I could have gotten allimony too
ME: Really? 10 years ago? You did get temporary allimony they just called it spousal support while you drug out the divorce for over a year.
BM: I could have gotten actual allimony but I didn't b/c I was still fu&#ing DH (I already knew this information but I suspect it was her attempt to drive a wedge between me and DH, little does she know we talk about everything)
ME: Yeah, I know that had to be hard for you to give up, he is AMAZING in bed. But you still couldn't have gotten allimony for any more than 3 years in TX.
BM: How do you know, is that what you got from your exes?
ME: Heck NO! I've never depended on a man to support me, not my husband and sure as hell not an EX HUSBAND! I have a job, I don't need a man to pay my bills.
BM: SILENCE

EXAMPLE 3:
BM: Are you going to have a baby with DH too?
ME: That's not any of your business and I can assure you that if we do decide to have a baby you won't be consulted on the matter.
BM: I figured that's the only reason he married you.
ME: No BM, DH married me because he wanted to not because he felt obligated to like he did when he married you after you trapped him by getting pregnant with SD.
BM: I dare you to have a baby with him, I just DARE you!
ME: Is that a threat?
BM: No, I just want you to see what he's really like
ME: I've known him for over 10 years, I do know what he's really like, and I think he's wonderful.
BM: SILENCE

BM: I hate you, you are the most deceptive person I have ever known.
ME: You hate me? Really? As far as SM's go, I assure you that you could have done much worse for your kids. I've done nothing but love and treat them as my own. I know you are only saying that because you are pissed off and throwing a fit that you aren't getting your way, so I'm going to forgive you for saying such hateful things about the woman who makes sure that your kids are fed, clothed, cared for and loved while they are at her home.
BM: SILENCE
ME: Are you still there?
BM: SILENCE (I can hear the baby in the background)
ME: Apparantly we have nothing left to say. I'll be sending you the receipt for the contacts certified mail as you requested, we will see you tomorrow, have a good day.

This totally made my day. The comment about your DH being "AMAZING in bed" also totally made me smile. You put her in her place. Good for you! Childish, maybe, but it had to feel good. Sometimes you just have to get in the mud with the pigs! lol...

AWESOME!!!! Biggrin

BM in my case did the same thing during mediation, she cried and screamed and cried some more and played the single mom/victim card until the mediator told BM and DH that they MUST go to court. :sick:

I think it's fine to finally put your foot down. Occasionally we all need a reality check. To me, what you did was hit her with a brick wall. LOL. Which sounded well deserved.

Taking the high road doesn't always work when you're dealing with crazy. Crazy lives on it's own plain of existence and doesn't quite see things as they are. Case in point all the crazy BMs out there. Just like StepDuex said, "Sometimes you just have to get in the mud with the pigs!"

The truth hurts 'em sometimes, don't it? Good for you girl!

Way to go! I always hope that I can come up with things like you did if the situation ever happens and I get sucked into one of those convo's...but I'm afraid I would just freeze and flee the situation as fast as possible especially if I were caught off guard. Bravo to you!!

I LOVE IT!

I mean, there's nothing to say there. Great way to put her in her place without technically putting her down.

I did enjoy it. I always take the damn high road and it's lonely cold and boring up there! Unhappy - You are so right. When dealing with crazy, the high road just doesn't have any impact what so ever. It's so frustrating!

I wasn't caught too off guard b/c I was the one that called her. If she had called me I probably would have stumbled more. But I've put enough holes in my tongue over the past year from biting it that I was ready with a long list of things that she has done and I didn't even get to 1/2 of them.

She must honestly think that my DH and I never talk. It was one lie after another out of that woman's mouth and as soon as I called her out on it, another insult was hurled at me. I've never argued with a dumber person in my life and that includes my 2 ex husbands!!! Smile

I'm the type of person that thinks about this conversation for hours afterward though and I don't like that it has had that kind of impact on so much of my day. Just replaying it over and over and over again and thinking of what I could have said differently. I knew mentioning the contacts would set her off and I could have ended the conversation before it went there but I was so ready to stop biting my tongue. Good news is DH supports me 1000000%. I thought maybe she would call him after our call was over but it's been nothing but silence since then and I'm happy about that!
