Has she changed?

slchance's picture

When I met my husband one year after his divorce was final, he had a four year old son, and his ex had already remarried. Our relationship with her was not very friendly, to say the least. She has since divorced again and is planning on remarrying. We have been married for five and a half years, longer than the time from when they first met to when they divorced. Things have cooled off considerably to the point where we talk civilly at baseball games and exchanges, etc., and she has even joined a church with this guy.

Is this Mean???

SS is 6 and while he is at our house he has numerous friends to play with . DH and I encourage him to be outside or around other kids. We plan play dates and if we go or do anything we always try and have a friend come along. (SS is with us a full week the with BM a full week) If school is out early friends are always around or on no school days we either have him at friends or with friends. I teach school so I am off summers.

Enough with the head games

I am so tired of my ex and his new girl friend playing head games with my daughter. My daughter went for a visit at her dads when I called to say good night I hear the step mom tell my daughter I am on the phone but she says my first name to my daughter (my daughter was four at the time and is now five). My daughter answers the phone and begins to say hi using my first name. I was so hurt and mad. I told my daughter I am mama to her and she is to call me that. I could hear the step mom and dh in the back ground laughing.

He's in another mommy-worship phase

I had a pretty good night with SS but got frustrated by his seemingly constant references to his mommy. I was drinking a Diet Pepsi and he pointed out, "Hey, my mommy drinks that." Daddy fast forwarded through a show he DVR'd and SS squealed, "Hey, my mommy can do that." There were a dozen other references to what he did "at my mommy's home" or "with my mommy." I was so frustrated by hearing it. And I know I can't scream, "Kid, I don't give a f*** about your mommy" to a 4-1/2 year old.

So far...

I'm probably speaking too soon but so far there has only been one interruption from bm this week (and the phone went to voice mail and, better yet, no message). What a change from last week (we were interrupted daily with her drama). I'm sure I haven't seen the end of the interruptions but at least dh has started taking charge. He made an appointment with the dentist for the oldest ss to get a referral for braces (this was done the last time ss went to the dentist but bm failed to follow through). I was very surprised to see that dh did this.

Happy to have found you!

I have only been a member of StepTalk for one day now, but already I can tell that I have found THE place for dealing with step issues! It's hard to discuss some of the things that go in a blended household with anyone even remotely connected to the situation, they all seem to look at it differently. Thanks for being here guys! I look forward to becoming a part of your community.

Awkward Moment

New Stepmom's picture

I don't know about you guys, but I never just "bump into" the ex wife. I see her at planned events - soccer, dance, school functions - so I have a minute to prepare, you know? But I hardly ever just see her out in public. Well, DH had the girls last night and one of them had dance practice. He asked me to meet him and the other SD for dinner. So we met in the parking lot and as we walked in, guess who was sitting right there?? Yep, BM and her husband. Arghh!!!
