New and needing to vent..

finding my happy place's picture

2 years Ive been in a relationship with a man who has the * ex wife* and two sons, ages 8 and 15. Its just been ridiculous. The ex, has issues. she had issues when they were married which apparently made her feel the need to cheat and is with one of the guys that she carried on with in the 13 yr joke of a marriage they had..starting off with the pregnancy game to GET married.
What makes me angry is the court system.. how a low class cheater can enable herself into the puppet master role, win a house she barely financially helped with, have her credit debt be paid off , and have total control in how the ridiculous parenting schedule plays out..oops and i forgot .. free cash.. i mean * child support * and the court system doesnt give a rats ass about being fair and just.
She in turn, sold the house and hit the jackpot in doing so..decides she needs an new Escalade, massages, resort weekends because she is soo busy and stressed.. doing nothing, and recently went to Mexico for 5 days with a *gf* who is a known cheater as well. She has been living with one of the guys she was screwing around with during her marriage, altho she denies it but theres lots of proof.. and this fool was married too!He has two children also,who we hear have terrible manners and are very disrespectful. Go figure..

Something i read kind of covered A LOT if what is involved when it comes to this so called mother.. read below.. this was something i found on the internet - i didnt write it but it hit on many , not all but damn near all issues that im dealing with.. how about you?

And finally.....

Wow, I think my hubby's ex hit almost every single one of those. That's creepy, isn't it- that their behavior is so predictable. Kinda laughable. Almost makes me want to send the list to her annonymously and write out all the examples of when she did those things, and has continued to. Ahhhh, that sounds like too much work, though. I'll have to be content with knowing that the mere fact that I'm alive and with my husband and there's nothing she can do about it makes her want to vomit on a daily basis....
LOL
Great post! Smile

Ahh.. i am laughing at your response too.. even tho these are legit pains we feel.. its good to know someone else knows what you are talking about and it IS comical on some level.. and i think you HAVE to laugh at some of it or you will go insane. I told bf that im going to keep posting about her ridiculous crap and send her the link in about a year to read about her stupid self Blum 3 hugs!

That would be funny. Especially since you wouldn't be the only one posting about what a nut job she is. I think you're right- you have to laugh. I know I try to find the silver lining in everything- usually the silver lining in anything having to do with the ex means when she's made herself look like an a** , again. After I first started dating my husband, she was constantly sending cops over to my house. He did this, he did that, I want the kids back at this time and he won't do it. Such stupid stuff, I can't believe they didn't tell her they weren't her lackeys. But I digress. Anyway, she tried to tell me that the cops at my house all the time was my fault because of the company I was keeping. To which I responded "Oh, you mean the same company you kept for six years? Is that what you mean? You're a bright one." Surprisingly, nothing to say. All I can do is look at my husband and ask "You really married THAT?"

So, here's what I deal with...15 years of my husband's ex - whom constantly insists there is a problem with his relationship with his kids. Over the years, the daughter now 20 has parroted her mother - only and always pointing out what he DOESN'T do as a father and never what he DOES do. Several times has asked the 16 yr old if he has a problem with him as a dad-kid says no, but mother insists they have no relationship. We live in a different state, so that is hard.But when we did live in the same state, he was an awesome dad and has tried to continue that best he can by long distance. This last week I have been introduced to Parental Alienation Syndrome- absolute jaw dropping similiarites and exact quotes of this ex. My main question is for 15 years, she sends pictures of the kids to my husband and ALWAYS manages to stick one or two of herself with them in there. It has become such a joke in this house -I almost feel embarrassed for the idiot. I would love to figure out something to just make her feels SO stupid for doing this, but don't know what or how without her thinking I'm jealous - which I'm not - just wouldn't want her to have the satisfaction of whatever it is she's doing. My sister suggested sending a Curves certificate with a note saying looks like she could use it. Any ideas? I told my husband, she's giving us normal ex-wives a bad reputation-lol

That's her way of marking her territory:  "15 years, she sends pictures of the kids to my husband and ALWAYS manages to stick one or two of herself with them in there."  She does that for the same reason my puppy always pisses twice on the post closest to our home--she wants to make sure all the other dogs know she is the top dog around, and the best way to do that is make your smell the strongest.  She wants to get in his face and yours too and rub it in.

Sounds primitive, but true.  However, if you bring that up to her (or DH) she'll just say that she simply wants to give him nice pictures of the kids, and she just happens to be in one or two.  You'll be considered a jealous, Evil SM of course, for even bringing it up.

Am I the only one who reads that list and thinks how incredibly stupid any woman must be who would put up with that shiatsu!?  I mean, only one of those items on the list is way more than any woman should be expected to put up with just for the sake of marrying some man, whom you may happen to love beyond belief but even at that is it worth it?  My hand is raised too!!  I did so just like everyone else.  God, how snowballed we all were.  You have BM running around doing all of the above, and we, as SMs are told, "Just be nice to the kids and it'll all work out."   (Insert demonic laugh.)

All you can do 5, 10, 15, 20+ years down the road is disengage and laugh, truly.  That's another reason to disengage, I guess.  It's putting society's idea of a bad joke back on them.

Is to run away from all that. You'll have to put up with it FOREVER...
