Red Headed Stepmother PLEASE HELP

benavidesrandi's picture

:? I have been with my husband for 9 years and met my stepson when he was only 1.5 years old. I have never really gotten to form a bond with him because of his bio mom having animosity towards me for ruining her relationship with my husband. Although, she is mistaken, I understood the bitterness coming towards me. I have always had one issue or another with my stepsons mother but recently it has taken a turn for the worst. Today I called Texas Nursing Association to file a formal complaint against her because she was lying about being an RN and faxing paperwork over to my job saying that that was her new job title. Normally I don't mind petty stuff like this and I don't let it get under my skin but I find her actions to be disgusting and I feel like I can no longer just sweep these lies under the rug. I am very aware that I sound jealous and insecure but I need some advice quickly please before I blow my mind and lose it Sad

HELP

There are some things that you don't do, that s one of them.

I could have called the irs on my ex for numerous things, but I just wouldn't because that would hurt my kids. This may hurt your husbands kids. I would never call any authorities on my dh's BM as well.

I really hope this doesn't come back to bite you. anyways why would she pass herself off as an RN. What are her real qualifications.

I would be pissed if my husband that to my ex, and I am pretty sure that he would be pissed at me if it hurt her chances to provide for his kids. Or even just did it to be vindictive.

I understand that you would be upset that someone used a designation that you yourself earned. But for the OPs situation it would depend on the details.

If she is let's say that she is a loan processor, and knows that she lied then she could put that it was not verified on the loan.

In the OPs situation this can end up costing her her marriage. Or end up costing her dh and her skids to really resent her. If the op did it even though she wasn't under any obligation to, then her moral convictions could cost her marriage. I don't think she needs to be told to that she deserves a pat on the back. She needs to realize that these actions, if viewed as vindictive could really impact her life.

She really needs to think of what she is going to do next. While I want to tell the op to take responsibity for her actions and tell her dh, unless she wants some major blow black,then don't. I will say that her best option at this point is that if she did this anonymously, then deny, deny, deny.

Bullshit about not reporting illegal crap because "one doesn't do that". That's just a low life trashy attitude. Not really any different than the people who "suddenly didn't see anything" when someone pulls off a murder (all too often of an innocent bystander child).

Now I despise people who report things that are not true at all. But people we are no longer 5 year olds who shouldn't "tattle".

I would report any asshole not paying taxes or lying about having a medical degree/certification.

Is she working as an RN? And why is she faxing stuff to your job?

You sound way to enmeshed with this BM to be honest. My DH's BM is a certifiable loon, but she wouldn't be faxing me at work.
