So... SS saw BM a few days before Christmas.

I was up in my room last week minding my own business, and there is a little knock on my door. I open it to see SS standing there looking a little off kilter. I asked him if he was ok and he asked if I could talk. So we sat on the bed and he starts to tell me that he feels bad not seeing his mom for Christmas. I told him if he wanted to see her it was perfectly fine, but we need to talk to her dad (Gpa D we will call him) to see if he can help arrange that. He didn't cry but he was obviously hesitant and not 100% sure of his decision. Basically I told him that nothing bad would happen if GPa D was with him. And he could test the waters on seeing her and see if it's something he wants or not.

So,I call GPa D and he agrees to take SS out there to her place on the 22nd. So, SS texts her. No joke this is what he said to her. I totally don't like the disrespect, but I also don't want to get involved, so I let it be.

SS- I have decided to allow you to see me for Christmas. BUT, NO NONSTOP PICS and you can't give me any crap.
(He HATES it when she plays MOTY on social media, and he doesn't want her talking crap about DH and I..)
BM- DEAL!!!!

So, Gpa D picks him up and takes him out to her "ranch" (as she calls it). They pick her up and Gpa D takes them to lunch and then they go back to her ranch for about an hour. SS got to see his (her) dogs for a while. And open the gifts she bought him.

She didn't take any pictures and she didn't "give him any crap". She posted a picture of the wrapped gifts she bought him, and said he loved them. He did. She got him a flannel (which he washed and dried, yes himself, and it shrunk so it doesn't fit him) and a pocket knife, which he rewrapped and gave to her brother (her mom and brother took him to breakfast on Christmas eve).

Since then, she has been blowing up his phone. He was responding for the most part (text messages) until she mentioned MethMan, then he want back to ignore mode. She just doesn't get it. She wanted to stop by our house on Christmas Eve, which he promptly told her NO, we have company (we did). So she started texting DH asking when is a good time for her to come by. He said, never. Unless your dad is here. Which is in the court orders so....

Now he has completely stopped responding to her and she is texting DH saying "I don't understand why he won't talk to me now, we had a good visit, geeeee... I WONDER who is putting stuff in his head about me... HMMMMM". She is insinuating that it is me. That's fine. She can think that. I don't care. He knows the truth and so do we, so I am not concerned at all. If she would pull her head out she would realize that every time she brings up MethMan he stops talking to her. I figured it out on my own, maybe some day she will too. Oh well. She has seen him twice for a few hours each since the start of June. I can live with that. And I haven't even had to see her or deal with her AT ALL.

She has always lashed out at me. Even before she was a user. WAYYYYYY back in the day when she thought DH still loved her. If he told her something she didn't like to hear, I must have put him up to it. She even used to put love notes in SS's diaper bag that went back and forth from day care that said "I know SHE is the reason you are acting this way, you still love me, I know you always will". Ummm.... 12 years later, he STILL doesn't love you. Freak.

Yeah, I worry about how this will affect his other relationships, but he doesn't seem to do it to anyone else. He is very respectful of people. I hope that continues.

Did he like the gifts? You said he re-gifted one? I mean I guess that's better than tossing it. Maybe your DH should have responded to BMs dumb texts like "mmmh MAYBE he started ignoring you because you just had to mention MethHead to him? I know she doesn't deserve a response and you don't care that she blames you but I find it extremely annoying you'll be her forever scapegoat.

He hung one on his wall. It was a metal emblem for his football team. He liked the shirt, but it shrunk. And the knife he did regift. But, he is just a sweet kid like that. He also regifted the picture from with some saying about "family" she gave him for his bday to his gramma for christmas. This is her brother and her mom, so she will find out eventually.

She's a loser and a user. Calling her out on ANYTHING anymore is only a waste of energy.

I hadn't told DH about him ignoring her after she mentions meth man until last night. I'm gonna let him think about that one for a few days. Then I'll see how he feels we should handle it. Part of me agrees with you, but part of me is also so frustrated with her that I am ok with her digging her own grave. And super happy that SS is wise enough to know where he wants his boundaries and enforces them.
