Im so glad I found this site, Ive been needing something like this. Ive dealt with my Husbands ex-wife for far too long. This is absolutely, the hardest thing i have ever done in my life. This is my first time being a Step-Parent, and dealing with an Ex. Im also an Ex-Wife, but I get along great with my ex husbands wife, she is awesome, and she loves my kids. I got really lucky in that aspect. I also respect her, for what she does. Thats something I dont get from my husbands ex. She doesnt see me as a good person or a great step mom, she sees me as an enemy. Now I see her as the same. I have never ever met anyone like her, she is truely evil, and very jealous, its so pathetic. I didnt start out hateing her, she made me hate her. She finds fault in everything I do, no matter what. Why cant she just see that I love her child, and treat him as my own when he is here? She doesnt have to like me, she just has to respect me. She doesnt respect herself, so i guess Im asking too much. I really believe in Karma, and one day, she will get hers. I take great comfort in knowing that no one else likes her either. I really kind of feel sorry for her, she must be a miserable person inside, to cause so much pain for others. All I can do is continue to be myself, and do whats good for all parties concerned. Im a happy person all of the time, and I refuse to let her get to me anymore. What a huge burden was lifted from me, when i took that step!! Shes remarried now, and also makes his ex miserable. She just cant get along with anyone, except a few choice people that dont mean anything to anyone else either. I wish i knew more on how jealous people think, so i can see why she is, the way she is. Maybe I should research that more?? LOL.

Hey, welcome... I know that Jealousy plays a huge role on how they are to you. It's evil & unhealthy. Just keep up your good spirits and don't let someone like that get in the way of your happiness, it's not worth your time. I would just ignore her completely. Maybe she is just unhappy about her whole life situation and takes it out on other people. I know people like that & I stay far away as I could and don't even bother. Don't stoop down to her level. Focus on your marriage and family, that's the most important thing. You absolutely need your husband's love & support when it comes to hard times w/his ex. I can't believe she is still bitter even after remarrying....usually they become nicer...but I guess wrong.

My BF and I did research his X's behavior...(they sound similar) We came up with Narcisistic Personality Disorder...or borderline NPD. She has seen a "shrink" for many years..and has been diagnosed with "depression"..but we think that is only one of the "symptoms" she exibits and there that there is really much more to her mental issues.

You commented that you thought that your husband's ex might settle down and get nicer when she remarried. My husband's ex actually "settled down" a bit after my husband and I got separate houses and unblended for now. So for her I don't think it was the fact that she was alone was the issue, I think it was that her ex was happy. Either deep down she regretted their divorce or she didn't want him but didn't want him to be happy with anyone else either.

When my stepsons mom married (I don't really refer to her as the ex becasue they never had a relationship, it was a one night stand) Anyways, when she got married, she did get nicer. BUT... then things got rocky in her marriage and they divorced. I think that she was angry that our marrigage is still going strong and she is by herself. I pray that she finds someone again... When shes not happy she goes out of her way to make us not happy! We just smile and go about our business the best we can!

Jealousy is horrible!! We recently were awarded shared parenting of my husbands children (2 from a previous marriage). She is going through another divorce, her husband just moved out a couple of months ago (they have a child together also). She has already introduced her children to her new boyfriend! Bless their hearts! We have the 2 kids from Wednesday through Sunday every other week. My Mother-in-law picks them up from school on those days. Well I leave work at 3:45 so I was going to pick them up from my mother-in-law after work and come home until my husband gets off work. Well she says I don't need to so during our visitation she picks them up from my Mother-in-law and takes them to my Husband. Go figure!!! This is nothing compared to everything else that has happened over the last seven years. I can't take much more, but we have the most precious 2 year old. This is my first marriage so I came with no baggage.
