Anyone have to deal with a crazy ex-wife?
Things have been going very well with D and really the only stressor comes occasionally from the ex-wife. She's very manipulative and controlling, especially when it comes to their two daughters. She attacks his character and mine, trying to pit the girls against us. We think she's a sociopath and my therapist agrees.
Fortunately, he has a strong relationship with the girls and they kind of see what she's like (her son hates her and wants nothing to do with her even though D tries to foster a relationship between the two. He lives with D).
I've taken the hi-road and refuse to engage in the crazy (even when she sends me an email and I've blocked her number) and he does for the most part until she really flies off the handle.
Can anyone commiserate with me?
Re: Anyone have to deal with a crazy ex-wife?
I haven't had to deal much with L's XW directly. I just have to listen to him *** about her. From what I've heard through L's family and friends, he is justified in his concerns.
She seems to want nothing to do with me, which kind of boggles my mind. As a parent, wouldn't you want to get to know the person who's hanging around your kid a little?
This is a good question. However, as a Mom, my feelings right now are no. I want nothing to do with Ex's new GF. I have no idea if he even has one right now. He brought so much drama and crazy to my life that I don't want to engage anymore. At all. Also, there is nothing I can do to control who he brings around DD. No matter what my opinion, he can do what he pleases. So I see no reason to get in involved in his future relationships.
Oh yeah, I am convinced she is a sociopath. For a good 5 months she referred to me as the b**tch to her son. After 9 months of the visitation, she just told her attorney that SO is not producing their son for visits, but she cannot come up with any examples or evidence to this. This only came about after she took him away for the weekend to another state and refused to tell SO the whereabouts, telephone #, nothing. He went right to the courts and she said it was a holiday celebration, not a vacation so she can do whatever she pleases. She is a habitual liar to everyone and her son HATES having to see her on her visitation days and always asks his dad to have the visitation changed. She just creates drama where its not even necessary, I guess she is unhappy in her life.
I have nothing to do with her. When I do see her, I don't even acknowledge her existence.

I did-- there aren't kids involved, so there's no reason she and I need to interact, but whenever she got the chance, she'd say something stupid or make a shot at my bf on facebook.
Then we both blocked the b*tch.
I'm sorry you have to deal with that. You have my sympathy.
