I never thought that I would say it,

I'm so sorry y'all have to go through this.  We had an ex-wife in the picture, too.  We had custody and she didn't even have visitation (for lots of good reasons) but she STILL managed (and sometimes still manages even though they're in their 30s!) to make our lives miserable.  How old are the kids involved?

You sound like such and angel, instead of just hating her I would have had her killed by now!

Let her talk all the smack she wants, in the end it will bite her in the butt! Kill her with kindness and then use her own smack against her and take her kids!

, aimee, i feel the same way here with my husband's ex. would you believe that she is blaming my husband for the death of her mother! she reasons that because she and my husband separated, she had to entrust her kids to her mother which led to her death.. totally insane!

[zimkandace]

Oh, Aimee I am sorry to hear you are going through this.  I can't imagine dealing with another woman.

i was surprised that i used the  emoticon! tsk, tsk...

I guess we'll start with the 5 yr old, and if it ends up that we need to take the other ones we will.  I will sacrifice anything for those kids....They've been thru so much!  None of the extended family is even "grown up" enough to take the other kids-so they'd be put in foster care. ughhhh

That sounds just really awful, Aimee.  It tears my heart out to hear about a selfish 'adult' using her children that way.

Do you think you'll be able to get custody?
I've heard that keeping written records of everything can help, would that be right?

[Linda]

I'm so sorry, Aimee.  It will come back to bite her in the  you know what... kids figure these things out.  When your step daughter realizes she was kept from her father, she will know who to blame...and she will find out.  She doesn't realize how much damage she is causing.

Aimee, that completely sucks.  I'm sure you know the drill -- document, document, document.  You can't see stepdaughter because of the croup, okay, that's reasonable, did the kid go to the doc and get meds? That kind of thing....  I hate these tugs of war between adults over kids.  The adult doing the tugging either doesn't realize or doesn't care that the one really getting hurt isn't the other adult but the kids....

What a beeotch.

I guess all you can do is lay down the law with her or deal with it? I've never had to go through it but I'm sorry you're going through it.

Hi Aimee,
      I cannot stand my hubby's ex wife either!  I agree with Linda, it will come back to bite her.  This will bring a smile to your face!  My hubby's ex left him as soon as she found out she was pregnant, she didn't even tell him (all she wanted out of their marriage was a child).  Anyway last year she found out she was pregnant again.  Right after she found out, her boyfriend told her he was gay and broke up with her!  How's that for KARMA!!!  HAHA!

Hi Aimee,
I'm so sorry you have to go through this.

My daughter is with her dad right now. (she goes all summer). It is hard on me, but I know she needs her time with him too. I call once or twice a week and send her letters. It's super hard - but I keep my distance. It's best for her.

I'm sorry that the ex from hell doesn't put her child first. I hope you get custody and she does grow up. Unfortunately that might not happen (her growing up )

But keep fighting the good fight!

  Aimee, its apprarent that she MUST have some mental issues, she seems to be very much self-seeking and jealous.. don't give in honey..we must choose and pick our battles and this is defintely one to pick and pursue it with all you got!! i'm here if you need to vent some more!!! good luck sweetie. 

[Linda]

Aimee, sounds like she need a little Dr. Phil or something.  You keep doing what you are doing for her and hopefully you can get custody and have a little more control over the craziness.

Aimee,

Have you guys talked to an attorney to see if you can do anything?
