Re: Crazy ex wife using ex's last name...

I read this and kept shaking my head YES. I totally feel
for you. I have one son and my new husband has 2 kids, a 9
and a 12 year old. When they are with us they are totally
fine. but if she is around they totally hate me and think
that I'm to blame for their moms unhappiness. When we go to
watch the kids at their activities she won't allow the kids
to say hi to us or even make eye contact. His daughter's
friend came and talked to us one time and when she went back
over to the ex-wife she called her 12 year old friend a
traitor. the kids will not talk to me if their mom is
there. It breaks my heart because I love them so much. She
has sent me numerous text and called saying profanity and
cruel things. It's so hard for me to deal with as an
adult...I feel so bad for those poor kids. they have to
change their entire personalities when she's not around. My
husband and i do everything for the kids and have them a lot
he pays her $2,500 a month in alimony and child support (we
are fine paying the $1000 of child support). He didn't get
a lawyer because he just couldn't handle fighting with her
any more. which wasn't smart. He ended up with all the
debt, paying off her car plus, the monthly fee. PLUS they
were only married 2 years and she put 10 in the papers.
they were married before and got divorced, then after a year
remarried only for 2 years. His bad for not looking.
Anyway, my son is doing so well. I know it's because my ex
and I are civil and talk to each other at games etc. it
makes such a HUGE difference when the other parent is
supportive. I wish you luck. I just take it a day at a
time.
