BM's DH was murdered yesterday

DH called me from work and told me that he spoke with BM. He said her first name, so I knew something was up. Because he usually refers to her as SS's mother. And he had some bad news. I thought that maybe SS was in the hospital again. I wasn't prepared for what he told me. He told me that BM's DH was MURDERED. I was like what???? Murdered?? WTH happened. He said he didn't know that BM called him as she was hysterical and she told him that her DH was dead.

Well, after a couple of hours we got a clearer picture of what happened. BM lives in the central part of the state and her DH couldn't find a job in that area so he moved to the northern part of the state (about 4 hrs away from BM) to find work. He was renting a room in a house in a not so great neighborhood. At 5:40 am Monday someone knocked on the back door he opened and he was shot 3 times in the chest. He died at the scene. His roommate was also shot. He is in critical condition. We don't know the motive. There wasn't a robbery or anything. Just a senseless killing.

BM and her DH have a young son around 2. This is all so very sad and tragic. We are all still in shock.

As sad as this situation is, BM is still a snake. So she called DH as was asking for money to help get the body transported back to BM's city!!! I feel very bad for her, but really BM?!??!?! It is not my husband's responsibility to pay for your husbands final expenses. UGH!!! And of course DH puts on his superman cape and saves the day and gives her $$$$ towards the bill. (Without discussing it with me first)Because he feels bad.

I'm going to be honest. I feel really bad for BM. But I'm pissed at DH. Why does he always feel the need to rescue her? She has family, her husband has family, they should be responsible for his final expenses not DH.

Of course I can't say anything because I will look like a cold hearted b$%#h.

I did pray for BM and her DH's family last night. It was one of the hardest prayers I ever had to make. I will continue to pray for them because this so sad.

I can't imagine how all of you are coping! Your DH did the noble thing, however wrong it was for him not to talk to you first. You are right, it is not your job to pay for her DH's final expenses. Right now just thank God that SS was not there living with her DH and he is safe. To me that would be worth the price. Prayers for everyone!

I'd probably leave my dh if he rescued his ex in any way, death of her dh or not. why in the world is she running to the open arms of your dh? i'd wait until things settled down a bit, but i'd tell my dh that if he EVER did anything like that again, he could just move in with bm and be her support system all the time because I will not share you with her. it's obvious there's been open lines of communication and appropriate boundaries have not been drawn because your dh should be the last person she contacted in an emergency situation and taking money from him should never have crossed her mind. she should have developed other support systems by now. and, ask him how he'd feel if you did the same with your ex.

Ok, thanks. I was thinking that I'm a bitch for being mad that he's helping her. Yes, where is her support system? DH is not her support system. WTF is wrong with these people? Especially my DH? I don't get it. I don't want to seem selfish in such a tragic situation, but really his only concern should be SS6 and how he is coping. We could have used that money to get SS some counseling. SS has to be hurting he really loved his step dad.

Tragic event, BM uses it to take advantage. Sound familiar?

And your DH fell for it. I would be pissed.

He may have done this thinking bm might lose it on/near ss if he didn't. That said, he should've discussed it with you first.

My thoughts and prayers go out to bm and especially her kids.

I guess this is what a lot of people think...young black man killed, it HAS to be a drug deal gone wrong. At first I did not think this was the case and was honestly offended by suggestions that it was. But upon hearing the news reports and that the surviving victim changed his story about what exactly happened makes me very skeptical. There are a lot of unanswered questions. But thank God, they finally do have a suspect. I hope they catch him soon.

Amen Ladyface! That's exactly what I thought. Bella, if he already gave her the money I guess it's a done deal, but FYI you might want to let BM know that a lot of cities have a death benefit for the families of murder victims. My city gives $10,000. Not sure if it's for everyone or just low income.

Get ready for BM to be leaning on your DH a lot more now... The money he already gave is a done deal, but I'd be worried about the months ahead. Sorry for you and your SS.

This is my fear. I know that she will try to lean on DH even more. It's just a matter of time. And I'm sure he will be happy to be there for her. UGH!

I would let him know right now that he will not be her shoulder to cry on or her leaning post.
