New Here - BM is wild and crazy - IT HAS GOTTEN OLD - already.....!
I am new to posting on this website. I have been lurking around for a couple weeks now. Finally, decided to join you all. I fit right in with the crazy BM drama. It is just outrageous.
Well, a little about my situation. I had been dating H for about 3 years, and have been involved with his daughter for over 2. She (SD5) has been coming to my home - involved in activities with me and my daughter (BD13) for a couple years now. But we never met the BM.
Fast forward we decided to get married this year. So i sold my house, he bought one and moved in. In June, we all (Husband, Myself, BD13) went to SD5 dance recital and pre-school graduation. I went so that she could meet us and know who was living in the home from July on out when her daughter came to visit. We took her to dinner and attended the graduation. Needless to say - she did not act as a mature adult - even her friends had to tell her "Not to Hate."
It has been hell since that time.
First, my husband purchased his home in March - she took him for more child support - which was denied.
Second, the next weekend after meeting her - she claimed i was abusing her daughter and being mean to her.
Third - He went to court so that they could meet at an point for pick up and drop offs now that he get her much later in the day 630pm and requested 6 weeks visitation time in the summer. Well the judge and everyone else agreed. BUT now the BM has decided she no longer agrees and it really out for blood.
Fourth - Since he got what he wanted in court - She has now taken the child to a psychologist and is saying she (sd5) is having nightmares before and after her visits here. Needless to say - she also told this 5 year old child that she doesn't like me because of my face. She aslo told her - i am mean to her and is trying to get her to say those things to the counselor. Ask me how i know. The little girl asked why would her mommi tell her things like that and they are not true......... hum - same question i ask.
Fifth - Now she is signing her up for activities that interfere with DH visitation and gets mad when he still wants to exercise his visits.
Sixth - She no longer drives to the pickup points - why i am not sure.
So, as you can tell in 4 months of marriage i am at my wits end. I have told DH he needs to handle all of this in court. She has done so much stuff in contempt of the court order - joint custody - from banning him from the daycare, taking out a false protective order that the judge dropped, lying about prescriptions, lying about needs for the child, no insurance card, no medications coming. Just blatant craziness. 5 straight years of craziness. She now wants him to keep daughter to himself for visits. Me, my daughter, his mother and sister, can not be around at any time. He can not put her in daycare, he can not have anyone around at any time - unless she authorizes it.
So, i have decided to still love my sd like my own. I will not let her mom mess up the loving enviornment we have created with both of our kids (his and mine). I told him it is not okay for her (Bitchmom -BM) to attack family so he needs to handle it in court.
I am so anxious to see how she likes it at that time - when she has to face the music for her actions - in a couple months.
Anways I know this email is long - but it felt soooooo good to get it off of my chest - without getting upset and actually having someone to listen to me that is biased.

wow! welcome
i know what its like to have a crazy BM on ur hands...ours accused me of abuse, banned me AND DH from daycare, etc. i know exactly how u feel.
my suggestion would be that DH DOES need an attorney...she cannot sign up the kid for activites that interfere w visiation unless he agrees. does he have joint custody? if so, NONE of the shit she is pulling will fly. take HER back to court for contempt. no judge will let her get away w all of this.
good luck to u and ur hubby...hang in there and vent away! u will need it!

WOW......welcome
to the club..... we ALL have crazy BM's and could all likely tell you stories that would make your head spin! I agree with crayon....the PAS has started, and DH needs to get this under control now before it's too late! Also, if you haven't already....document, document, document....I can't say it enough. Any little stupid thing she does, write it in a journal....right down to the times she calls your house and how long the conversations were. If I had started documenting earlier in skids lives, we would have ended up w/custody long before we actually did.....
I know how you feel!
I have a BM who has attacked me in public at the skids school in front of the skids and school counselor... threw a chair across the room at me b/c I dared to go to HER children's open house. Then swore at me worse than a trucker again in front of the skids.
It totally sucks. all I can say is that it is not forever, at least that is what keeps me going.
Welcome to the Club
This is,unfortunately, a club that it SUCKS to be in:
The ''I Have to Deal with a Crazy F'd-Up BM for the Rest of my Life'' Club
And the cost of the dues are your sanity!
Sorry you have to join us. But we're a pretty nice bunch. And you can feel free to say ANYTHING here without being judged. And it does help.
The posters above were indeed correct with their advice:
*document EVERYTHING (date/time/place/event)
*get a pit bull attorney
Good luck

Welcome to our humble home!
What a story to start off on.
The girls above pretty much said everything that I was going to say. Like 5Teens said, document everything, that is the most important thing you need to do. Keep e-mails, record phone calls if you can and save any text messages, these are all important.
This site is great, you will have a laugh when you never thought you would even crack a smile, all these smart woman and men have some fantastic advice to use and it's just great to make friends and vent away.
Good luck hun, look forward to reading your crazy BM stories.
Thanks Ladies
Yeah, my DH has a binder of 5 years of information on her... .different crap she has pulled on him. Now she is getting crazy with it - The only reason i can come up with is becuase i am new (to her i am new) in this situation.
We make sure we have saved everything. We have a appointment with a lawyer today to get a plan of action ready - basically before sd finishes her counseling sessions..... I so wish they did not have to fight in court about these simple things. Geez!
Oh yeah did i mention that - she signed her up for counseling because of nightmares caused by me. LOL. We have tapes of our visits where we are putting up the christmas tree and other activities - uh no one looks scared there.
It is just so utterly sad this BM has to go to these levels. I would have rather been able to just at least tolerate each other for sd's sake. Hell, we don't have to love each other or like each other. Just tolerate each other - so sd still feels comfortable.
But she goes and tells her not to like me and that i am mean. Basically teaching her it is okay to lie if her mommi says so. I just dont get it.
Sometimes all i can do is smile to keep from getting so upset at the lows she (BM) has gone to. I was so surprised at all the stuff she has done to DH and his family - that i just knew i would be next. AND i am. The good thing about it is this - even though when we go to court - it will be a sad day in my opinion....... He has enough evidence to bury her.... But it should not even be this way.
Box the crazy ones up & send

Forgot to Answer the Questions Asked
Yeah he has joint custody, every other weekend visitation, thanksgiving every other year, day after christmas to school starts every year. AND now 6 weeks in the summer.
He pays his child support on time every month, and decided to move closer to where the mother lives to cut down on travel.
He was 5 1/2 hours away from her and is now 3 hours. So it really helps him with his drives out alot.
He has never missed visitation or a child support payment.
Which is why i don't understand why she (BM) has such a hard time just acting civilized. It is almost as if she wishes he was a deadbeat dad.
they are never satisfied
the truly crazy ones are never happy...if they loved their kids like they say they do, they wouldnt pull all this shit when the dads are just trying to do the rite thing. they cant see past their own hate that the dad didnt stay w them, and its especially bad if hes moved on to have a marriage and kids w someone else.
