Do as I say - not as I do???

DH picked up SS8 last night for an extended weekend, and SS mentioned that he and BM had gone to visit a "friend" (more like FWB) of BM's out of state. This is interesting, because according to the CO - BM and DH need to have written consent to take SS out of state.

In the past, BM has made DH literally jump through hoops to get her consent to take SS on our vacations, but this biotch thinks that she's above the law, and can just take SS where ever and when ever she pleases.

DH hasn't said anything to her yet, he's trying to decide what to do/say. I don't think anything he says to her will matter. She seriously thinks that she's above the law, and rules apply to everyone else, not her.

Can anyone tell me why some BM's are like this?? ARGH...

Some BMs have to have complete control because it makes them feel important. Our BM is this way, too. She tells us what we can & can't do, yet she does whatever she damn well pleases. God forbid we ever question something she does...that's not allowed.

BM also projects on us a lot. She accuses us doing the exact same things that she's doing, when in reality we're not doing these things & she is. My husband recently read an angry email from BM to me from a few months ago. In it, she's saying he's doing this & that, when he's not, she is. It makes me sick hearing this crap! The woman is insane! Definitely lives in her own reality!

Yep, seriously that's it....that they live in their own reality, no matter how deluded it is. They can't see their own faults but are quick to hammer our DHs.

It's just sooooo frustrating.

I would absolutely love to give her a taste of her own medicine just once!! I just have to figure out how to do it without getting caught! lol. }:)

Take her butt to court. I did this with BM after she tormented me for the first year of our marriage. (She's been tormenting DH for 20 years.) I decided to turn the tables around and started enforcing the court orders. She didn't like it much but leaves us alone. Yeah! Don't talk to me anymore. I'll live somehow...
