so here is my story... i remarried a guy, with some reservation who has a 8 year old son and a very involved BM. BM lives 2 blocks away in a house they picked out while going through divorce so son can be close to both parents. My husband picks up son everyday from school and BM picks son up at our home after she gets off of work. So i get the irritation of seeing her everyday or I have to arrange to not be in my own home.
