I now know why ET hated (hates?) me...

OSS spilled the tea (actually, lots of tea that I won't be discussing, but this has to do with me and is insane so I'm sharing).

ET started hating me back in the day because I tried parenting her kids. Seems reasonable.

What was the great offense I committed? I was telling DH about some stuff that happened in a movie so he could decide if it was too adult for YSS (who was 9 or 10 at the time) to watch.

Yep. Trying to give Dad some info so he can make an informed decision was me "parenting". I didn't decide if we saw it. If I were the decision-maker, YSS wouldn't have seen it that young. We ended up seeing it, though, because DH was cool with it.

But yes, that branded me a domestic terrorist or whatever bad guy imagery HCBMs use to portray us. If she was going to hate me, I wish she would have ACTUALLY chosen a time I overstepped (because I was young, dumb, and inexperienced so it happened).

For the uninitiated, ET pushed her XH#2 as "Daddy" and forced the boys to call him that (or I assume forced them to because some additional tea was spilled about how they never liked him). So replacing Dad with new DH that you cheated on Dad with = fine, but Dad's new GF telling him about scenes in a movie so he can make an informed decision = She-Demon from the depths of Hades. Solid logic.

Bonus story from DH: ET was SUPREMELY jealous when she found out I existed. Apparently ET was unhappy that DH didn't tell her that I existed before telling the boys. She also wanted to know if I was serious to him.

His response? "Well, I never introduced them to the others, so yeah. This isn't going to be a problem, right? Good."

Apparently that took the wind out of ET's sails.

Man, tea is delicious...

BM here was jealous too when

BM here was jealous too when she found out we were serious. She said she thought he'd date me for a while and then realize that what she and he had was "magic". *crazy* I'm not sure which part was more magical, the affairs she had, or when she threatened to kick him out of the house and have him deported.

Anyway - when we'd been dating about a year, he was in the hospital and very ill. BM showed up and told him she had taken the day off to spend with him. He told her politely to leave, because I was coming up. She left, and that was the beginning of the spiral into all the fun times with alienation, court, etc.

Beaver was so jealous her fur turned green

she told DH I was just the "flavor" of the month. 168 months later I'm still here. Then she told him when she found out about me...that she and DH should start "dating" again to see if they could make it work.

Dh told her no to the dating thing...and enter Halo....the whore and a direct descendant from Satan himself. OH and I'm DH's sugar mamma...

Girhippo was DOUBLY Jealous

because I am almost 12 years OLDER than she. I'm eight years older than Chef. Usually men go for YOUNGER women to date. I've seen postings of the Girhippo of late and she has not aged well.

And yes there was an immense double standard when she started dating and wanting every day of the week "dad" to babysit the three ferals and call them "dad."

Same Same...

I'm 4 years older than DH and 5 years older than Beaver. She looks like she is 10 years older than me....she did not age well at all. I on the other hand...still look like I'm in my 30's.....and I'm not even close.

My parents would get proofed

Well into their thirties when the drinking age was 18. I inherited that.

Well, that makes perfect

Well, that makes perfect sense. How dare you tell your DH about scenes in a movie? It's no wonder ET hates you.

Some of these women are just batshit crazy. There are certainly things about BM here that bug me, but I thank goodness that she's sane and not suffering from any personality disorders. She's also not jealous of me - I guess it helps that she didn't want DH (she cheated and left) and doesn't consider him a loss.
