Needing Advice

So im the wicked step mom. My husband's ex wife is beyond the worst person to work with. My SS7 flies to see us 4 times a year because BM won a court battle to move him away. My current problem is she keeps sending SS7 over for visits with the same picture of SS7, her, and my husband when they were married. This picture just keeps popping up in his backpack, suitcase, and in his wallet. I wouldn't bring this up to her because i don't want to give her the pleasure of knowing it bothers me. I know my step son doesn't care about this picture and half the time doesn't know it's with him. I texted BM before he came that it was cold here and we pick him up and he is wearing swishy pants and a shirt that is too short with a jacket with no hat or gloves. He also comes with a suitcase everytime but he comes with a backpack on this christmas visit. I have a feeling she did this on purpose so he wouldn't have room to take home his christmas gifts. What i want advice on is i want to take that picture and not send it home with him. I'm tired of seeing it and i have a feeling it's her that keeps putting it in his stuff. it's been 3 years now and i'm over it.

Just put the picture in a box to save for your SS, he may want it when he's older. If she keeps sending pictures just put them with the other one. If she says anything tell DH to say he's never seen any picture and doesn't know what she's talking about. You should not be dealing with her at all.

Don't let it bother you. Think about how pathetic she is...our BM is still pining away for my DH and it's been 10 years since they got divorced.

Thank you. I think i will take it and just save it for him. I would never throw it away because i love him and it would be disrespectful to my step son. I just feel she is using him to hurt us. She just got remarried about a yaer ago and he calls his step father dad. He calls me by my first name because i would never take mom away from her. it's just very sad for my step son.

Yea that blows. I mean if he feels comfortable enough with his Step dad to call him dad then that's cool. It's not cool if she makes him call his step dad "dad"

BM and her family tried to make SS call her new husband dad or something similar and he flat out told her "No, I have a dad"

When DH and I got married I told him it was up to him what he wanted to call me. I didn't care as long as it wasn't disrespectful. He usually calls me by my first name, sometimes he calls me by my family's nickname for me.

If BM kept doing that over and over again I would send back a picture of the three of us and her picture would be in shreds. (but not to be too heartless I would scan it first).

I'm scanning all my pictures and throwing away the prints.
