BM needs to back off!

BM needs to back off! Her current husband is out of town again and she is getting close to DH’s family again and trying to hang out with DH at SS’s games. 

So this weekend is our weekend to have my husband’s 2 kids. We pick them up Friday and everything is quick and simple. Saturday, SS7 has a game and SS10 has a game. Everything was going great until we realize BM didn’t pack several things they need in order to play, such as glasses, a belt, a hat, and socks. DH is super annoyed by this but we move forward and head to the first game. We get there and sit down and everything is fine until... yep you guessed it, BM arrives. She gets there and is wearing short shorts and a hoochie top. Okay, then she fails to bring the items that the kids need. I go and sit down. Next game begins, so we now have to walk back and forth. As we do this BM also does this and follows us as we go back and forth. We notice but try to ignore. After the game, she follows us as we all walk to our car and talks to kids. I get it but it’s our weekend. Sunday, (Now this gets interesting!) kids have two games. I miss the start bc I’m with my mom, so we meet DH at the game. We meet him and walk over to where DH places my chair and things and guess who is standing there. Yep, BM in hoochie shorts and top. This made my mother feel very uncomfortable. I told my mother, “It’s ok, come have a seat! This is my chair!” I looked for my husband who decided to walk off. I said, “why aren’t you over here babe watching the game?” I read his face and laughed and said, “babe it’s okay! Come over here and watch the game!” He didn’t want to come over. I turned to BM, “Where’s your husband? Is he here?” She said,”no.” I asked, “what about your mom? Is she here?” She said, “no.” Then DH came over and stood between me and my mother. I began to video the game and then the fans aka everyone around. Finally, BM left and didn’t come back. Next, we all went to lunch. After lunch we went to the next game. DH placed down my chair and all our things and began playing with SS7 while SS10 got ready for game. I was sitting and watching DH and SS play and I hear someone say, “hey guys!” And I turn my head and see DH’s sister walking up with BM. Yep! That’s right. I said, “hello! So good to see you!” Then, they both went to sit down away from us. (Thank God!) As soon as they walk away DH says out loud, “wow! Really?” I said , “babe, I told you that you can’t trust your sister right now. She is not on your side.” After seeing it for his own eyes, he believes me now. I don’t know why his sister has sided with crazy BM except for the fact that she is very dramatic and loves drama. Anyways, during the game everything is great and me, DH, and SS play and watch game. After the game, DH’s sister walks over and I ask her, “Are you and BM best friends now?” She replies loudly, “What, am I not allowed to be friends with her??” I calmly said, “I didn’t say that.” She said, “ well she invited me to the game, so I came!” I said,”well I was just wondering because you never called me or your brother.” She said, “well y’all never invited me.” We didn’t speak to each other after this. DH didn’t say anything after this either. As we walk to the car, DH says, “I can’t believe all the s*** that happened today. I can’t wait for deer season so I don’t have to deal with all this!” I said, “me too! I’m right there with you!” BM can’t follow us to the deer stand. Haha Thank God! That is a blessing.

It has been exhausting being in our shoes. I’m sure others have it worse, but still we are just so fed up and feel trapped. I feel bad that DH can’t even trust his own family members right now. Poor hubby.

We had a similar experience except that BM hates DH and is abusive to him, but still tries to convince him that if he doesn't sit with her at games, then it will ruin their children's lives. 

BM used to plop herself down next to DH and proceed to either insult him or demand more money from him (on more than on occassion she demanded that he pay his child support early, at the game). SSs would comment on "I wish mom wouldn't yell at you at the games" and "why is mom always so angry with you?" But BM would still scream and cry behind the scenes that it was "hurting the children" if they didn't sit together. 

The worst is when DH's family goes. DH's mother always has to seek BM out and speak to her. This year, MIL went to a game with BM instead of with DH. DH's brother is the same. I tell DH the same thing - that when it comes to BM, he can't trust his family because they are not on his side. In fact, MIL always tries to get him to "help" BM, even though BM continues to be abusive and alienates the kids from him. 

I don't go anymore, because I can't stand the drama, which bothers DH, but it triggers me to be around BM and here juvenile behavior, so it's better for al of us.

wow! I can definitely relate to you. It’s really sad that the in-laws won’t cut ties. I mean she is no longer apart of the family. The CS is all they really want and to cause drama. Where is BM’s husband? Skids say, oh he’s in Florida. So she wants to stand by me, DH, and my family at the games and then invite and call dh’s Family while we are at the game. She has family, why doesn’t she call them? She has friends at the games, why doesn’t she stand or sit by them? DH won’t even talk to her at the field unless it’s about pickup or drop off. I wonder if her husband knows that she does all this and keeps calling her ex husband’s family. It’s just twisted.
