It's been about a year since I last logged in. Some things are better, my hubby and I are doing better with communication and being settled into married life.
Then again, some crap just never changes...the crazy ex.
Today was another example of how dealing with her is a catch 22 and I get screwed either way. She openly made a scene at a school event where my stepkid was attending. She chose to try to tell me off simply b/c I didn't ask her permission to get my skid's awards certificate. My husband and I were there and like always she rushes to the front to try to get any certificates, etc. because it's her kid. It doesn't matter that we never even get a chance to look at these things let alone take them home to our house for our own kids scrap book. The kids live at our house half the time too. But in her mind she is entitled to everything and how dare we assume otherwise.
So, she makes a big scene and starts to argue with me in front of my skid, husband and the other parents at the reception. I should've just walked a way from her trashy portrayal of being the victim to the "evil stepmom" but instead I tried to get an idiot to stop making a scene and calm down.
So, my catch22 is that either I can avoid her at these functions and wait until she is done taking all her pics and snaggin all the kids awards/mementos. Or I can risk facing these ridiculous outbursts at events by doing what I want to do and not walking on eggshells around her.
So, what do I? I decided to tell her what I think of her. Not in person of course. She avoids me at all costs, won't answer the phone and obviously looks at opportunities to make scenes in public regardless of where we are at. I sent her an e-mail telling her how stupid she made herself look and how she embarrassed her own kid at an important event simply b/c she can't be around me without being a total idiot.
I doubt this will lead to any reconciliation or future friendships but after five years of dealing with that bitch, I really don't care.
Thanks for letting me vent.
