Hello, I'm new here 22F dating 33M who has two kids 12M and 13F. BM 45F is insane. She is manipulative and will call my partner just screaming her head off still to this day and he has to hang up on her. There was no divorce he never married her and left two years ago him and I got together 4 months after he left (third time he left BM). We live together and I feel like I'm getting the shortest end of the stick in the world.

It has been almost a month since I posted here.  Last time I posted was to let you know that my exF had asked me to marry him, but only if we did not live together. I said no to that. Then he blocked me via text (I never reached out anyway so weird move) but said feel free to email him (I have not.)  Then silence for two weeks until he sent me an email wishing me a happy birthday at the end of May.  I did not respond. 

The legal battle continues over the house as we try to come to an agreement on an amount for me to "buy him out."  It is nearing a close.  

My wife's son is extremely cold and distant from her. The major issue is our relationship. When I was 19, I met wife at college. She was 35 and a nontraditional student. She never got a chance to go to college cause she had her son at 18.  I actually went to high school with her son. We probably had some common friend since I saw him at a party once during high school.

We are in the process of filling out forms for SS11's high school. One of the forms has asked for 3 emergency contacts apart from DH and BM.  So who should these 3 contacts be?  In addition to the grandparents, my DH and I would like to put my name down, but not sure how this would be viewed in the eyes of BM.
