Here's how it played out

Ss14 was out of school at noon yesterday. We picked him up. About three hours later, BM started texting DH, "no one told me ss got out early... I guess I can't trust him to tell me his schedule...I'm calling the police ..."

DH texted back once stating thst SS was with him, we were busy now and that she could call later to discuss getting him tomorrow. She spent another 30 minutes texting, threatening to call the police of DH didnt tell her right then when he'd meet her tomorrow. DH sent one final text saying to make sure to tell the police she was three hours late.

So far this morning we haven't heard from her.

Oh I completely agree. Do i feel sorry for her? Nope.

DH didnt want to mention the stalker cuz then she would get mad at ss for telling her secret, choosing DH over her, etc.

I definitely see your point here. It's very difficult to be upfront with bm as she is extremely combative. When SS asked her about spemding Halloween with this friends she told him she'd call the police ON HIM.

Sometimes it's just easier to let her eff it up on her own. We were 80% sure that she didn't know about school letting out (even though it's in website and has been posted on the school calendar). I'd asked SS to remind his mom prior to his calls with him this week but she was too engrossed In Telling him that she had a stalker or that she'd call the police.

I don't think you're being preachy. It's all very solid advice / input. I usually try to steer DH and ss into being honest, etc.

Thus time we took the easy way out.

This "mom" knows nothing about her son. She left when he was 5 and just started visitatuon once I came into the picture.

She hasn't attended a game of his, a play, his graduation. Nothing.

I don't even think she's walked into the school to get papers. (I know this because when ExH and sm requested forms from the office, the school called me to make sure it was ok since I emrolled the kids). They also are aware of the situation with bm so I know they would have mentioned it.

Honestly, I'm sure she's relieved that she could go out and party this weekend

And for the record, it's now noon and we haven't heard from her. I did think she'd at least call, demand DH meet her half way and when he refused, she'd say something along the lines of DH being a bad parent.
