BM is out of control...constant harassment
Hi, I'm new here...and really glad I stumbled across this site. Hopefully someone has some advice that can get us on the right track...
So here's my story. Hubby used to be married and had kids with wife. Far from perfect relationship...met as teens...became teen parents...drugs...violence...you name it. Well, they spent most of their time separated. During a point of separation, Hubby and I met...divorce soon followed. We had a child together and have been inseparable. The only drama we have in life...is the ex.
Once she found out about our child, she re-opened the child support case (hubby was already providing for the kids) and moved out of state. In addition...once she found out my race...racial slurs soon followed...and threats weren't too far behind (a police report was filed because she threatened to kill me). She denies visitation and/or communication. She constantly slammed us with aggressive text messages, voicemails, emails...you name it. She even went as far as to create an imposter profile on a social network and put up our pictures and pointed out our "racial differences"...to keep it nice. She bashed on our baby in the most vulgar ways (he was only a few months old).
Fast forward a few years...and Hubby has been dragged to court many times because she's demanded to know income from both of us...each time she ends up getting less. Hubby is willing to pay more directly to her...but she has proven to be untrustworthy when that route is taken. She says half of what we have is hers should we divorce. Most recently, she created more imposter profiles and posted our pictures and home address. On one profile she put my full legal name and said to "boycott" MY business. She's never been a client of mine...and my clients have never had any issues with me. She's gone on other sites and blasted my Hubby and businesses he's worked for.
She lies in court all day long. We've changed numbers. Blocked emails. The nut always manages to get through. We can't file a restraining order (or so we've been told) because she's out of state. She sends provocative photos and texts of herself to my hubby too.
Hubby has sent money, any requests the kids have made we have fulfilled. We've bought them clothes, gone on vacations/daycations, etc. etc. Nothing pleases her.
As of now, she supposedly has taken on complaints from a business my hubby worked for and is "filing a class action suit" against him...which is to include all the back-child support she claims he owes from the time the case was closed and re-opened...she didn't report a dime that he sent. She claims to be working with the Attorney General to report my hubby for contempt of not paying the back support in full...stating that he has the ability to...when he doesn't. She runs his credit like clockwork.
Her social network site always talks about him...even though she is currently married and they have a child together as well. Her songs are about heartbreak and regret...her blogs are about not being "broken" by him...its been almost 10 years since they've even been together...and for 6 or 7 of those years she's been with her current hubby. She loves calling me "ugly," which I find hilarious because its like fighting with a child...and pointing out my race...as if I didn't know what race was by now.
I don't know what to do. Its constant harassment. CONSTANT. Are there no laws out there to stop it? Is it seriously not a law to post someones address that is private and not even listed in phone books/directories? If CS is being fulfilled...and she doesn't hold up her end of visitation...nothing can be done? We don't respond to anything she sends or does unless its for the kids...and we keep record of everything.
I just want to live my life...our life. She attacks anything we have...anything that I have...and I know legally...I'm not responsible for those kids...I take care of my son and that's all I'm obligated to.
Has anyone else experienced anything like this? I feel so...out of the loop with everyone else I know...
Wow.. First of all, welcome
Wow.. First of all, welcome I myself know that BMs can be psychotic. My BFs BM was like that for like a few months when she found out about me. And in another state or not, that's harassment, and you should get an attorney..
Oh she's done that. She
Oh she's done that. She denies phone calls and tells the kids he never calls. The most unfortunate part about it is that the kids will play into it. When they're with her...they hate me and dad. When they're with us...they hate mom and step dad. The difference is...when that talk gets rolling by the kids when we do have them (very rarely) it gets stopped right away. She digs deep into them.
She's a total nut ball.
I forgot to mention...that after we met face to face...which was a few months after hubby and I married...she ran out and got wedding rings to match ours. They never had a wedding...she sent a huge letter to my sister in law...hubbys sister...that they don't need one to prove their love. She found out I plan weddings...and ta-daa! Guess who's planning a wedding?! And guess who's wedding dress looks similar to mine? I swear...she copies everything I do...or tries to anyway. Then blabs on her myspace and texts she sends that I'm jealous of her. Um...ok. *shrugs* I feel like I'm dealing with a 13 year old...a very dangerous 13 year old.
Hubby just blocks it out...I want to get legal about it. It will be a few more years til the kids are 18...and I'm sure she won't stop then either. Freak.
Wow. She makes our BM look
Wow. She makes our BM look nice. Welcome and come here to vent often. Everyone is great and has good advice.
