I don't know what to do

Hi everyone,

I'm new to StepTalk...not to the absolute drama with my SS6's BM. I've been a SM for 6 months, have been in my DH for 3 years, but have known his BS since he was born...his BM hates everything about me for as long as shes been acquainted with me. My DH&BF has a CS-CO that states that we get my SS every weekend and also on Weds. My DH/BF takes my SS to judo practice every Wed and Sat...My DH/BF has to commute to school on Sats for his last semester of his Masters Degree...he asked me to take my SS to practice every Sat morning until school is done. I was thrilled, because my SS and I have a great relationship...I go to his class every wed with DH. My SS is getting promoted in belt, and has been telling the world, including his BM about the test tomorrow at the school. She ask my DH/BF if she can attend...My DH gives her the address and neglecting the fact that BM and I have a horrible relationship, and he will not be present. I don't know what to do. I'm afraid I will bring him there by myself, and she threatens to try to take my SS home with her, even though we have a CO...they both have JC over him...if he authorizes me to take him somewhere, I shouldn't have to deal with the extra drama. His attorney said to bring a copy of the CO, but I'm nervous; and all I keep thinking about is how hurt my SS will be if he sees his BM and myself arguing or getting the police involved if she tries to take him from me. My DH's response is "You're going to have to deal with things like this until he's an adult, I cant miss class". Am I crazy for obsessing about this? Would you be angry if you were put in this situation? Should my DH tell her that I will be taking my SS to practice for the next few months, or hope and pray that BM wont show up? BM hasn't been to 1 practice, I'm afraid telling her may motivate her to come and cause a scene. :?

Is there any way that you can take father in law or mother in law with you? I know I have a great relationship with my father in law, that way you have a blood relative there to back you up. If not I would consider not going. She is your husbands ex not yours, you are not a bio-parent of your SS and you have no legal rights in the courts eyes. Your Husband needs to understand this. If you are uncomfortable then it is up to him as the boys father to fix it. #1 not inviting BM when he will not be present, or #2 providing alternate transportation. What would he have to do if you weren't in the picture?
