ok so my ss just got out of the hospital, he had an infection in his stomach, so they kept him there for a couple of days. my dh and his ex wife were at the hospital with him almost the entire time, and i could not go because I had to work. well last night his ex wife calls, and we were arguing on the phone because the boys were not there, and she thinks that if she calls the kids should just magically appear. but she starts calling me names and then she says that while they were at the hospital, my dh was trying to get back with her. I was so pissed off that she said that, I called my dh and asked him about it and he was furious. he called her when he got home and lit her up. my question to everyone is, what should I do and should I let it get to me? i know that is what she wants, and i don't want to give her the satisfaction, but that was just a low blow

Ignore her, she wants to piss you and your husband off. If you let her, she wins. The best way to deal with someone like that is to be OVERLY NICE!. (Its hard, trust me) She wants you to sink to her level, rise way above her, the meaner she is to you and the nicer you are to her, the more it will piss her off. It won't be easy, but it can be fun. Talk to her like that guy from Office Space, Lumberg.....Great! M-Kay!

She says something like that again, you nonchalantly say this: Okay. That's all, just, "Okay." I've found that "okay" and "I'm sorry you feel that way" are huge pisser-offers. I use them both with relish.

since she is obviously dreaming-say it all nice and calm- the response will keep you smiling for hours trust me. I am not a very insecure person when iy comes to BM since DH doesn't recycle trash and she isn't very attractive especially since he has no respectfor her so yes when the last time she told me that he was trying to get with her I calmly asked her to call back when she woke up from herdream and hung up after saying goodnight- I laughed until I almost wet myself then she called back and left this really frustrated sounding message- like she could not believe I really didn't trust her word-I ran to the bathroom in fear I wouldn't make it in time. HUH, funny I wasn't the one who got all upset.

I do find humor in alot of the sad little things she will do to try to get DH and I arguing but it wouldn't be possible if DH and I hadn't decided to do this together(otherwise he might have been a teensy upset that I couldn't stop laughing)

I would tell her to get her ego back on this planet and hang up on her for calling you names. Dont talk to her and don't do her any favors that would benefit her. Make her talk only to DH. She may not like that now she pissed him off.
