My husband and I have been married for 5 months now and it is amazing. He has an 8 year old who also is amazing. My husband has mutual friends with his ex-wife and I have been introduced but I have been so busy with my step son and my kids that I really have had no time to socialize and become close with the friends. His ex is always bashing me and just saying things that hurt me but i do not let it show. There friends know the reason that they are not together and they belive everything that she says about me. She does not know me and they do not know me, but they belive what she says. I take care of her son, and love him everyday, kiss him every day, hug him everyday, and talk to him everyday. The last time that she talked to him or even seen him has been 3 weeks and she only lives 5 min. from our house. We always encourage her to come and see him and spend time with him but she always can't because of her life and she has something to do. The problem is that she tells everyone that we will not let her see her son or she does not see him because she does not want to deal with us, is this a cop-out or what? It is so easy for everyone to say ignore her, but it is not that easy when she is bashing me all the time and I am the one taking care of her son and being his mom. Just recently she has stooped so low as to talk about mothering my own kids, my daughter lives with her dad in Florida and my two sons live here with us, she makes me feel like I have to justify why my daughter lives with her dad, she just likes florida better and she is 16, and her dad takes care of her. She is always talking about me and making me look bad, what can I do??? short of pressing charges, I do not want to go that far just yet. I do not need smartass responses, just the truth.
Thank you
