Prayers on the way for you and your DH. If it's any consolation, the situation will probably get better. My DH has an ex like the one you described. When the kids grew up, they each came to visit on their own, and discovered that my DH was not the ogre his ex had always told them he was.

Good luck on Monday, and I hope you find Lots of yummy fabrics that fling themselves into your arms. I can commiserate on evil moms, trust me. But on the positive front, I wouldn't have a pair of delightful (I call them my godson and goddaughter) children in my life, if it wasn't for their mom's hatefulness. Hopefully as his grow up a little more, they will make their own relationship with your DH and you.

Much sympathy and prayers, Elena in Tx

Boy, ain't that the truth. My dh's son was here yesterday, for his 21st birthday, which he chose to spend with us instead of his mother. She had the boy convinced that his father had "abandoned" him, (even tho he was never late on a visitation or payment...and took as MUCH time with him as the ex and the courts would let him have), among other things. She also convinced him that since we live in California, that he would most likely come visit us, and die here, due to some accidental death in the swimming pool or spa or something. No wonder the kid threw up every time he left home, eh?

Well, the beauty of is that he now sees BOTH parents through the eyes of a (young, admittedly) adult perspective, and realizes that his mom is a psycho, and his dad is the only stable thing in his life. DUH!

Why do parents DO these things to their children?..(rhetorical question...thanks)
