So...last week I sent B an email that made it clear that I disagreed with her on several points regarding our son - she never responded - and instead has shown nothing but anger since...and today, as she came to pick up my son I got a nice reminder of just how caustic her temper can be....
When she arrived to pick up S2 today, he started crying and saying he didn't want to leave yet, yelling out, "not yet, not yet...no mommy stay with papi" She heard him and said, "oh, what's wrong." And her question just seemed to deflect from what my S2 was actually saying and feeling - and so I turned to her and said, "he doesn't want to go yet." To which she said, "I wasn't talking to you, you jerk." And so I offered, "Maybe you should start thinking about what's best for him instead of what's best for you." And her response was, "shut up, you a$$-f*ck. You are such a jerk." My response: "very nice, B. That's very impressive." And as I walked away she continued to yell out, "you are such a jerk." All the while holding my S2 in her arms...and apparently trying to say it loud enough for my neighbors to hear her...In the past...this behavior of hers would have angered or upset me...at least disturbed me....today, it just made me feel appalled that she could talk that way to her son's father...it's just shameful.
