Karen: I'm sure you've read my thread at least once during the past 11 1/2 years. My ex and his OW have to take the prize. They snuck around while we were married, even went to my cottage and slept in my bed. As soon as he left (and they moved in together), she listened in on every phone conversation and piped in on our emotional/financial discussions. She taunted me, spied on me and tried to befriend my friends. The day after my mother died she wrote a letter to the editor of our newspaper telling how much my ex loved her and that they would be married soon (this was before our divorce was final). Just last week she and ex were texting me, pointing out what they saw as sloppy parenting of our disabled adult son.

SO - I get it. And I don't want her near me. And my other kids choose to not have a relationship with her (of their own accord). Can you blame them?

I agree - every situation is completely different.
