Again? Why are they putting in so much energy to provoke you? Isn't it over? People need lives. Real lives outside of social media, where it's all about winning 'likes' and virtual hearts and minds. It's really immature.

[I type this as I check FB to see if my H still has 'married' in his status.]

Ignore them, Jeep. Just tell them 'Bye Felicia' - you have more important and noble things to attend to (your mom and children...and yourself).

Hi Gump.

I do, too.


There are moments in this life when you are so confident in the rightness of your actions, that not even for a second do you consider the option that you might be wrong.

You've hit it on the head. Her family is crazy. Plain and simple. One tells the others they mean nothing to her if they disagree...and she threatened every one who talks to me. Her mom, well, is more than a piece of work. And then there are the step siblings. They are some of the cruelest and most vindictive people that I have ever seen. And they lie. A lot. Somehow, the ex avoided most of that...

Haha. I need to tell them that. I'm trying to keep a level head about Mom. And the kids are my rock. They are helping me more than they will ever know.

((HUGS)) Jeep you seem like an incredibly thoughtful father and son. Don't let the crazies bring you down. In fact, thank your exW for helping you dodge a bullet.

Thank you. I'm trying so hard. But just before I typed this another round of craziness from her.

Ugh, can you block her on social media? Or not look? I guess you can't not see her texts.

Hi Jeep, I'm sorry you're dealing with all that. People can be so horrible.

There's only so much you can do. Try to protect your kids from as much of it as you can. Sometimes its best to turn a blind eye and walk away. It doesn't matter what you do or say, people are going to believe what they want. And if her family is really that crazy, then 10 is right.... she did you a favor.

Prayers for your mom.

Yeah, I know. I have to be VERY, VERY careful in how I respond to her. Yesterday was a prime example of her fishing for stuff she could use against me. Can't even validate her feelings because that would be turned. Ask me how I know. Yes, they will never believe what I say or even the facts. That's the kick now...when facts are presented, they just go on to something else and call it fake news. Oh, her family is that crazy - there are so many things I could share on here that would have your head shaking. The ex was the only one out of the lot who never behaved like them...until now.

Thank you for the prayers.

A recent conversation leads me to this post - which may not be very popular on here but it's one that needs to be dealt with.

A friend of mine from when we were stationed together called me out of the blue about a few months back, telling me about their path to divorce. I pointed him to this site. Although he's never joined, he checks it out regularly. At any rate, he's followed the techniques, got the book and all, and has done really well DB'ing. When he began validating (via text, too) he thought he was seeing positive results, or so he thought. What ended up happening, some of the "validation" texts were used against him, and successfully, I might add.

The moral of the story is to be very, very careful in what you put down. Texts are admissible in court. Just be careful. I don't want any of you to fall into his trap.
