I am not sure which I find more disappointing. The fact that a woman who is so insecure with herself and her relationship that she spews insults and rolls her eyes at the mention of my name or the fact she is likely going to be the step mother of my children.
I am not sure why this sudden dislike occurred. When I lived in Austin she and I would talk, email and were friends on Facebook. Then when I moved here . . . well suddenly I become the antichrist. For me, I could honestly care less if she likes me. I have never been one to base my self worth on what others think about me. However, when her petty and childish outbursts start to affect my children I begin to have a very big problem with such behavior.
The one thing I learned a long time ago, especially when you are going to be blending a family, is that under no circumstances do you ever say anything negative or derogatory about the other parent or step parent. It is not healthy for the children and in the end it is not healthy for your relationship. I personally think that this is common sense but then again, those who feel they are highly educated are often void of the common sense gene. Not only does it make you look bad but in the end it will end up driving a wedge in the relationship of the kids and their father.
I am hoping this conduct will come to and end or at a bare minimum will not occur in front of my children in the future. She can vent all she wants to her soon to be spouse and I have actually given her the open opportunity to vent to me directly. However, like most cowards, she would prefer to direct her venom on the innocent. But rest assured, if it happens again, she will be dealing with me, whether she wants to or not.
Okay, I feel much better . . .
