We have had quite a few problems with partners ex wife, she is quite unstable and as a result my partner is the main carer, she drops days she supposed to be having them then suddenly will start to demand they live with her, anyway since I have been living with my partner with my 2 children and hers she has become nasty, abusive and appears to be very jealous. She's attempted to get between me and dp and she also is trying to bad mouth me to her dds which has in all fairness damaged my relationship with them, which saddens me 😞.
My dp has been trying to get his ex to mediation to discuss all this and try to get consistency for his dds , eventually she turned up to mediation but she exploded called my dp a fucking test, a bully etc etc and me a fucking bitch 😳 Even though I really have done nothing apart from tell her to leave me alone. Obviously her calling me names is not nice but I have started to laugh it off really , however what does get to me is her telling her dds lies about me , bad mouthing me to her and if course they believe her, she is their mum after all . This has effected my relationship with them particularly his 12 year old who is particularly difficult at the moment. I know I can't control what the mother says to them, but I don't know how to handle it as I can't say anything nasty about their mum. I do feel sorry for his dds being in the middle of this and my 2 have to witness a lot but how to I improve my relationship with them again they are 10 and 12?what would u do?
