Been with DH 10 years, DSS is 12.
DSS mother is being a complete nightmare at the min. (It goes through cycles) So DH and I working hard to ensure DSS is happy and secure with us. DSS's mother is very controlling.
DSS was with us for the weekend, great weekend had by all. DSS was texting his dad earlier and sent him a gif. Saying show this to easylife, it's her fave character from the movie we watched. So I sent him a gif of the same character back. Queue dialogue back and forth. Next text I get is from DSS's mother, from DSS's phone. (Which is bought and paid for by DH)
Hi easy,
This is DSS's mother. Do not contact my son again. This phone is for essential contact between DSS and your husband alone.
Regards.
I have blocked DSS's mum due to vitriolic abuse, I should add.
Needless to say I was upset. DH is seeing DSS on Monday so will talk to him then and his advice is ignore the mother. I've always been respectful, never over stepped the boundaries but currently can't seem to put a foot right. This is the same mother who when was too busy to pick DSS up earlier demanded I drop him home, when DH said he couldn't as had a beer. The same mother who is demanding my wages are taken into so she gets an increase in maintenance!!
AIBU to think that sending your DSS a harmless gif is completely fine !!!
