Overbearing ex mil

10 replies

Hi there
I'm going through a divorce- for context I left my partner due to domestic violence. I've posted before that ex mil turns up daily to my parents house (were I live) to see my child
Now she's started to call daily too to speak to her
Is this overbearing ?
I cannot deal with it and no matter what I say she doesn't seem to understand how overbearing she is by either Turning up daily
Or constantly ringing to speak to her in my own private time with my child
Not sure what to do
Any advice please

Ignore her or report her for harassment?

Don't answer her calls and then text her to say that it's not convenient to talk right now and you will have the children call her on x day at x time.

If she comes to the door, tell her it's not convenient and she can is welcome on x day at x time.

Keep doing it. She'll learn.

Don't answer the door and block her number.

Theunamedcat · 15/01/2025 17:17

Someone else needs to answer the door and say you are not in

What PP said, just block her number if necessary. She can arrange to speak to DC when they are with their father. It's not your job to facilitate access for her.

Edited to add: have your parents answer the door next time and tell her to stop coming over unless it's by prior arrangement. Get a Ring doorbell if necessary

Does your ex have your child at all? If so tell your ex mil that she can speak/meet the child only then. Block her otherwise.

Has she even acknowledged what her son has done to you?

Another vote for stop answering calls and the door.

Keep messaging saying you can visit x day. Rinse repeat.

JammySlag · 15/01/2025 18:07

gosh the apple didn’t fall far from the tree did it? Overbearing? Sounds more like harassment. You have no obligation to give time to this woman and I would put a stop to it pronto so she can’t try and get visitation rights. Call woman’s aid.

Give her dates when she can ring and dates she can come over and don't answer the phone or the door to her apart from that
